Walking in the Mist

Another 6+ in another challenge I didn't vote it. Hmmm... maybe there's a connection... (j/k) I like the pink. Not sure why it's pink but it's kinda nice that way. Only thing I don't like is the purse, but what are you gonna do about that?

A Rare Sighting of the Mysterious 20 Foot Long Tiger

Very cool! I didn't see this one (well, that's because I didn't vote in this challenge). I really like it, though! Color and focus on the tiger(s) is excellent. How did you get the cat AND the enclosure both so sharp? Nice 6+ again, too.

I quite like the lines in this and am rather surpised at the score. I suspect it's because there's not enough emphasis on the "rope" part, maybe? It's the kind of shot I like, though.

Magic on the High Seas: A Vessel Named "Island Magic"

Love the color of the water and the clouds. Bear would probably tell you your horizon is just a bit off, and I'm not sure how well this met the challenge in voters' eyes (I didn't play in this one), but the shot does have a mystical feel to it. If anything, I'd say the surf is a bit too bright for the rest of the shot, but that's the way the surf tends to be.

Wait... I think I recognise that silhouette!!!

Cool shot! But it looks like he's missing an arm. I like the silhouette idea and the sky is gorgeous behind him. Heh! Just read Steve's comment - what a hoot! And I agree that a vertical-ish crop cutting off the tree on the left would look nice. Nice interpretation of this challenge!

I quite like this, Kelli, and am quite surprised by the score. Apparently I have lousy taste since I think this is a very nice shot. I like that his expression is pefectly natural. Looking through the comments, I guess people didn't see this as "soft focus" but I'll admit I'm not entirely sure what that is. The shot looks soft to me, but not fuzzy - what do I know? I still like it.

I gave this a 6 in voting - I liked the different approach by using the rear view mirror. Also like that you were wise enough to reverse the image. You could crop just a wee bit off the bottom, though I do like the shot framed.

You're liking that f/22 5 sec exposure, aren't you? Really does make things very crisp. Color is excellent - great choice of background to bring that out. Nice even exposure. Probably should have scored higher than it did, but good placement!

Nice work with the tones. The medical bag at the top makes the picture a little top-heavy to me, but I do like the idea and it's well executed - great clarity of the map and the objects.

Wow - is this real? Love the choice of tones.
