CC......Hello tyrkinn

Fits The Challenge-Yes, P.S. Great first entry~!!
Composition-Nice..great perspective view.
Background-Okay
My Opinion-Okay it's an art museum so you did very well with the lighting/window reflection there. I think the display is fantastic. I wish they would of used several colors, but ya take what ya get! This is a cool shot. I did admire it during the challenge and voted on it. I'm sorry I didn't leave a comment and glad to have the chance now.
I do think a bit of levels and brightness adjustment would make the colors more true. They seem a bit flat, and of course that may be due to the lighting there.
It's a different shot, I like it. Good find, way to go!!

Fits The Challenge-Yes
Composition-Real nice set up. The crop is just a bit tight on the left side.
Background-Super
My Opinion-I love turquoise jewelry and wear it often. Your squash blossom is beautiful. Photographing jewelry is an art _all_ by it's self. Very difficult and you did well here. I do think the dof is too shallow for this particular shot. I'm sure that is what's causing the focus to look soft. Also I wondered why you used an ISO of 200. I really don't know your camera so maybe there is a reason. Also I don't know what >ND8< wb is? All in all I enjoyed the shot. Keep up the good work.

CC hello there Allen

Fits The Challenge-Yes
Composition-Okay
Background-Okay
My Opinion-That sunshine!! I can not knock sun, since I live in Oregon and we praise and worship sunshine here. 'overexposed' I see from the comments below [including mine]you've got the idea. Also it was mentioned that reducing the aperture/raising the shutter speed/or adjusting the white balance can help correct the harsh lighting. It's a little dance and you either have too little or too much. Just have to keep shooting/playing with you camera and shoot tons of pictures. Good effort, keep going keep coming up with your own unique ideas. This shot has great texture.

Fits The Challenge-Yes-Nice colors.
Composition-Room for improvement
Background-n/a
My Opinion-I like this shot, but not the crop. I think the view needed to be a bit wider, it feels squished to me. [?] Maybe it's just that I don't see the full ends of the propeller.
You mention that your camera is limited in adjustments. That may be so but I think you did a super job. The plane is in focus the colors are very good and the light is good. Camera or not you know what your doing. Good work.

CC Hello miss parker [love your name..Pretender had a Miss Parker]

Fits The Challenge-Yes
Composition-Nicely done.
Background-Room for improvement.
My Opinion-Interesting, unique, different shot. I like it. It has a bit of a sophisticated feel..../?\high fashion. The colors are outstanding. The black jacket is so dark that the gloves/hands really don't show up well. That against the stark/white background is too much of a contrast for the uneven light used. Good work, hope you'll do more like this.

Fits The Challenge-Yes
Composition-Nicely done
Background-n/a
My Opinion-This is a love shot of water lilies. I think the fact that you got down _low_ really added to the impact. The composition, focus and color are very nice. My only negative observation is that there is some over exposure. This of course is a factor for all digital photographers. LIGHT. Either too little or too much. No, doubt this is a good shot. I'd think it would make a good print, it's got a lot of appeal.

CC Hello Johnny

Fits The Challenge-Almost -but shy of a full meal.
Composition-Good
Background-n/a
My Opinion-Hum, I see from your note that this shot has a meaning for you. Good, but it really doesn't for the rest of us. Still congrats to Mike! The shot is not bad at all, it's really very good. I don't think it's a 'color' shot. However if you do -----then fine--that's what counts. I don't think it earned 3.7 for an average because folks thought other wise. I like this shot just not on subject to me. Good photo.

CC Hello Lisae

Fits The Challenge-Yes
Composition-Good
Background-Really nice.
My Opinion-Yes, a lot of processing for this shot. Your extra effort not only paid off here but it shows. Only two negative points to make: The very top is not straight, and the space at the bottom. I do love negative space in shots, but don't think it adds here. The colors are great. The idea unique and so special for the challenge. Good work.
