Nice Bonsai, looks like a Fukien Tea. This would be much improved if it wasn't sitting dead center in the frame. Moved over to the left and take out the rising slope there would have been much more dramatic. Good shot.

Initial thoughts
Beautiful composition, meets the challenge, nice composition.

Composition/ Content
A great shot from one of my favorite photographers! The compositon is right on. I see how much work you put into it and it really worked.

Technical
Focus, color and contrast are right on. You have really made a killer shot. I wonder if you ran this through Neat Image?

My Opinion On The Photo
I originally scored this shot a seven bordering on an eight. Looking at it again I wish I had scored the eight. If a few more would have done that you would have another ribbon! Great job, and keep up the good work.


I would be happy to talk further about this shot if you would like to contact me.

Initial thoughts
Beautiful composition, meets the challenge, wording would have helped it.

Composition/ Content
I am a fan of your photography and this is a very nice postcard shot. It is like many I have seen. I think that some wording in that bottom right dark corner would have really made the challenge. It was made for it. It looks like a beautiful place. I like the angle you used on the water and the way it drifts off to the right.
Technical
Focus seems good and contrast is excellent for the difference in light and shadow you have here. I wonder if just a bit more saturation could have been called for.

My Opinion On The Photo
I originally scored this shot a six. I think that it meets the challenge well and the wording would have helped. Sunsets are fairly commonplace and have to really be a knockout here to score well. Good job, and keep up the great work.

Initial thoughts
Very interesting composition, a stretch to meet the challenge, well done composition.

Composition/ Content
I REALLY love the shot, IMHO by far your best shot that you've submitted so far. That being said, I think it failed miserably for this challenge. If this was a postcard it would scare all of the tourists away. Great composition although I would like to see a little more land below the flower.'

Technical
Focus is dead on and I really like the shallow depth of field. The low color is excellent and I wonder if you desaturated some. For another challenge you would have really made a killer shot.

My Opinion On The Photo
I originally scored this shot a four bordering on a five. I think that it is an awesome shot but fails miserably at meeting the challenge. Good job on the photo though, and keep up the good work.

Initial thoughts
Interesting composition, meets the challenge, tilt and graininess hurts it.

Composition/ Content
Everything in the shot seems to lean to the lower left. That really seems to hurt it as most of your commenters noted. The shot itself holds some interest, especially the gull on the motor. I think I would have cropped this in from the right just at the bottom of the hill. That and rotated it two degrees to the right.

Technical
Focus seems a bit soft and grainy. You have enough megapixels with your camera to pick that up. Do you know about Neat Image? That free download would really help this shot. It would sharpen and remove the graininess in the sky. The lighting is a bit flat as well, but that could only be helped by the sun or a change in time.

My Opinion On The Photo
I originally scored this shot a five as did most of the voters. I think that it meets the challenge but could have been improved a little to finish higher than it did. It has some interst but could have been better. Good job, and keep up the good work.
