Excellent shot, I wish you hadn't cropped off the spike on the left side though.

Initial thoughts
awesome shot, meets the challenge, I like the Sepia

Composition/ Content
A great perspective shot, the combination of the trees and buildings is really great. I like the choice of Sepia as I feel it makes you focus more on the tree.

Background
About the only thing you could have improved here was to maybe take the sunlight off of the top of the building on the right. I don't think that was possible but I HAD to come up with some improvement right?

Camera Work - Technical
Focus seems good and contrast is excellent for the difference in light and shadow you have here. The contrast is what may have really made it a killer shot.

Digital Processing - Technical
I like the border, especially the matching color.

Fits The Challenge
Definitely fits the challenge well.

My Opinion On The Photo
I was so happy to see you get a ribbon this week. It is an awesome shot that had super creativity and an eye for perspective! 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
Fantastic shot, one of my faves this week, meets the challenge

Composition/ Content
Personally when I originally saw this shot I loved it. I really thought it was a ribbon winner. I like most everything about it. The softness of the lighting and tones give it a haunted look that is very appealing.

Background
The lighting is excellent but there is one spot just above you that is a bit hot. I'm not sure you could have done better though.

Camera Work - Technical
Focus seems good and the contrast is excellent for all of the white you have here. I know that some folks didn't like the squares in the cloth where you leaned against it but I think that adds to the shot.

Digital Processing - Technical
Once again, nothing of consequence to improve.

Fits The Challenge
Definitely fits the challenge well.

My Opinion On The Photo
I was tremendously surprised to see that my shot finished higher than this one. I am a big fan of yours and this shot in particular. Keep up the great work.

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

I really like the title. Good job on the challenge as well. I wish that one log didn't have the pitch or whatever on it though.

Looks almost like a Rorshach test! Let's see, it's a woman's profile with long blonde hair!! Good capture, nice eye.

Great lighting. I like this shot. Only nit is that I would like it if the seam on the first pawn was turned away so it was out of view.
