Beautiful shot! I love the detail that's available to the inquiring eye (i.e., the toering). She's a lovely girl and you can JUST make out a little detail of her face & expression. (9)

I keep coming back to this shot... I'm not sure why, but it has a very alluring quality about it (and I'm a gay man, so it's not the sex appeal! LOL). I really think it's the amazing shape of her body - very unusual. I'm changing it to a 10 because it seemed to really capture this girl's soul. Outstanding job. (10)

Farewell

Very nice shot! Love the colors. I have to admit that I saw this photo prior to seeing a second photo of the exact same surfer (different pose), pier, sunset, etc. This one is much better than the other (IMHO), however, I was curious - did you spouse perhaps take the other one??? :-) It was good too, but didn't have the same impact on me that this one does.

Truly one of the most "natural" appearing photos I've seen thusfar on the site. Extremely well edited - I think the warm glows and lighting are superb. Congrats.

Incredible shot - congrats on your ribbon! You must have the patience of Job... ;-) I know how difficult it can be to set up for these natural shots, but you captured the moment wonderfully!

Definitely made me smile (as I sang along with the word to the song)! I never realized Barbie had such a pronounced forehead. Great idea & nicely done. IMHO, I would have chosen a different background, as it is almost distracting from the subjects themselves. Not sure whether it's the placement or what, but something about it seemed a little \"off\" to me. Sorry for the negative feedback, but like I said, I LOVE the idea (& the song) and overall I think it's a good pic. (5)

Sunset Dream
by Judith Polakoff

Comment:
Love the dreamy colors & quality you included. A beautiful image. One - albeit very slight - thing I noticed (IMHO) is that the reflections of the birds are both single straight lines. I'm sure it's just the angle/light/whatever, but their reflections on the water don't seem to match their graceful curves. It's an extremely peaceful shot - no question about it. Makes me feel calm & sleepy. (7)

Beta Test

Comment:
The detail on the goblet is superb, but contrasts a little too much (IMHO) with the lesser crispness & detail of the beta. Fantastic idea & very well done. I would have scored it even higher if the fish's silhouette had been a little clearer. (I know that shooting fish is not exactly like "shooting them in a barrel", so it's extremely difficult to attain as much clarity as you would out of the water. And normally I don't think I'd even notice that it was more out of focus, but the extraordinarily fine detail of the glass - especially the stem, and I think you may have edited the left side, as there's a slight imperfection as the goblet begins to round from the stem -draws my eye to the lesser clarity of the beta.) Sorry, this is a very long, drawn out compliment and humble suggestion - the image is outstanding! (8)

Great shot! IMHO, some of the light glows are a little too strong, but otherwise perfect! (9)
