Very good tone to make the faucet look even older.

Good story in this one. Our threads about street photography paid off on this one. 8

September's Rain
by McRob

Comment:
Like the bright red leaf. It stands out against an otherwise monochromatic background. Would have liked a sharper focus on the leaf. Of course you couldn't get it, but a shaft of sun just highlighting the leaf would make a very strong composition. Don't know if shining a flashlight would have gotten the same affect, but more light on that leaf would have put the image right up there with a lot of other of the strong photos in the challenge.

Excellent politically charged piece. Love the subtle message in this photo.

Avocado & Peppers

Comment:
I thought the tones you were able to capture, especially in the lower left peppers, was pretty good. Not the easiest subject to get really great contrast, but you seemed to handle it pretty well. I ended up giving this one a 6, but I don't think I really looked all that closely at it when I scored it. That lack of color causes people to really bypass the black and whites unless there is a lot of contrast.

This is absolutely lovely. I love the reflection. It looks like a painting. Please give it a title worth the image, and consider selling it for a print. It is just breathtaking.

I like the tonal quality of this one. The lighting is directed in such a way that it frames the subject well. Very good contrasts on midtones and highlights.

LL3-Reject 2

Comment:
Very smooth image. I like this one the best of the rejects. It lacks the busyness the others have, and compositionally it has a flow to it.

Unchained
by breadfan35

Comment:
A very simple yet complex photo. You did a very good job at separating the chain from the middle dark crack so that it wouldn't blend together. I look at this image and wonder why there is a chain? What is it keeping locked in the old and deteriorating door? Very artistic.

Another beautiful image. Very nice. Love the blue toning. Gives it an almost frozen look.
