What an opportunity. Nice being in the right place at the right time. Contrast is good, but clarity of image is a bit soft. Maybe a higher shutter speed.

Very cute. Image seemed to have a bit of a hazy cast to it, though. Also most cameras have a red eye adjustment. Need to work on clearer detail, contrast, and fixing things such as red eye when taking the image.

Ha ha. Too bad she wasn't blonde. (I will get struck by lightning for that comment.)

Camera and Water Do Not mix!

Okay, so why did you wreck a camera? Image is really clear, and your water is very well defined with lots of tonal quality, but why did you wreck the camera? It hurts to look at this picture.

Nice image. Congrats on your 5 placement. Could make a great poster or framed art piece.

I was curious when you posted to the Sony Alpha thread about using the camera for this challenge. I am in the market to get one of these cameras, and the last thing to sell me on it is the images that are produced with it.
Your color is wonderful on this one, but I would like to see better focus. The fact that you used iso 400 gives me a good idea of noise with this camera. I don't see any discernable noise, and given the exposure of the bridge, that is a good thing. I do like the image, but I agree with the comments that the lower left is distracting, and I would have liked to see more of the bridge if possible. Could you clone out the spire on the left?

As promised in the black in white thread last week, I said I would make a comment if I did not during the challenge. You did a well composed shot, but I think that the material may have kept your score down. I am sorry to say I gave this one a 4, only because I did comparisons to other shots and felt this one left a bit to be desired.
Your detail on the washcloth is very good, and your exposure seems just fine. It is a bit soft in focus, though, and the color did not depict black and white very well. The best part of the black and white idea is actually the background. As to the image itself, the color balance appears to be too green, which made the cloth and dish look a bit grimy.

Actually, I liked the idea here. The image says a great deal artistically, beyond just the challenge. Very well rendered image.

I like the concept, but the background newspapers make this image look very messy. They are distracting, and I think they add overkill to an otherwise wonderful shot. Simplify, and you will have a much better image.

Lovely tonal quality on this one. It is very pleasing to the eye, and the varying grays make this image.
