Hard Water

This could have done with more contrast, though it is hard to do when we are not allowed to dodge and burn. It needed a sharper focus too so the detail of the icy branch could have shown better. Maybe taking at a differenct time of day would have added the crispness this image needs. Still, the attempt was a good one. Keep on trying. These snowscapes are worth the effort when you finally get that perfect shot.

Seems too oversharpened. Perhaps just doing an unsharp mask would have been enough.

I think the duotone may have wrecked this image. I hope we will see the color image when the challenge is over.

Your exposure was too long on this one. You could have reduced the overblown highlights by adjusting your camera to a higher aperture, or even changing your iso to a lower number. Night shots take a lot of practice, but it is worth the trying just to finally get those wonderful shots we all strive to get.

Very strong contrast. Love the way you caught the strands of hair as part of the silhouette. Hey, is that an orb in the background? (lol)

This is very dark, which prevents me from appreciating what the image is. Lighten it up a bit, and work a little with curves and any highlights that were blown out by increasing brightness would be taken care of.

...Parched...

Very moody pic. I love the starkness of the tree group in the foreground. Your choice of tone doesn't necessarily depict being parched, but the trees definitely do. I also like the way that you show the shadow, which completes the upper part of the tree which we don't see. Nice job.
