Dead-Ending

I was only one of two that gave you an 8. I did not like the subject at all, and the image truly repulsed me, but I have a problem with needles anyway. I thought it definitely depicted the challenge really well. Your detail was exceptional. Of course, I think most people voted low because of the subject, not because it was badly done photographically. My problem too. I get a lot of low scores probably because my subject is not west coast enough. I live in merry New England, and I think my highest scores come from Europeans and Canadians.

Well, I was one of the people that gave you a 7 on this one. I really liked the red eyes on the woman, and I thought you did a really good job under low light. Anyway, sorry it didn't do better.

Just wanted to encourgage you to keep shooting. This image could have been fabulous, but it may need a better macro function on your camera to get a really good image. As an abstract, it is really good, but it needs better focusing and less grain. I hope you have tried this shot again. It looks like it might be worth it to try, just use a higher shutter speed and maybe a stronger light source.

Liked the added grain on this one.

Nice tone. The ice blue really works and creates a soft sheen to the highlights. A little blown in the actual glass highlights, but overall a nice clear grain free image. The upright position of the bottles, though, take away from a sense of garbage, at least to me.

Awww, so sad. Unfortunately, the black of the dog really blends too much with the stove in the background, which wrecked the line of the dog. A different placement of the subject may have given it a better separation of subject from background.

Image seems a bit overexposed. Using a neutral density filter at the time of the shot would have equalized the highlights better. Subject is wonderful, and I love the concept.

Liked the sepia affect. On this one, I would like to see how it would look with more grain added. It seems to lend itself to that. Anyway, nice photo.

Liked the way the foam forms rings around the bottle. I think it could have been better cropped. The rocks to the left really don't do much to enhance the photo. The water and the juncture of rocks just to the left of the bottle top are the best part of the image.

Very good lighting on this one. Each butt is well defined, and I like the soft focus on the pack.
