At Last Light

Comment:
This is one of my absolute favorite images in the challenge. I really like the unusual perspective, very effective. The only thing that seems a little odd/distracting is the area by the front horses face, perhaps some cloning happened here? Even still, this is a great picture!

This is a WONDERFUL image...so "odd"...ethereal actually. For me it has a somewhat abstract quality about it, which is quite appealing in this case. I like that the subject isn't in your face obvious...this is an image that demanded more of my attention. When I first came upon this picture when I was voting, I actually cocked my head to one side and moved closer to the screen and thought to myself... " what is this...what do we have here?... I love it!"...excellent job, very elegant.

A two fer! A silhouette and a shadow. I really like the starkness of the image. The B & W is extremely effective. This image has a great late night mood to it, suggested by the starkness and that touch of "grain". The light on the brick wall is also wonderful, just really nicely done.

Mamiya C330! Such a great camera...I love mine! It has been a long time since I have actual taken the thing out of my camera bag, this makes me want to bust it out and shoot some film. Beautiful light and I really like the warm color range/tones. Really nice.

I guess there was no more bird food to be had? : ) They're such the little piglets but I do love watching them!

Super duper creative! This is just fantastic! What I love about this image is that it DEMANDS a closer look, it absolutely requires it...and those who do not want to give the image some time will simply miss out. The B & W is very effective, makes the image more "challenging"...wouldn't be the same in color...the light is also nice... dim, ( in a good way ) simple and also very effective... very well done. 10

Red and Black

This is just so juicy...no pun intended, or maybe it was. The light is so ethereal and the shine on the apples is divine. I would have loved to have seen this with more black above the sea of apples, a more squarish, "normal" canvas size with the apples in the bottom 1/3 or so...I just find this sort of long, squat cropping somewhat disconcerting and un-natural. I think maybe more black "breathing room" above would have made the apples "pop" even more than they do now...they are absolutely gorgeous.

imperfect beauty

A beautiful lush image...distracting title...what here is imperfect? The wall behind the still life? For me that wall just adds character and interest..."perfection" is boring at times...what is perfection anyway? Sometimes I think "perfection" is in the eye of the beholder just as "beauty" is. For me, this is perfectly beautiful. : )
