Fort Gratiot Lighthouse

Nice scene but the colors are to Disney-like for me and the image seems very soft on the grass, beach and see. I would also crop away the trailers on the left side.

Nice soft portrait.

It looks like you applied a blur (?) to the picture except for the pole and a small feathered area around it? Colors are nice and soft although the total picture still covers a large part of the histogram.

Very moody image and one of the few with real low contrast in this challenge.

What a great cat portrait with lovely soft low contrast tones. Pin sharp on the eyes and nose, well framed and with great DOF. My pick for the blue ribbon.

Even though it lacks real black and some dark tones, as well as pure white, the histogram still covers 3/4 of the total spectrum, so I don't think it is very strong as a low contrast picture, even though if feels fairly low contrast as result of the soft colors.

Nice colored bird. If I look at the histogram I see a very wide distribution of tones, although it does not have pure white and pure black, but that does not make it low contrast. I would expect a narrow band of tones. Also in terms of composition not very special.

Great viewpoint and impressive trees, but not low contrast in my view. The shapes come out so well exactly because of the contrast between trees and sky. If you look at the histogram you also see a very wide distribution of tones across nearly the total spectrum. In low contrast I would expect a narrow band of tones. I do like the fact that the trees are not all black and still show different tones and detail.

Pale Pink

Severely overexposed. While this creates tones in a very narrow band (near white) it does not make it an attractive low contrast picture.

I don't like the effect applied and it is not low contrast in my view. The tones are evenly and widely distributed in the histogram, except for the real/almost black and real/almost white.
