Super-processing doesn't fly on DPC. I like some of it, but not this one. It's mainly the halos around the red and the super white of the eyes. 3.

Magic on the High Seas: A Vessel Named "Island Magic"

Comment:
To me the exposure or processing is off a tad. The surf looks too gray to my eyes. Composition is nice. I'm afraid one point off for relying on the title. 5.

Faerie Kiss

Comment:
Mmmm, I miss those butterflies. Haven't seen them here in WA. I think they were a dimorphic species of swallowtail? Anyway, the blur, or NI, or whatever of the background does give a nice fantasy feel. Nice processing. I'm actually not quite sure what the big brown thing is. I thought a leaf, but I'm not sure. Gonna go with 6. Just a tad oversharp on the butterfly.

Threads Illustrated: "What Does a Christian Look Like?"
by 777STAN

Comment:
This one doesn't quite click for me. Is it the mystery of what a Christian looks like? (Apparently either like Jonny Cash or the neighbor from Home Improvement. :)) I'm gonna have to go with a 3 on this one. Sorry.

Nature's Magic Wand

You know, I can't quite tell what this is (stick or rope in the water) and it doesn't really invoke Magic & Mystery to me, but I do like the abstract colors from processing. I'm gonna give you a 6 for that quality.

My Floating Heart

I like the levitating shots I've seen. This is a bit too saturated which makes the model's hands look blurred (could be some mild motion blur if it's a long exp too since it would be hard to hold them still). I might have cloned out the zipper lines. 5

Nice idea. The two shadows don't quite line up in their rotation, but I'll forgive you that. 6

When I saw the thumb, I thought the deck might be marked", but now I dont' see that and wonder what the magnifying glass adds to the shot? 4

Why the weird color shift? Nicely done otherwise. Good composition, good DOF, good lighting. 6

Nicely dramatic, but lets us down in the end. I just don't feel it here. 4
