The concept of this photo was good, but the end result is lacking. It could be improved by using a clean fork! Plus I would lose the pepper, sorry it looks likes bugs to me!

"Don't take the outside lane!"

Thanks everyone for your comments. The title comes from the fact that in track no one likes to run in the outside lane. On some tracks the outside lane is in terrible shape, (not this one however), plus there is the perception that you have to run farther. I framed the picture intentionally with the outside lane cut off to give that illusion of it falling off the photo. I guess you have to be a track person to get it!

The pixelation that some of you were seeing is the actual color of asphalt. The grassy areas do not show that graininess, no do the white lines.

I had thought about cropping the top of the photo to take off the fence, but to get the correct size (640x480) it would distort the lines so I left it as is. Plus I thought it gave a better perspective to have the upper area with the lighter area of the fence.

Thanks again for all the comments!

nice presentation of the subject but your background (the blue fabric) needs to go

good capture of the theme, it looks a little dark however, plus it needs to be just a bit to the right, you got just a bit of the door in the upper left corner.

Scrolling

to really make this shot, it needs to be composed to only include the shadows, (get those charis out of there!)
Otherwise I like it, good idea!

nice shot, good lighting, I would have cropped off the very bottom where the poles are however.

I love the contrasting colors of the red and green! The water drops give good dimesion as well. Your framing is slightly off, cut off on the right side and another flower on the left. The blurred background is nice. Good job!

I like all the colors in this shot, the idea is good, but I would have tried to get the cds to be a little more symmetrical or more random. Either way I think it would improve it.
