Such an excellent image, Sarah!

HUGE bummer it didn't heave itself over six. But look at the commenters' average vote - pretty awesome. Love the colors in this photo and the processing.

Very well done!

So weird and so funny! I remember seeing this last year.

Because of this thread
it was brought to my attention again and being a huge cat lover and a lover of thinking out of the box, I'm going to fav it too. :o)

I've been looking at your portfolio and you have an excellent eye.

Regarding the blown out portion of the photo... I feel in general, yes, one should avoid that. However, In this image, which is so real and gritty, it does not detract or take away from the excellence of the portrait.

If you notice, there's a diagonal line from the top right to the bottom left, and the man is in that line. So the eye does not go to the blown out window (unless one doesn't have an eye at all), but instead right to the face.

My point for this long post - some rules are meant to be broken, and some broken rules add to the character and quality of the photo, as in this case. I gave it an 8.

Outstanding photos.

I like the combination - very interesting to the eye.

The one on the left has a lot of merit on its own, too. Beautifully minimalistic.

It's so moody and interesting. The half face is very intriguing - not your usual happy happy zoo shot - this one has a story. Love the colors and the lighting - and whatever you used on this.

I would go to the zoo here, but it's HUGE and lots of concrete and as you know, I live in the desert where it's freaking hot most of the time.

I don't know... looks like a photo to me. :o)

The light on the clouds is so exquisite. The subtle bird, the big-ass moon - very cool.

Is it those kind of brushes that you create from an image and basically stamp onto the background? Roz and I want to know how you do it.
