A Laugh To Settle The Last Minute Jitters

I'm chiming in with the others - the focus is too wide. A closer crop would have brought home the point of the image. I can see why you like it, but it doesn't translate to a broad audience.

Man and Dog

Now see, I really like this shot. The BW and good contrast are excellent. The composition is different and makes you look - not the smooth stuff we usually see. Me, I like shots that inspire to stop and study for a minute. That said, however, here on DPC, in a Free Study, it was not likely to do better due to what's generally popular. I would have given it a 7 based on my personal taste.

It's very arty, Jason - and you know how arty shots do here. I didn't vote, but I would have given it a 6 - not more because I'm a noise hater. But that's just a personal preference. I love her serene look and the high light on the face, as well as the whole composition.

Love these colors and the flat land. Great processing. Looks like a wonderful field to throw sticks for the dog.

Looks like a little nature preserve which is juxtaposed with that industrial looking building. Well seen.

What's with the cage? Now I'm curious! Foliage and river are great. A little color boost with levels might give it more depth.

Awesome colors with the hay bales in the background. Wonderful light, too.

Sweet, with the lattice and the flower pots - I bet it's a pretty picture in the summer.
