There WILL be a quiz.

Glad I'm not in your class. I can't even tell what subject it is, much less how to do it. But I do know a technically good photo when I see it, and this is one. The face is a little dark, but I think you did an exceptional job with the white board. The shadow is a little distracting but overall not that bad. A 6 is very respectable. PTL

Pump Problems

Shame about the light coming thru the door, but you got arund it pretty well. But it did make for a slightly dark photo. Not enough to hurt much though, I can still see the cowboy boots. Good focus and I understand the reason for the tight crop-the light. Not bad for less than good condition. Be a 7 from me. PTL

Retired - Hobby is Hummingbird Photography

You get some of the greatest hummingbird photos I've seen. This one is coming in for a landing. I would like to see some of males. So far they've been females. The males have the beautiful colors. This is awesome as I've come to expect. And of course it's a 10 for me. PTL

Why is the whole thing hazy and out of focus. Am I missing something or not understanding. This doesn't appeal to me at all, personally.

Submarine Dive Tower
by Warp

Comment:
I would love to go in this tower. Is there a simulated sub-dive in there? The picture is a 10. The colors are so vibrant, the greens, the blues, the red. It is awesome. Focus is good, and the cropping is exceptional. Probably won't place where it should but in my book it's in the top 5. PTL

Running Water

Comment:
"WOW'! You sure have the "wow" to this one. Beautiful colors with nice sharp focus, showing the texture of the rocks beautifully. And the water appears to be rushing with such a magnitude of force. This goes in my favorites for sure. A 10 from me. PTL

A Study in Brown
by myqyl

Comment:
I love this shot. What animal is this. He sure is looking you straight in the eyes. Hope you had a long zoom to get this, or are a good runner. The technical points are all there, and I especially like the cropping - that you did not crowd him. This gave us several colors of brown and different textures. Congratulations of a 10.

Self Service

Will my digital that does a short movie print this out also? This is awesome. Good one. The background is really a little too green, but you can't help that a lot. Good focus on the bird and branch. Should do well this challenge. PTL

Evergreen

Your title is wrong. This is EverBlack&White. Your title suggests a color shot, and it should have been. It also needs focus. Only one little section of the tree is in focus. It also need to be lighter at the top and is almost blown out at the bottom. This would get a score of maybe 2 0r 3 from me. PTL

Deception Falls

Comment:
Need a lot more focus to really bet the fullness of this. And need to be lighter. I'd give it a 5 because of the interest. PTL
