It's Not The Size That Matters

Cute shot. I especially like the dog at the bottom. No ones interested in your tiny fish, not even him. I like the black background. Wish you had lightened just a little. BUT the challenge is "Your Profession". What does this photo have to do with your profession? I sure hope you're not a fisherman. If your were I don't think you would have shown this photo. Photo is an 8 but didn't meet the challenge, so can only give a 6. PTL Of course this is assuming you work. Forgive me if I'm wrong.

Not real sure of your profession from this shot. It's a very good photo, interest, color, focus, cropping. I especially like the water on the right. To me this just adds something to it. I know you are going to be told it should have been cropped out, technically. But I'm glad you left it in. The grey buildings in the background make the color stand out, and I like the Christmas balls behind them. The photo is a 10 but I don't feel you've meet the challenge. Again I can't figure out your profession, unless it is a human interest reporter. So I must give a 7. Sorry PTL Of course I'm assuming you do work.

What emotion, even without the title. I hate posed shots and this does not look posed. What a big job. I like the soft focus, works well. Would have liked it a little softer and not so bright ( or rich in color). Toned down would have emitted more emotion. I hope you can understand what I mean. Still a very good shot. Worth a 7 in my book. PTL

I'm a 64 year old ski bum/ski guide.

I'm a 58 year old bum who wished she could ski and can't guide a mouse around the computer program. Good shot, clear, sharp, well composed, just too tight of crop on the top and bottom. I agree with your side edges. A strong 7. PTL

The idea is wild. Don't see a particular readon for the cropping. Wish the whole thing had been in focus. I think that would have added at least 2 more points to it. Even like the shadow. I flat out like this - the idea more than the technology. I'll hvae to give you a 7 for it. PLT. I enjoyed the laugh that much. Thanks

I like this! Nothing exciting or intricate but I like it. It's diffferent. I would never have thought of this, nor would many others if they'll admit it. Good focus, perfect cropping. Love the arc. It kills me to say this, with the way I feel about B&W, but think it might have been good in B&W. Maybe not for this challenge but I think people would really look long and hard then. Still very good. Worth an 8 to me (Might have been a 10 in B&W but don't tell anyone I said so. PTL

New Genes Cure Diabetes

I have several thoughts on this one. Both items should, in my opinion, either be behind the chart or infront of it. Too distracting as it is. I know what a syringe looks like and want to see the machine unobstructed. And would like to have seen more of the machine. Like the chart, it is really neat and unique, but as placed is too distracting. Good idea just needs better execution, I feel. Good focus and good subject. As is I give it a 5. PTL

If the mouse is what you are shooting, the key board should not be there, and is just distraction. The mouse is uniquely showing colors from the light, looks good. If the whole thing is what you are shooting you have very poor focus. Do like the table they are on. As is, is only worth a 4. PTL

The Post Man

Doesn't look like this one is addressed either. Could be way, way far, up in the front, I guess. Not trying to be a smart-aleck but this photo shows you are one who mails stuff, not the mail man. So I'm really not how sure your title is correct. Yes, this is nit picking but then that's what voting on these is. It's a fairly good shot, all in all. Good light, nice composition, little too soft focus on the hand, white envelope blown out, but still not bad shot. Worth a 6. PTL

Detecting Osteoporosis: How Strong Are Your Bones?

Comment:
Awesome shot. Is this a picture of an xray or what? I hope you tell us. And how strong is a bone like this? Doesn't look strong at all. By the way I like the photo. Not sure what ii is a photo of can't really justly judge it. But I like what I see - it's clear enough for me to see so I'll give it a 6. PLT
