Dont Step On My Blue Swead Shoes
by Slimharpo

Comment:
These look more like "purple suade shoes" than blue. The blue lost a little in the transition. I have a pair that look like that from wear. Good focus and cropping. I think for blue shoes I'd chosen a different colored background. that may be what caused them to look purple instead of blue. Maybe a soft blue background to intensify their color and lead you to them. Just a thought. Still a 6. PTL

Is that really a song title? Never heard of it. But the tomb stone sure fits it. Nice B&W, a little too light, but still nice. 6 PTL

Blowing In The Wind
by JEM

Comment:
Great photo. The man on the crutches doesn't appear to be enjoying the music. Nice composition. Good color. Nice cropping. But there's something wrong and I can't quite figure it out. Maybe over sharpened to get a better focus and bring out the texture? Almost looks staged. Nice job. 7 PTL

The Yellow Rose of Texas
by kposey

Comment:
The rose is beautiful. It needs to stand out just a little more from the background than it does. You cropped off a little on the top and left space on the bottom. Other than that I like the placement of it in the photo, the extra space on the sides. Good job just needs a little better execution. 7 PTL

The colors in this are awesome. Just georgeous. I love the boat in the background. It really adds to the photo. I also love the song. But this photo is wonderful. Great composition, focus, subject, colors, just great execution. Should place. 9 PTL

This is a beautiful cat. Please let us see more of it. This is a fantastic close-up, but I want to see it all. Perfect focus. The fur is so natural looking. Great job. It's an 8. The whole cat might have been a 10. PTL

Man in the Mirror
by dodobird

Comment:
This is a neat photo. I love the idea. I wish the man in the mirror had been back a little, so he didn't seem crammed in the mirror, but a little more relaxed. The child's expression is priceless. Looks full of love for the person in the mirror. Also the person in the mirror isn't well focused and pulled back a little he would have been. And that's my only complaint. It's a 7. PTL

Blue Christmas
by Photodog

Comment:
Didn't he get what he wanted? He is so cute. It should have been in color, because of his color against the light background and the tree. I'd love to see it in color. Bet it would be a 9. As B&W you loose a couple of points. It is well focused and cropped. I like the compositin and subject. As it's a 7. PTL

This ol' House (Shakin Stevens)
by Ptman

Comment:
Where in the world did you find this old house? I love it. I can just imagine the family that lived there. This is so neat. Besides that it's a good photo. Nice clear and sharp. Sky looks like a storm is coming, which to me adds to the "old house". Very good composition with execellent execution. Nice job. It's a 9. PTL
