I love it when something mundane is made beautiful.

Hound of Winter

beautiful. can't decide how I feel about the collar, but the rest is perfect. I've been chastising people lately for compositions like this, but your subject has a great shape and creates wonderful negative and positive space, so it works.

I like slowly figuring out what this is. Interesting capture.

Vintage Paris

Comment:
it's ok. it has some rich dark tones and the composition is balancedly off-balance. Kind of empty, though. No coup d'etat, no voila, no auto da fe.

The Drum Corps
by awpollard

Comment:
the processing would be great if there were fewer musicians... but now it just emphasizes the clutter of your subjects... a face behind a face behind a drumstick, etc. The grass looks *fantastic* though (fangrasstic?). Very close to being a great shot.

Robber Fly
by GregoryB

Comment:
good macro. the closeup of barbed? wire makes an unusual, disconcerting setting for this creature. You emphasize this with your composition, which puts the fly to one side and the barb to the other. Great detail on the fly and interesting light. This sort of skillful, competent work gets you a 6. To get higher, I need to be interested or involved in the photo in some way.

Outter go to the zoo

I like how he stands out from the background, very three dimensional, and I like how he glistens, as if emotional. The composition lacks interest, though.

Sea Nettle
by Kali

Comment:
this is good for a jellyfish shot. the extreme processing has rendered it almost into bright brushstrokes, and the composition leaves a remarkable amount of room around the jellyfish, giving a sense of vast space, perhaps a Universe. It doesn't quite transcend "jellyfish shot", but it is a good example of one. (in case you're wondering, that puts you squarely into my "6" territory)

Forget the papparazzi! Feed Me!

dull colors and noise from what I assume was a big crop. I like it. Makes it seem like an oil painting or a study for an oil painting. interesting diagonal on the bird tail. The simplification of color to mostly greens and browns makes the chaotic subject matter easier to look at. The birds just blend into the sticks of the background, meaning that really there is no subject. Just shapes and colors in a composition. I like that.

Short Vacation from the Snow

something seems a little off with the composition. I wonder if that tree is too centered on the vertical axis. Not sure the blue on the right balances all the stuff that's going on on the left.
