Funny! A good idea well executed. The composition is very nice, as are the dark tones that really make the "out of place" one stand out. 8

...tough choice
by tiptripp

Comment:
The overexposure in the background is distracting, as well as the reflections on the bottles and the little black cable tie hanging from the top of the image. Definitely fits the "out of place" challenge, though.

I find myself wanting to see a tiny bit of her face - if you could see a touch of profile, this would be a very emotive portrait. I'm not sure that I see "out of place" here - it looks like a woman taking in the view and perhaps feeling a bit wistful or being deep in thought. I love the way the wind has caught her hair.

The Sound of Silence

Comment:
I'd like to see this sharper - a tripod would have helped. Also, in the upper left corner, the bit of black is distracting. Good idea for "out of place", though.

Fish Out Of Water

Beautiful color tones in this shot and very nice composition. Very professionally done. 8

Hugables?
by Mark

Comment:
This could be better in several ways - there are spots of bad overexposure; it would help if the stuffed toys were arranged in a way that they looked like they were carefully places, not so that you see their backs and most of them are unrecognizable; and perhaps if the cactus wasn't dead center, if the rule of thirds or some such was used in the composition. The idea for the challenge is great, the execution is poor.

QWERKY Keyboard
by stevens

Comment:
Took me a while to see the "out of place"... Because of the title, I looked at the top letters and expected them to be "querky", but then looked and couldn't figure out what was going on. An excellent shot, to be sure, but hopefully people will bother to look for more than 3 seconds before they vote and figure out what's really going on here.

Neon Zoom
by Gordon

Comment:
Excellent shot! Zoom blur is perfect for this type of colorful subject - the neon and zoom work together to give the impression of fast-paced city lights.

Orange Bands

Comment:
Very nice composition. I like the clean lines and it fits the challange theme well. The frame is maybe a touch more complicated than it needs to be, but as an image I like it very much!

Robin on the branch
by pitsaman

Comment:
Nice sharp focus, beautiful simplistic composition framing the robin against the sky with the branches creating dynamic movement in the image. Very well done. 8
