This could be a horrible snapshot very easily, but there's something about it that makes it stand out. I'm drawn to the blues and the splashes. The lighting is well done and the shine on the fingers adds depth.

The colors and balance are great, but frankly I can't say the subject is interesting.

Portrait of a Toy

I just read that it was a wee little bear that belonged to your grandmother. Maybe have the bear holding a wee little photo of your grandmother? I think that would be a perfect photo to add to the family album.

I think this shot really did suffer from not exactly fitting the challenge. However it is a very nice photo with a great warm color.

I feel like there's something missing. I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe if the bear was holding a fresh flower cutting? Something to give the photo just a little more interest and personality.

I can see him. I'm just not sure what I think though, heh. There's a combination of "what the hell" and "awww."

This is pretty cool. You did a nice job of controlling your glare. One thing I would suggest would be a border. I know a lot of people are against borders in the challenges, but I think there's certain photos that really stand out with a good border.

I like the colors and composition, but eeeeeew!

This is a very nice use of diaginal composition. =)

My first thought: Whoa.. where the hell is that?!

Firstly I think your horizon is tilted just a wee bit. I probably only notice that though, because I've been staring at it for a few minutes, heh.

I'm not sure what the area was like, but I'm curious what the shot would have looked like a few steps to the left and facing more of the green hills that are on the right side. I'm not sure what the triangle shaped object is on the lower right. Would it have interferred with getting more of those hills in the shot?

This is definately something I would try getting tons of shots of. It's not something you see very often, and it has a lot of potential. I think a few minutes earlier you could have gotten a stronger warm glow on those rightside hills and maybe used a quicker shutter speed to freeze the water a bit more.

Like I said though, I think there's a ton of options with this location. Very interesting.

I think that if the line were straight across the photo rather than slanted it would prove to be a much stronger photo. The border is also lessening the impact with the blur. I think no border or a 10 pixel black border would really give this photo punch. The colors are nice.

I really like the simplicity of this. My complaint is that there's a very noticable grain. I think running this photo through NeatImage would do it wonders.
