I love the reflection on the wet brick in this shot. Come to think of it.. Is Pike Street ever dry??

Cactus gone wild!

That's actually pretty stinkin cool. I'm not sure if I like the cactus being part of the image or if I would have rather just seen the left design made from the straight lines. Colorwise I like the cactus being in there.

I think I liked this better at first glance before I saw the face in the corner sipping out of the glass. I like the simplicity. It looks like the border is part of the continuous line. Maybe if the face wasn't looking straight on?

Lake Steam Baths

I like the feel of this photo. What the sign actually says doesn't seem to fit though. Not that you can control that, heh. It looks like a place that has been there awhile, so to people in your city it probably rings some nostalgia. In that sense I think it works.

I'm not sure many people are going to put as much thought into this, but I'm glad I did.

To nit-pick: Your upper right street light looks to have suffered a bit from the editting.

This is obviously a great shot. It's sad that the actual size of the photo caused people to automatically give it low scores. It deserves no less than 8's.

Once upon a time there was a muts and a ball...

It reminds me of the movie Delicatessen. Soft muted colors and a slightly crazy expression... and your precious little muts ball... thingy, heh.

This photo really sticks out for me. I'm rooting for you on this one.

I can't help but wonder why you're naked with your cat. The photo looks forced. (Unless you're a nudist, heh)

Somehow I think that plant in the foreground absolutely killed you. I don't understand why so many took so much off for that. I would have liked to see her left hand though. If there's something else majorly wrong with it I'm not seeing it.

My first instinct was to crop, make it black/white, and do a little dodging and burning. After I cropped it I realized how much impact that foreground plant was having over the whole image. Even the color version looks amazing. The colors are a little dull, but that's to be expected up here in the Pacific Northwest.

I live in Oregon and was just sitting on my porch pouting. I trying to think of the best way to get those poppy colors back in photos when it's so drizzly out 8 months out of the year. I tried a few things with your photo. Brightness/contrast wiped the detail out of the black dress and my dodging skills suck, heh.

Anyway.. horribly, horribly underrated.

It seems over-sharpened to me. The tree seems to be the focus, but at the same time there doesn't seem to be a focus. The colors are beautiful, but I want to push my way through the trees to see the lake and far shore better. I think there's just too much going on for me. It makes me nervous. =)

I'm distracted by whatever the light source is. It looks to be a low single source whereas my mind expects a hallway light through a cracked door which would go higher.

Basically.. your light source bugs me. Nice idea though, heh.
