My first thought, "Well, that's not good". Cool result.

Originally posted by Blackbox: Gosh, people ask for validation for the craziest, petty reasons: they're jealous! It ticks me off to no end. This is excellent and straight forward. A powerful scene and perfectly captured. 10.

I requested a validation on this, because the top third of the grass is all cloned. As I stated in my comment below, it looks like there was at least a fence there. It could have been anything though, and the cloning was blatantly obvious unfortunately. A simple fence clone is probably just fine, but what if it had been a bunch of houses in the distance that were removed? What about a road? Bunch of cows? I had to ask, not because I didn't like it or that I were jealous, but because there was evidence left. If the validation request was actually issued apparently the SC was curious too.

I'm actually really surprised this cloning came from someone that's such an excellent editor.

It's fascinating how the bottom of the dress looks like a haunting flame of some sort. Almost as if a ghost of a woman who died in a a house fire.

Flowers by Design- June- The Poppy

Comment:
These big poppies are surprisingly difficult to get a good shot of. It's really easy to blow the reds out and the DOF is tough. You've done a great job of controlling both of those aspects and chose a strong composition.

I almost wish that foreground flower weren't there. That background is killer.

Fruit Of The Month - June Blueberries

At first glance I thought this was going to be boring with the out of focus leaves on the left side, but as I switched to the next image I caught a glance at the blueberries. Those are gorgeous!

I don't know if a different crop would help with this composition or not. As it is, even though the leaves are not in focus they dominate nearly a whole half of the screen. Since I scan an image left to right my eyes got bored by the time they got to the blueberries and had already sent the signal to my brain to hit the next button.

I would have cloned out the sticks in the water to make the image "cleaner". DPC like things clean, so I would imagine your score will suffer a bit. Seems silly on such a nice image, but true.

I'd really like this except it appears that there was some sloppy cloning done in the grass. Did you clone out a fence?

The tree is definitely captivating, but I can't help but wonder if a square crop would have been more fitting.
