Hmm, the border on this picture deserves some witty, stinging rebuke but this challenge has pretty much drained me at this point.

The photo itself... Not sure where everyone turning yellow is a component of high dynamic range. Composition is a bit rough. The sand is pea green.

Alright I guess I had some left in me after all. Good luck.

One of the better entries. Congratulations on not processing yourself an image that looks like it was painted by a rabid monkey on mescaline.

Beatiful in its simplicity. A perfect example of black and white that presents a full range of tones in subtle harmony. This is probably one of the best photos I've seen on DPC. It's not too gimmicky, it's not grossly processed. I could stare at this for an hour and just let my eyes feast on the play of light and shadow. Excellent work and I hope this ribbons. 10.

Nicely composed, interesting subject. I like the grainy details in the leaf. Only 'complaint' here is the lack of some bright tones. Even the highlight in the water drop seems to be pretty mid-tone. Other than that, great entry and I hope it does well. Good luck.

Tonight on the WB, Veronica Mars!

Nice shot, pretty girl. Would like to see a bit more detail in her top. Nothing else to say really, you obviously no what you are doing.

Lot of very subtle shades in this shot, but I think it needs more work to get them to come out and enhance the image. As it is, it tends to just look rather gray with nothing exciting going on. A different composition might help as well. My eye keep sgetting pulled up to the spokes towards the top but there's really nothing there to keep it looking. Nice idea in its simplicity. Good luck.

I wonder if you get voted down simply for a religious subject? Hopefully not. I have no feelings about the subject matter, however this shot lacks impact overall. If anything it would have worked better without the sun (moon?) and puff of cloud marring the otherwise crisp lines of the cross. High contrast shots suit my taste, but I'm afraid there's just nothing going on here to keep my eyes interested. Good luck.

Nice scene that works well as a BW. Looks to me to be slightly underexposed. Something here, snow or clouds, should be much brighter white. Good luck.

Soap bubbles.... (Inspired by Yanko)

It's cool looking, which is probably why you copied the idea in the first place heheh. Could have at least flipped it vertically and presented it as some sort of alien footprint heheh. What's with the dots of color in the center and around the top edge of the bubble?

Interesting subject matter that probably could have made for a very eye-popping shot. Unfortunately, here it looks like the photographer just walked up, pointed the camera down, and snapped one off. I want to see this from the point of view of you lying on the ground, showing me the faces of these beasts, presenting them in a way that really gives impact to their situation. I have to say I think this was an opportunity missed. Good luck.
