Fine Line Between Good and Evil

Impressive job on the editing. I like the implication that light/good is less real, the imperfections polished away, no furrow of worry in the brow. Really thought-provoking image.

That said ... not sure it isn't just a bit of a shoehorn. I can just stretch my mind around the idea that the effect of the line is the subject instead of the physical line I see, so I'll buy it.

Nicely minimalist. Interesting to note the shadows actually have a little color in them.

Much better than what I could get from one drawn line! Nice lighting.

Line of columns whit children

Really nice image, but a bit of a stretch for the challenge IMO. Mostly because I see the line of columns as background to the kids, who grab my eye immediately and look like they're having a blast playing in that big space.

What Prism said ;-) Great job spotting the bird.

A Very Noble Looking Swallow

Nice detail! The shapes he's perching on add a nice dimension to this.

Brief pause before scooting up the tree, no doubt.

Greens look a little oversaturated on my monitor.

The shape of the heron and the color of the water are just wonderful! I would actually crop tighter to get rid of the foliage (make the image taller than it is wide), increase the contrast and/or burn the bird a little to darken him, as he looks a little paler than he should. Mind you, I'm only mentioning these things because this has so much going for it and a few little edits would push it into the splendid category, IMO. You got the moment and that's the critical bit!

Just saw your forum post about this entry. I don't know if I was clear in my comment but straightening in post-processing was what I was thinking. I know one often has to take shots at a slightly odd angle to avoid unwanted elements. But if you had straightened it I would have had less to comment on ;-)

BTW, I gave you a 6, and really did find this a thoughtful take on the challenge.
