Fire in the sky

Oh, my, the colors are just wonderful and the perspective is great. I might clone out that teeny little light in the buildings on the left and let the sky totally take over the shot.

Literal (though often misspelled) take on the challenge, but not terribly appealing to me photographically.

The scene is common in some places, I know, but there is so much plain, bright white here I am having trouble seeing much beauty in it.

The stones are nice, but the lighting is creating quite a bit of glare.

I like the shape of the leaf and the diagonal leading line of the pipe. Nice, subdued tones, too.

Kiss the Brick

Very nice shot of a brick wall. Looks like perfect rule of thirds composition, and nicely imperfect bricks, besides.

Here for the Holidays

Without the little fake lights this would have looked real enough to more closely meet my idea of the challenge. But frankly the birds around here are slouches in the decorating department, so while pretty, this is definitely not something I see ... well, ever. Nicely done shot, though.

I keep trying to figure out why I like this so much. I think because it's just so incredibly random-looking, with this beautifully colored feather in a tiny spider web on a decaying log, and detail in all the right places to appreciate it. I'm not sure I like the dark space and white blotch on the right so much, but I'm not sure I'd crop it, either. I suspect I will come back and ponder this one some more because it intrigues me!

Nice find! The reflections show a person and blue sky, while the background is pure black ... the discrpancy is a bit distracting from the car itself.

I adore the composition and lighting. Simple and so very lovely to my eyes. But (and it's a pretty big "but") it looks awfully oversaturated on my monitor. I can't tell you how much I wish that weren't the case!!! Also, it could use maybe a bit more contrast to get rid of the halo around the light bulb.
