Vanishing in the Outback.

I like your composition a lot -- good illustration of vanishing point. Something bothers me about the color. Keep in mind, it may be my monitor, but the blues seem overdone. The fence posts change from a nice natural color in the foreground to a strong blue, almost matching the sky. I think the sky looks over-saturated too, and the ground looks quite dark. Perhaps you used Multiply on a layer. If so, I would back off the opacity a little. I think I would have scored this 5 in the challenge.

I was really surprised by the brown ribbon on this one. I gave it an 8. Well the OOBIE should make up for that. Pretty special -- two awards in one challenge. ;P Congratulations on a marvelous entry.

Lovely image, but doesn't seem to have anything to do with the challenge topic.

I love this one. It really shines. Feels almost 3-D. Beautiful contrast.

PAD B&W Day 2 Untitled

Comment:
I haven't read the other comments, so this comment may be redundant, but I don't like the grain on this image. The main reason is that the girl/boy (?) looks quite young, and I think this harsh dark treatment is unflattering and not appropriate for a young person. Also the white halo in and around the hair is distracting to me.

All that being said. I think the capture is wonderful. I like the lighting and the expression. And I like the tone and contrast of the B&W. The lock of hair in front of the eye is annoying, but that is what it's supposed to be, as far as I can tell. (My grandson keeps his hair in front of his face too.)

Beautiful shot. The colors are so bright and the focus is so clear. I can almost feel the silky goat coat.
