This is terrific for a p&s camera, Jeffery. And thanks for the technical tips.

Dude...Time to upgrade??

Good shot, and even the photographer looks like an anachronism. BTW I like the sepia -- adds to the old feeling of the scene.

Impressionism at the dentist

Comment:
I can see why this didn't do well with the voters -- rather pale and subtle, but I like it, and I like the double entendre of "impression...". And of course I agree that it's an anachronism. Now we only see advertisements on the walls -- for teeth whitening, tooth cleaning systems, gum restoration, etc.

Dog Walk

This is really nice. The vibrant colors are the first thing that catches my eye. The blue of the umbrella repeated in the slacks, and the green of the grass repeated in the raincoat. The wet pavement and the sunshine make a very special Spring moment. And of course the tree is magnificent. I like the lines of the paved walkways leading to the brick building in the background. The dog is the final something extra that tops it off. Congratulation on a new front page image.

I think the composition hurt the score. The subject is dead center with empty space to the right and a half a cow on the left. And while the cow is standing straight up, the slope of the land makes it look as though the photo needs straightening. I like the textures and the colors in the pasture, even though they look unnaturally orange on my monitor. In spite of all these negative things I said, I like the shot and gave it a 6.

You really work magic. How can someone ironing be so captivating?! Well The Potato Peeler is also captivating. It seems the subject hardly matters, it's all in the presentation and the light. Congratulation on another outstanding image.

P.S. I like this much better than the other, uncropped, version in your portfolio.

Very nice capture of the birds. I think the idea of leaving the legs in the shot was brilliant. I'm sure I would have cropped them out, and that's why your photo scored 6.5 while mine scored 5.5. Congratulation on a good shot, and a good score and placement.

Well, you know what -- I like this shot. It conveys that sick dizzy feel you get from spinning. I don't mind the focus. A little more contrast and a levels adjustment might improve it a bit. Or -- I don't know how you converted it to b&w, but you might want to take a look at the tutorial on that subject. There is a lot that can be done to adjust the b&w quality when desaturating.
