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.

Nice idea for the Still challenge. Great use of shallow DOF. The colors are restful. Good entry.

Oh Catherine, I'm so glad this shot is yours. A score over 6 is good, but not good enough for this image -- it's a beauty.

Nice capture of the hair, but what I really like about this shot is the spark in the model's expression. She's lovely, and the lighting really caught her beauty.

Well, in my opinion, this is a very ugly image. BUT it's a very ugly subject, and this was an excellent use for the "spin" challenge. You won hands down in my book. Bring on the OOBIE!!!!
