I love the symmetry and the geometric pattern created by the perspective. Actually I really like everything about this shot. I gave it an 8 and wish I had gone higher. The more I look at it the more I like it.

Atropos

Comment:
Very impressive for a speed challenge. I think the focus hurt your score. I know the string is the indicator of time, so maybe Atropos should have been more out of focus. Either that or the whole shot in sharp focus. Also you were hurt by ignorance -- and I suspect many voters didn't bother to find out who Atropos is.

I like everything about this image except the focus, especially the lighting and dark shadow, the diagonal composition, and the rough wall. Your model did a good job with the menacing expression.

I didn't score this well, because I'm really not a fan of extreme shallow DOF. However, you achieved your objective very well, and I see by the comments that many people like the effect.

L'inspiration du peintre

I am bothered by the feeling that this image needs to be straightened. Not only does the bridge seem off kilter, but the horizon is off too. Other than that, I like the foggy mood of the scene and the soft tone. I think the grain adds to the effect.

I really like the way the tree frames the photo. The children are adordable and the grain truly adds to the mood. 10

I don't see the grain here. It's a lovely image and I like the curve of the walk.

I like this effect. It looks so soft, almost like velvet.
