A Vietnamese Hat in a Norwegian Attic

I gave this a 7 because I like the rich browns, the pattern of the cross and the "button" in the center. I think it needs to be rotated ever so slightly counter-clockwise, perhaps .5 degrees. That bothers me. Also I agree with Bob that the door is a problem. I don't mind the recessed area and shadow, but the door handle spoils the simplicity of the composition.

Nice composition and fence, but the image is too dark on my monitor.

Good shot. I gave it an 8, I think because of the top being out of the frame. Actually the crop seems too tight all the way around. What I love about it is the way you captured the feathery effect caused by the wind.

Melethis, I'm sorry, I didn't score this very high. I'm afraid it brought that dreadful dead cat photo immediately to my mind, and I was instantly turned off. Not your fault, my dear. It's well done and a good OOB entry.

I like your OOBie approach to this challenge -- using the literal definition for "fire". The score is quite decent for an OOB shot too.

I like the shot and gave it a 7 for the brilliant colors. I'm not fond of the composition of the shot though. Not sure why, maybe too horizontal. I don't think it needs the sparkly noise, but I don't mind it.

This reminds me of some of those Icelandic sky shots. It might be fun to play with it in Expert Editing mode -- using the flames for the sky of some landscape.

I was out shooting today, and took some nature shots with no focal point. And I was thinking about all the comments I would get about that if I posted them on DPC. I was wondering why that is so important for a good image. I decided it isn't important for a good image, but probably is for a great one.

I like this shot. I love the pattern created by the trees, and I really like the soft greens. The branches seem to be wrapped in a giant group hug. It's the sort of image that I can spend a lot of time with. It is relaxing, uplifting, and allows me lots of room to think for myself. I think it would be very nice in a giant size on a large wall.

Very nice, but don't see what is centered here.

It's hard to tell from such a small image, but the fucus looks too soft. Really can't even see any of the detail.
