Fancy That!

I really like this, shadow and all. In fact, this is one of the few instances where I think a shadow really adds to a portrait. Highly underrated IMO.

This seems really underrated to me. I'm having trouble figuring out why this didn't score higher - maybe not quite enough contrast on the faces (a bit of dodging / burning or soft light layering might have brought them out a little more). Still, the interaction between the mother and child is lovely, and the DOF is perfect. I think you got robbed!

Topless Duotone

Jayson, this is really a beautiful architectural photograph. I love the two lights at the bottom and ethereal feel provided by the fog. Very nicely done!

Julianne, I really like the perspective and capture of facial expression. Unfortunately, it's just a touch soft. Does your camera have a sports mode? I often use it to photograph birds in flight and find it works well for motion. The downside on the Canon model, at least, is that the sports mode only works in JPEG (no RAW).

Bob, I really like this a lot. You are very good at capturing mood in your photos. I also think the centered composition really works here, as the power line leading out adds balance and a bit of drama. I was on vacation during this challenge, but would have given you a 7 or 8 for this one.

Arches in the Blue.....

Jeb, this is really lovely! I especially like that your duotones are not the typical b/w or sepia/white. Has almost an ethereal feel. Very well done!

Deb, this is so beautiful! The minute I saw it in the thread, I knew you'd get a good score. Actually, I think it deserved much better. You did a wonderful job in PP and I love the eyes.

Hey, I think you got robbed on this! I was one of your 7's. I like the blurry, ethereal feel.

I love the three-quarter pose and the slight hint of background that gives great context. Really well done!
