I'm mixed on this one. I like the leading lines a lot. I also like the mood. I'm not sure you quite captured the full tonal range, though, and the right-hand tree is distracting. Still an interesting entry!

Now Where's the Fly?

This looks like a plastic frog stuck in a rosemary plant or similar. The position is pretty good, and the lighting not bad, but the subject itself doesn't do much for me...sorry.

An interesting mixture of pretty sunset and somewhat ominous feeling with so many birds (thanks, Hitchcock!)

Jeffrey - I appreciate the risk you took entering this photo, and the fact that both Neil and Deb really like it says a lot. This one does not work for me overall - I'm not a fan of the colors, and I think the lines leading away from the turquoise/greenish design on her shirt pull the eyes right out of the photo. I do like her facial expression and the sense of motion apart from the aforementioned turquoise lines. In the end I think it's very cool that you entered this instead of a "safe" photo. You probably knew you'd get hammered, but hopefully you'll get some interesting comments - and you already have one fave, right?

I'm having trouble deciding if this one works for me or not. I love the buildings and colors. I think the placement of the subject on the bridge isn't the best, but I also realize this is a street photo and you can't direct your subject to a certain place...

This is one of those photos that makes the viewer want to know more. I'd really like to enter that building and poke around. Great colors and slight spooky emotive.

Simple and pretty. Very sharp considering the conditions.

Weird - I love it! Who knew sheep could look spooky? Great DOF and color temp here.

I very much like the way the couple is looking at each other, though the arms looks a little posed/still. I do think this one is hurt by the color temp (too cool - needs a warming filter either in-camera or in PP) and by the background.
