Beautiful. The colors are so rich, and the background enhances a feeling of nature.

Interesting, though a little soft on focus and grainy.

An instance here a blown background actually works. Bravo!

The Bride

The bride doesn't look very happy here...color temp seems a bit cool, but maybe was intentional?

Love my AAs

I got a chuckle out of this, and like the angles of hard light. I agree with blue moon that the color temp's too warm, though. Would be interesting to see corrected, even as far as tungsten (though that might be too cool).

Do you want AA's with that?

This was one of my favorite entries. Extra creative, and very sharp. Nice job!

How Many Patterns?
by JuliBoc

Comment:
Julianne,
Is it just me, or is the pattern in that gate eerily similar to the pattern in the window I entered? Your photo is without doubt a lot stronger, though, and I'm surprised it didn't garner at least a 5.5. I'm trying to figure out why the relatively low score, and can only think it is due to voters looking for more repetition in pattern (and a slightly blown sky). I really like this, think it has good composition, and I like the business. Just goes to show you can't please 'em all, right? 7 from me.

I like the lighting on these a lot, and think you have a nice composition here. Did you take this at the Desert Museum by any chance? I visited Tuscon last year and could have spent days there.
