old building w color and border.jpg

I agree that you have found one cool building here. The color version works much better than the b/w, most likely due to the fact that the lighting on the front of the building is in shadows. The colors show a lot of nice details that seem to be lost when you converted it to b/w.

I did a quick edit and I will post it here for your viewing. I provided the editing I did to it in the comments section. I think warming the photo up really brings out even more of the cool textures and allows you to see the lettering on the building even better.

I think the crop might be a bit close on the left - espeically on the window - It is a nice shape and adds a lot of interest. Do you have a wider version of this? I really like the brick building on the right and would not crop that one down any further.

EDIT

Day 7 - Duck Ballet

Jon - Nice capture and I love the title. i find it interesting that the waves are present above the ducks but not below. I think a bit more texture on the water would have been nice in the foreground - and I am sure that a Nikon would have been able to pick it up a lot better than that silly excuse for a camera you are dragging around...

i really like the dreamy quality of this shot - the softness of the sky and placement of the chimney and tree at opposite corners along the horizon really anchor this shot

nice details on the eagle but the I am not convinced by the background - it seems far too photoshopped

Sunset Beach

cool colors, albeit it unnatural. i think what bothers me about the shot is the horizon not being straight

Horned Owl

Very cool horned owl - I like the processing and the fact that you were able to isolate it so much. I love VINS - it is worth a visit, especially since it is so close to Simon Pierce, Woodstock, and the Quechee gorge. Nice work!

Antonis - Fantastic image. I didn't get to vote, but this was clearly among my favorites in the challenge. The placement of the people really provides for the greatness of this space. Excellent stuff!

The Organist's View Of The Congregation

You did better than you expected. I really like the use of the mirror for a perspective shot, but I think many don't follow this as many have never sat in the organist's spot. The orange color background really works well. I just wish it were ever so little bit sharper (i am a sharp freak - if you haven't noticed).

Wonderful use of leading lines and vanishing point to make this one special. The placement of the man walking away really works well here
