End of the Rainbow

Nice concept shot - but the image really does not work for a couple of reasons. First, the screen or fabric that is used is readily in view and we can see all the wrinkles and seams etc. By moving the 'pot of gold' farther away from the fabric and shooting it - you would avoid the harsh shadows. Second, the perspective does not really work - I think a lower angle for the shot would have worked better.

Aww.....How many rainbows we miss chasing the pearls

You are clearly going at a different approach for rainbows but it seems a bit of a stretch for me in this challenge. From a photograph perspective, the image itself is pretty well done - the details in the oyster are nicely captured.

I love the sharp diagonal lines of the flags and the crisp clean colors - but there are some significant oversharpening effects (halos) on the flagpoles that are unfortunate.

Nice out of the box entry - i really like the strong vertical lines in this one - the placement of the man in the lower right to set the size component and the 'double rainbow' created by the cool light.

Really interesting effort - you did a really nice job of using lens artifacts to add the rainbow and to create a cool sunburst. The control of focus seems to be a bit off - especially around the outstretched hand on the left of the image

Interesting concept for this shot - the reflections and textured created by the metal work nicely and the curved edges help provide a connection to real rainbows. But I am not sure I really like the drops - it seems that they are not quite in focus compared to the metal surface.

Good placement of the rainbow to add some drama to the bronze statue. I think the thing lacking here is a bit more punch in the colors and lighting. The rainbow is reall well placed but is very faint.

Nice use of the standard DPC refraction model for this challenge. Well lit, well shot, well done.

Paint swatches! Great idea - and you did such a good job of adding complexity of the lines through the compostion. Very good vision here.

Nice abstract macro effort - the double bubbles/drops are a cool artifact - not sure how you did that! The focus doesn't seem to all that sharp and I can see what appears to be some oversharpening effects.
