a great idea - i just wish this was in color so we could see the life guard orange float etc a bit better - in addition - i thought most lifeguards didn't wear shoes while at the beach

Girl in white

Anyone who spend more than 2 seconds looking at the shot would have realized it was indoors. The pose, the hose, the white all works nicely together. The perspective you were shooting from seems a bit non-ideal (as if you really wanted to be shooting a bit more left of where you are) but I really liked it during voting and gave it a very solid 7.

A stunning glance, a simple composition, a wonderful perspective, the processing being understated allows her face to glow - fabulous work. Congrats to the model for the ease she appears to have in front of the camera.

Outstanding work Andrew. Easily in my top 3 for the challenge. A work of art - and one that would make and outstanding print to give to the families of the ladder company.

Charlene - I really liked this image, gave it a 7 during voting. The fact that we need the reflection to see her is outstanding...

David - I think you captured the wonderul low angle light very well here. The warm tones, the richness of the details all works well in the photo. In addition, the use of the roofline to mirror the mountain shows good compositional appeal. With all that, the shadows on the road really hurt the image. Also, the fact that the road looks a bit 'muddy' from a details perspective did not help the DPC crowd.

I gave it a 6 for the comp and lighting perspective - but the road and shadows issues brought it down from the 8-9 I wanted to give it.
