what dynamic and intense colors - i love that the egret jumps out due to its shape and white color

Odd Domino Rally
by bobonacus

Comment:
a good concept shot for the odd challenge - but i agree with a couple other comments - the background really hurt your score - simplicity works great here at DPC and the background had far too much going on so that we as viewers and voters could not see the tiles for the trees

P&S Day 10 - Wetlands
by JuliBoc

Comment:
the layers of greens from the grasses and plants would sure look good at full resolution

i have noticed the same thing with complex shots - they don't hold up well to compression and size restrictions - i guess you remind me that i need to stay very simple to score well here at DPC

Day 10

Comment:
this seems so three dimensional - the high degree of detail, the extent of saturation, the use of HDR to accentuate the objects and dark areas

my one concern is the use of blurring - i am going to have to submit this for validation - i think someone is tinkering with the photos again!

and by the way - i thought that there were no rules in side challenges except those that you agree to use

this little guy has more landing area - we don't have these big guys up our way - i just love to see them though- goofy and regal in the same bird

Grrrr Trucking
by MelonMusketeer

Comment:
i always thought truck drivers were dogs - but now I have proof or is it 'roof'

the centered crop works well here - the facial expression of the 'driver' really jumps out at us

P&S Day 11 - Rock & Water
by JuliBoc

Comment:
rock, water - is this a science experiment? is that a pyrophoric metal that is just about to burst into flames when the water hits it?

good details captured - with the droplet nice and sharp and the sand/rock very vibrant indeed

Day 8

Comment:
exquisite details captured here - a pretty mundane subject but extremely well delivered - good eye to find the light here

Day 6

Comment:
the motion you have created here gives this semi engine almost the look of a souped up race car - very cool - i am not sure if it is legal in advanced - i think the creation of motion not present in the original is not allowed, except for in Expert editing where anything goes

Day 7

Comment:
i like how you 'kicked up' the flatness and beauty of the Midwest skyline

that is home to me - and the way you enhanced the grain gives this a very old and period look to it

BUT...my favorite part is how you elongated the shot by the cropping to give the impression of the flatness of the land....
