Always interesting to find all this stuff going on, though I think your dark version with the white birds featured has a slight edge in pop.

Week 06 - Stargate
by hajeka

Comment:
Full of wonder. I keep wanting to say "oh." (Maybe that sweet repetition of circles and the open mouth). Great simplicity, letting the find speak for itself, and contrast which suggests silvery slippery and the mysterious vortexy void.

Comment:
Exquisite. Great elements, great subtlety.

Pretty Stream
by Veiolets

Comment:
Like this a lot. And do crop those sides, especially so I can see if I truly truly disagree with trevytrev about the white expanse, because it seems to work very well for me, balancing all the activity beyond. Delicious curves. (Look forward to more from the FZ18 - not too bad at ISO 200). T

Americana
by Veiolets

Comment:
Very much like the way you show this Americana - good angle, drawing the eye down and towards the deteriorating porch and compensatory accumulata which haply abut the flag and period bench. I think you need the space on the left, but maybe minus the corner of the unseen window. Bright white pillar is good visually and symbolically. Your framing is distracting, though maybe intended to augment the lines in the picture, but I don't know what to suggest. Oh, and I can't tell that there is light coming from behind the flag - it looks just flattish grey.

Some excitement here, but a bit all over the place. (Original would provoke possibly more helpful comment).

Neat, sweet picture. (A little more pp and it should do well on dpc, in spite of being a small child and a dog!)

Escape 1907

The combination of your BW tones and perspective do loving justice to the subject.

Sugarbeet Factory
by BAMartin

Comment:
I am very struck by the effect of the low cloud blanket almost pressing down on the main building and its reflection in the puddle which suggests to me it might also be pressing up on it ready to carry it away towards the vanishing point. A sense of things going in that direction.
Edit: very effective perspective.

Chaos

Comment:
First thought: this could be anywhere. We all ride around in cars and sooner or later pass this scene. Second thought: just enough detail to justify scanning the countryside. Third thought: why do we take these pictures?
