A New Balance

Good trick!
This would make a good ad shot for "Lighter than Air" sneakers. I can visualize the video camera panning around a bedroom with some well known basketball player snoring in the bed, and the sneakers in this position at the end of the pan. The text over would read; "So light that you have to tie them down at night."
You got a grin for this one.

Powers Building, Rochester, NY

Nice contrast of "blue and old" ! I like the reflection of the older building in the new one in this shot. Looking down the comments, I see that this has been said already. I noticed the overall sharp focus, and see that you were shooting at f22. That was a good choice to get all the elements in focus.

River Cage

I remember seeing this image a long time ago. I thought that I commented on it, but maybe I forgot to check the "Post" button on the way out.
I like the colors in the vines, and the curved branches over the straight lines of the ominous looking cage. I have no idea about what the "cage" is so that adds a sense of mystery to the shot for me. The bare trees over it all also add a sort of spooky look.
I would think that this place may be good for another shoot when the trees are bare again, but very late or early in the day, and possibly with a moon in the trees to make the "spook" effect stronger.

Day 05 - Singing

The bright clothing, the focus point, and DOF with the long lens shot brings the primary subjects right out front in this image. It looks like everyone was having a good day on the water.
I find myself wanting to have a look at the black boat with the prow in the edge of the photo.

First thought: This is very busy.
Second thought: I wonder what little gems I can find hidden in this if I explore it for a minute.
The gems: The face at the left edge, and the "Trolley Return". Here they are called "shopping carts". I learned another Aussie term. It would not have connected if the "trolley" was not in the photo.

The low angle light and deep blue of the sky makes this look like "Super Pooch" for sure. The palm gives the shot good depth and scale as well as being a nice frame for the subject.
The wind blown brown tips of the palm make me think that this may be near the coast.

That's an amazing shot Shez. It's so sharp and clear. It looks a lot like a porcupine with all the pin feathers.

This is a nice scene. The left edge is quite dark. If that is by choice, then it is good. The clouds are a big part of what makes this work for me by setting the mood.
It is similar in point of view to one that I entered in the last "Red" challenge. It got some comments about being dark, but it also picked up a lot of views and comments.

Texas Afternoon

I like the subject, and the light in this shot. The toning brings out the light in the tall grass heads nicely. This is a good example of taking an ordinary rural scene up to the next level with your processing skills.
