Olympic Morning

I like the layers in this composition - the near green foreground with the goats, the bluer midground, and the distant snowy peaks - the photo is a delightful visual journey. I'd like a little more foreground to anchor the picture better - sort of a virtual place for the viewer to "stand."

Moonlight Pastorale

The theme of unreal suffuses the image. The colors, the light, the juxtiposition of the elements (the BACK end of a cow?) and the post processing all act to unsettle the viewer. The sky is particularly odd - some weird storm a-brewin' - all very perplexing, but also entrancing. One asks, what? why? and looks at the picture again... and again.

Harbor Storm

Comment:
The whole photo is sharp and brilliantly edged like the lightning - I think the bursts of light from the buildings and ships work very well. The masts in the foreground are a bit distracting - especially with the halos around them that must be either from sharpening or shadow/highlights or the like.

The photo is just amazing all by itself - but the title is the icing on the cake. What a mysterious and compelling world you have discovered! Great color (cool blues and hot reds), focus and composition - you've made a macro into a landscape.

Too Close

Woah! Blue turmoil! I love the sweep and curl of the clouds and the framing of the trees on the other side - but the lightning bursts through it all! a "striking" ( ;-) sorry ) composition. Gorgeous!

Winter Grass

Very simple - elegant. I like the way the blue lines in the snow cross the golden wisps of grass that are bendind as if under their influence. You have made the image so small, I am not getting any details - with must be only 300 pixles wide - 720 was allowed.

Missing Fall

The yellow and blue make a perfect combo. I like the use of a narrow DOF - wish all the foreground leaves were sharp - or there were just one particular leaf to focus on.

JOY! The photo portrays so well the fleeting ebulliance of the day - a refreshing diversion from the posed, stayed portraits that have their place in the album too.
Nice tone.

Cool and smooth - great DOF. Feels like I am there - I can smell the water and the moss, feel the chill of the fresh water streaming past.

The freedom to dream

Eden - I am enjoying seeing this image in a larger format. It is ethereal - makes me feel like I've discovered a portal into a fairytale. The combination of motion and stillness is inspiring - like the laws of physics have been broken in the most freeing way! Good luck in the challenge!
