An accidental canvas. Beautiful.

Processing is over the top, and I don't care for her looking away.

Kind of Warhol. Kind of not.

Abuse breaks more than homes

The subject matter makes a blunt statement that's hard to ignore -- one that doesn't need any help. For that matter, the dark processing was unnecessary and only detracts.

Beautiful the way it stretches across the frame. So nebulous.

Quality is a bit rough from what I'd expect of "Fine Art" (but who looks at fine art on a computer anyway?). I can overlook it. The composition is excellent -- the black horizon (or is it water?) in the background, the wooden structure in the front, the shadowy figures -- and the sand which seems to shimmer and shift. Really good.

I am participating in the "Why a '5' not a '6'?" commenting activity (see recent forum thread). Viewers are asked to leave a comment with some of their votes of '5' letting the photographer know why, for them, it fell short of a vote of '6'. If you have found this comment useful, you may wish to offer some of your own to those images where you vote 5.

A good action shot and I do like surf photography. Why not a six? I think seeing some wave (or a more clearly defined wave -- he's not surfing on air, I realize) along with the surfer would have made this shot stronger. Still very good.

Really beautiful. Feels infrared and maybe it is. The colors do suggest the transitional time that is March or early spring. Why a five and not a six? I have to admit that I could easily have given this a six in a different frame of mind. For the purposes of this exercise, I won't bump it. Anyway, I feel like some more separation in the trees to make them pop a bit would have helped this along. Maybe it's the size of the image on my small screen that reduces them to a (mostly) white mass. But I'm trying to look past that.
