Snow Fall Rhythm on Dead Flower

Very interesting shot... the lack of color works well here... The 'rhythm' challenge description discusses 'repeating themes' and I'm having trouble understanding that particular concept in this photo. - setzler

I may be completely missing something here, but I don't see any yellow... If the coin is the subject of this photo, it probably needs to be in sharper focus to create more impact :) - setzler

This is a very interesting image overall, but the 'yellow' theme seems a bit week here... the color tone for me appears to be a deep orange or red.. maybe some hue adjustments in software would bring it back to life :) - setzler

This is a beautiful cat :) I believe that the color in this image is a little flat and the contrast is a bit weak also... The theme of 'yellow' could be stronger with some more contrast in the image :) - setzler

Lucky me... I get to critique my favorite photo from the challenge :)

I found this photo to be quite inspiring. Where perspective is concerned, I really like your approach to the challenge. The small children in this photo give 'perspective' to the vast land/sea/sky scapes shown in your photo. Your choice of black and white really enhances the entire mood of this photo as well. The theme could be somewhat 'sinister' in a way but, with your title, it sort of puts mankind into perspective with everything :) I love the entire composition... I can't offer you any ideas for improvement because I woulnd't change a thing...

Great job...

this is a great shot of repeating patterns for sure... excellent 'rhythm'... I believe it may be slightly oversharpened possibly... there are some 'jags' in the foreground part of the slinky that indicate this... great shot.. = 8 - setzler

Hi Jacko...

I think this is shot is very pleasing to the eye. The light seems to create a softness to the image that works very well. Coffee is a 'soothing' thing for many people. The softness of this image seems to contribute nicely to that theme. When I first saw this image, I could almost smell the coffee... This shot could easily be used for product advertisememt.

I can't really offer you any suggestions for improvement on this shot.

Keep up the good work :)

I'm glad I got this photo for a CC selection because it was one of my favorite shots in the challenge. I see pet photos here every week, but most of them are not much more than your average snapshot. The theme of the 'cliche' challenge was to photograph a common subject but turn it into a great photo.. You have done an excellent job of that with your entry.

The lighting and the shallow depth of field in this image create a very 'soft' feeling to go along with the nature of this kitten.

I don't think there is anything you could have done to improve this great shot :)

Keep up the great work :)
