I was just curious if this photo was made with an image stabilizing lens because of the anomolies in the background.

This is a great shot. I hate to see that it didn't score much higher, even though it did win first place. I think the challenge topic itself probably held the score down in this challenge overall. In a 'free study' I bet this photo would have scored much higher.

Congrats on an extremely nice addition to your portfolio.

This is a phenomenal photo and a great black and white... This shot sorta personifies the nature of a cat for me :)

Greetings....

This photo is a nice profile shot, but there are a few issues that you should consider here... 1. The background is a little powerful for the subject. There are a lot of strong lines and contrasts there that make the image a bit 'busy' overall. 2. The image is a little soft in some key areas, probably due to a shallow depth of field aperture setting on the camera. 3. The light provided by the flash is creating a lot of harsh contrast in the image.

Without the title here, i would have trouble determining that this dog is in a box with this tight composition.

The visible editing here is too obvious for this to be a good photo...

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi Ace...

"Passing Time" encompasses a lot of things we do in our daily routine. It's a bit difficult to really understand what these things are sometimes. When are we "not" passing time? Maybe when we are being productive, we don't consider our activities to be pastimes... Maybe anything we consider to be leisurely is a good example of passing time.

This image didn't score very well in the challenge and you didn't get much feedback on it at all. I believe this photo fell into the middle grounds, which often don't produce any feedback and mediocre scores. This seems to happen when the image has no particular interest, but has no particular flaws either. The photo didn't inspire anyone to say anything about it. There are no 'simple' errors in the image that could be commented on in a hurry. There are no outstanding characteristics that would inspire 'wow' in the viewer either.

This image has a lot of things to look at. It's probalby a little overpowering to the viewer. Your 'subject' is almost lost in the lines and shapes of the carousel. Your subject isn't being presented in any way that interests me as a viewer. Beyond meeting the challenge, this photo doesn't do much.

This is the beginning of a great photo. The burning of the background around the flower is visible though... Exposing this flower for the highlight and using a black background tilted to an angle where no light would hit it would force the background to perfect black without the need to edit it...
