I'm reviewing this challenge a second time after considering what the s-curve technique is really supposed to be. That is a compositional technique used to lead the viewer into the image. Though there ar obvious s-curves in these insturments I'm not totally sure if there is an eye leading s-curve here. Very nice shot however, and ultimately that's what matters. My apologies if you find me overly nitpicky on the definition of the topic.

Though it's very curvy, I'm not totally sure if there is an eye leading s-curve in here. I find my eye actually being led in a fairly straight line up to to the second level of the foreground structure. (Curse me as a DPC nitpicker, if you like.)

I like the abstract patterns of this, and I do find the s-curves work to lead my eye up the frame.

I'm reviewing this challenge a second time after considering what the s-curve technique is really supposed to be. I'm rather marginal on whether this completely fits my definition, but I do find my eye is somewhat led from the egret's body up the neck to it's head. I'll let my earlier vote stand.

I'm reviewing this challenge a second time after considering what the s-curve technique is really supposed to be. Though an S-curve is clearly visible in this, I don't find that it functions as an element that leads my eye to the subject. If anything, my eye lands first on the subject of the fork head, and the s-curve attempts to pull my eye away from it. One of the more interesting fork shots I have seen however. What is creating that criss cross pattern in the backgound?

I'm reviewing this challenge a second time after considering what the s-curve technique is really supposed to be. I don't see the s-curve of the heron's neck as leading my eye into the scene, but there are s-curves created by the shrubs and shadows that seem to fit the idea. I gave this an 8 on the first pass and am letting that stand.

I'm divided on this entry as to whether the s-curve serves to lead the eye through the image, or if it is just there as part of the object. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and let my earlier high vote stand.

the vignette blur filter in PhotoShop Express for Android. I like it as well, I may start doing this effect on some of my DSLR shots.

Neat way of doing a selfie. I love that turquoise!

I like this. Such semi-abstract views of planes and cars really work for me.
