Path to the infinite sea...

I didn't add vignetting... it's probably the soft edges reported as a problem with my Optio S in wide angle. Luckily it doesn't spoil the shot too much! If I made the boards vertical... the horizon would slope... are you sure you would want that?! ;)

Cats Are Better Than Dogs: From a Cat's Eye View

I find the border far too overbearing and obtrusive for this picture. The photo itself seems good but it's hard to focus on it because of the border. 4

Worship comes from the heart... Church building is optional!

Wonderful lighting, composition and shadows. However, I think the wood grain really spoils the shot. A plain colour would have worked better for me. 6

Still Life

Wonderful shot, everything is so right in this photo. Gorgeous green, great composition, nice use of negative space. I love the round leaves. The white background works brilliantly. 10

Wish Bone

A seemingly simple shot, captured perfectly. The reflections in the plate work well. The range of tones and exposure are perfect. The lighting is just right. The only thing I would criticise is the amount of negative space, which doesn't quite work for me. 9

broken

Creative shot, very imaginative high-key picture. Refracted light always seems to do well here at DPC, so I expect to see this score highly. Interesting juxtaposition of straight lines and curves. The splash of blue works nicely. 9

Beautiful, minimalist shot. Great and unusual composition. Nice range of tones. 9

When every day is the same

Intriguing abstract... I don't 'get' how the title matches the picture, but I very much like the composition, textures and colours. It's a little bit of a stretch from 'still life' in my book for an 8+ score. However, score: 7

Just Add Breath

Bravo! I'm guessing you used a projector... now I want one for all my instrument shots! I really would have prefered the top-left to bottom-right diagonal though, the one you chose always seems to jar with me. I think the border needs to be a bit more subtle... a good border never draws attention away from what it's framing IMO.The hue is just a little too yellow-orange for my taste, and looks just a little like the wrong white balance was used. However, I love this photo... and now desperately want to copy it! 9

A Reflection of Digital Evolution

I'm sure it is within the rules to do a horizontal flip so the writing would be the right way round. The shadows and corners in the background seem accidental rather than deliberate, and take away from the 4 subjects. The photo is crying out for unsharp mask. I think the photo could do with a curves adjustment to increase the contrast without losing the shadow detail. 4
