Day at the Dump
by whiterook

Comment:
Well, I don't recall a photo of a dump here. :) There are two large sensor dust spots that could have been cloned out of the sky to be less distracting.

I wish the subject were filling the frame a bit more to grab the viewer's attention and hold it longer.

Also, it seems a bit 'dingy'... could use some brightening, I think. (not voting)

Personal, Historic Journalism Moment, Semi Open Air Theatre Receives World Wide Acclaim

It's well done... I'm just not sure that a photograph of photos is interesteing enough to really score well here. Also, the negative space upper right set it all off kilter a bit to me. (not voting)

Contagious

Comment:
LOL... I like the title trying to confuse the viewer.

I wish the focus weren't off on the left side... just a tad bit more DOF would have been better, I think. That would also take care of the noise on the left and lower left corner. (not voting)

A mosque's arabesque pulpit

Comment:
It's unusual, for sure.

It's also an interesting piece of architecture. I think, though, for the image to be really interesting, the subject should be offset to one side or the other, not centered, to really grab the viewer. Also, adding in a human would give it scale and even more interest, I think. (not voting)

A Colorful Subject

Could use some brightness/contrast to help this otherwise interesting and fun image, I think. The whites need to be white and fully contrasting with the colors. (not voting)

Skipping ropes

It's not exactly a new subject , but it's rare here, for sure. I wish the handles were more in focus... more DOF would help this really pop from the wonderful black background instead of receding into it, I think. (not voting)

Winding Down

Comment:
Fabulous new take/perspective on a tried and true subject here on DPC. I like the geometrics you've shown. On my monitor, the upper photo's steps get lost in the shadows... (not voting)

Hanging out

Certainly fits the challenge... unless you want consider Sher's [image]167945[/image]. Regardless, I really like the solid busyiness of it all. The contrast and BW really work well here. (not voting)

Unusual Garden of Elements
by PennyStreet

Comment:
Good idea...but I'm not sure the busyines of the image will work well with the scoring. Something needs to isolate the subject aways from the background. I know the point is supposed to be the mix of elements... but without the title... I don't know.

DOF could have still been used to bring out the flower, still showing the mishmash of elements that you intended, I think. (not voting)

Radiant Barrier Rooftop Spray Paint (silver)

Comment:
The idea of this is wonderful (and it's certainly something I don't recall seeing here). I think the noise in the shadows in the foreground will lower your score. I like the 'movement' of the shadows thoughout the image, though. (not voting)
