Challenge link: OK, but this is really quite hi-tech in my view

Image critique: nice focus, composition - but editing marks visible in sky area and highlights are blown

Out-of-challenge appeal: minimal, but it's a nice train

Challenge link: perfect

Image critique: rich colour, deep tones, great DOF and composition - it's flawless and very possibly a well deserved winner

Out-of-challenge appeal: very nice - I'll be back!

Can Be Seen From Everywhere..Just Not Like This
by spydr

Comment:
Challenge link: strong - good focal point

Image critique: intriguing vibe, great lighting and strong, moody scene. Composition is good although a bit less road and more dramatic sky would be better. Title is horrid - too wordy and descriptive - sorry!

Out-of-challenge appeal: yup - I like it, so I'll be back...

Very graphical - nice approach and, although it's processed, it is done sensitively and appropriately to great effect.

Cat Scan

Well, if - like you say - it's a stuffed animal as opposed to a cuddly toy then you're actually quite a sicko. : )

Excellent gag by Clubjuggle too! :D

Reminds me of when I went my snowboarding acouple of years back and my dear old cat became gravely sick. I came back to a £950 vet bill!! More than twice the cost of my trip (excluding beer). The poor old fella died in my arms that weekend too. :(

Has She Turned Her Back To Us?

A portrait orinetation would have lent more power to the composition, since it currently displays too much unimportant, inactive space/foreground. Good definition from angle of light.

The King of His Domain

If only he were in the wild, he truly would be king. I s'pose the real king of his domain is the zookeeper.

A brilliant shot, very suggestive of the reality he should experience.

Simply put - this is just visually fulfilling. So rich.
