A lack of focal point really gives this shot a certain mediocrity to me. The colors seem a little muted, and it's slightly tilted. I just find that I don't know exactly what I'm supposed to be looking at.

There doesn't seem to be enough contrast here, with the highlights being really faded, and the shadows being a little too bright. This makes the focus seem to be even *more* out than it probably is.

November Train

Too dark for me. I don't know if a longer exposure would have helped, or if metering in a darker area would have helped for in-camera.. possibly both.

The train just fades into the background too much, taking away the focal point. Also, there just seems to be too much space around it as well, to my view.

While this is a fantastic piece of art.. I don't feel it's a great photo.

August

This photograph, to me, is far too "cool toned" for it's connection to "August". Looking at it, I feel a chill, and I had thought of a month like October, or March.. before August (I didn't see the title first, which is why I'm commenting).

A warmer tone, perhaps a duotone in the sepia/golden range, and you would have had a much higher score from me.

Hahahaha..

Some of the comments on this piece slay me. Really.

"A stretch to meet the challenge." - Well no shit Sherlock. hahaha.

Anyway, It's always fun to do these amusing entries..
But, I got this one out of the way early, and can relax until December now.

(unless, of course, something serendipitously hilarious comes up before then.)

I gave it a 5.. simply because it's the exact same as every other pure black photo I've seen on DPC, making it average ;)

I really want to thank everyone that commented on this shot, and were nice enough to say that they understood the blur to it.

For everyone else that quick-voted and said, in their tiny little pea-minds, "This is blurry, 1." I say... PPPHHHHHHBBBBBTTTTT!!!!!

For all of you that voted low because this is more about choice than indecision.. yes, technically I agree. However, for anyone that has never been blitzed out of their mind so that reaching for a set of car keys actually *looks* like this shot from out your own eyes.. you can't possibly know just how much indecision goes into a decision like this at that point. All your intellect and reasoning is *GONE*.

I just wanted to say that.
