Great shot, would have been nicer if he was fur. I do like the dof, with the left hand and right arm out of focus whilst the right hand is in focus.

Certainly meets the challenge, and follows the 'rules' - main subect not centre-frame, horizon not centre-frame. In simple terms of those rules, however, you've placed the rusted thing too far off-centre - I'd have allowed more room for it to breathe in the composition, brought it if you like onto the conjunction of the thirds lines, rather than in the bottom right box created by those lines.

However, all of that is incidental to the fact that the light is all wrong - very harsh, very contrasty, and giving you little help with the definition of these things, nor of the distance of the composition. There do seem to be textures in the metal plates worthy of interest, but this does little to show the detail of them. There's also a great deal of distracting detail in the shot, at least that adds little to my viewing of it: stones in the sand, other lumps and metal things around, the confusion of posts, people and the boat - which are not necessarily bad things, depending on your intention and organisation of those things, but for dpc they most definitely are. 4

Good idea but the colors and contrast is really off. The pic looks very "flat" to me. Try using Levels or Curves to improve this.

Hey Frank, I missed this one! Really cool. Photographing art is difficult, because art is interpretation already, and so as a photographer, you're then interpreting an interpretation. But this works so nicely! You succeed!

Great soft focus and color contrast. The lighting is very nice too.

Egg, brown or white?

Thanks for all the nice comments except for the one from;

I have no idea what he is talking about, how else could I get the egg two colors, just look at the highlights makes it obvious enough, clearly louddog didn't understand this challenge, as his score shows. Anyway, I had fun and learned a thing or two with this one.
