Very Nice BrennanOB.
Excellent in every way. I love the wood grain here and the addition and positioning of the leaf.

Very nice colors in this. I really wish I could see the entire ball. I'm a stickler for getting everything in sports shots. Swimming or water polo is one of the few sports i haven't shot, probablly a lot of fun.

I love this, excellent work. I wish the DPC community had more of a wide ranging taste for what is beauty too. However I appreciate this effort, it's really really great work. I'd like to know more about how you "saw" this, shot it, and processed it.

This is such a lovely, appealing portrait. This photo captures the fascinating beauty of redheads. The viewer first notices the striking hair but is immediately drawn in by her sparkling blue eyes. The freckles give this a playful quality and her direct gaze and hint of a smile make it special.

Nice coloration. The textural variation is interesting with the striations on the wood and the veins of the leaf.

This is really great...nice velvety feel and good three dimensionality. Maybe could do with a shift towards blackness but that could be my monitor. Plus leaf would have been better placed on the uniform vertical part of the grain...at the moment it is a little confused with the swirly part in the bottom left. Honestly, if no-one else likes this then it's their loss and indicative of the rather restricted outlook of our fellow DPCers. I think it's 'phloem' too.
