This is an awesome shot. The texture of the pool is great up against the smoothness of the flag. Great lighting and angle. Good luck!!

This is a very nice photo. The border needs to be less distracting to me.

Really nice shot, good focus and color. I don't like the border at all though and feel it may detract from the shot.

This picture was very intresting but there something about it that does not give you that full effect too much going on between the two pictures, the small picture is too much and the skin color in both pictures....but I liked your idea it was a cute pic.

The Blue House

Meeting the Challenge: Well done!

Composition: Very good, I like the crop, even if some below don't agree! You took this at a very nice angle, accentuating the heighth of this old house, and the capture on a clear day helped bring out the blue in the home. The repeating circles and straight lines are nice, and even though I'm not crazy about the shadow on the porch, it emphasizes that nice round roof.

Techical Quality: Very good. The only thing I might have done differently is to have tried to get this on a partly cloudy day or when it was backlit if possible so that the shadows wouldn't be so pronounced. Very nice DOF, very clear shot with no noticeable post-processing issues.

Creativity: Good, as said before, really like the way this house towers into the sky due to the angle of the shot. Maybe not the most unique shot in the challenge, but still nice on the eyes.

Conclusion: Very well done photo, can't say much more. Except to ask if this is in Pine Bluff, AR??? I'm an Arkansan(Jonesboro) and noticed this city name on your comments.

Hope this helps, email me if you have questions.
