Originally posted by nephrotic: There seemed to be a lack of black. I put it into photoshop and moved the sliders around - it makes a huge difference. I would be happy to email my changes and see what you feel. Definately has commercial potential

I think he's right - if the contrast were better, this would work much better. The value range is skewed towards the greys and whites, which results in a washed-out looking image. Especially where soft focus shots are concerned, having good value is important.

Nice :)
This would be the perfect sort of shot for a polaroid gallery...

Good idea! NOw, the composition could have been better, I think. Applying the rule of 3rds, the horz. line between the concrete and the grass should have been placed either at the upper or a lower 1/3 of the image. Your position could have been a bit lower, to more emphasize the airborne paper.
Great job on meeting the challenge, again. 6.

At first I brushed past this entry. On closer inspection, I think this is a remarkable photograph. Haven't a clue what I'm looking at unfortunately. It appears to be taken at a fairly close distance. There are some halos around the rings which appear secondary to post processing. What I find remarkable is the contrast between the yellow and black. I'm assuming you did all modifications under basic rules. Quite impressive. 7

Interesting pattern. Is that a slinky? You might get knocked down because they look a little more green than yellow, but this is a creative idea.
