I liked this shot. The softness worked well withthe light and shadows. B&W was the way to go. The perspective was cool too. Underrated Deb. This should have scored higher.

Wow - no comments in challenge. I have had some that I thought were gonna come close but you did it. I guess that and the score you received is a realtive good thing. It may not have been good enough to get the "Great Job" comments but at the same time it didnt get the "This Sucks" comments either. I thinkn you hit the two areas that made me give this a 5. Not enough contrast - I was expecting a more radical contrast effect or feel. And not a wow pic. A bit boring from the initial open. Technicals seem fine and blah blah blah. But if we are going the route of the reaction club then I think you have the issues pegged.

Well - I gave this one a five. Met the challenge in that you had two unrelated objects but it didnt grab me. The added noise didnt grab my attention in a good way. What can I say - this aint no bird on a wire shot.

I'm not a good judge of contrast. That's why I didn't enter this one. It's funny, you wrote in a thread that I said it was boring. (It was Kirsty). The sky seems really flat and it seems you only have light on a very small portion of one building.

I really like this one Deb! But, then it's the type of image I would normally produce. Very quirky! Of course, I wouldn't have gotten anywhere near a 5 if I had done this. Adding to my favs!

Absoutely beautiful shot! The water has that warm, low light reflective quality that Bear's shots usually have. Did he show you some PP pointers while you were there too?

Very sharp shadow on this one. Overall, the image may be too overblown in the highlights of the foreground. Your shadow, though, is extremely carved and grabs the eye most.
