Nice sense of motion here... looks like those hurricane pics you see on the news. I like the overexposure bits.

Comment by Arachnophilia:
fills the frame very nicely. the blue and the earthen tones are nice, but i would have played with the balance of those two in the shot a little. i think it could use a bit more blue. 7

Water level on the rise again

INITIAL RESPONSE: Nice 'flod' picture with a touch of humor. Very adequate to the challenge. Brown picture with touch of color drawing the eye.

Composition/Background :
Nice comosition (like framing the center of the picture) . Maybe would have been a little better with the toy truck not 'touching' the reflection of the house (maybe). I like the contrast bertween the gree/red and the brown of the rest of the picture. Maybe some 'unused and distracted space' at the bottom. (Maybe try to crop less to remove the bottom part and the 'block( in the reflection at the bottom. Try to crop a 640x427 for this one (maybe)

TECHNICAL : I like the exposure a little bark/somber ....it makes the picture a good 'flood documentary' picture. Good depth of field.

DIGITAL PROCESSING : Not too oversharpened wich I like , the surface of the water has details which I like.

MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO - I like that picture .. I do not find it 'appealing' but I like it. I wish you had done a little better in that challenge.

Too much contrast between blue and neutral leaves.

I was really stuck between a 9 and a 10 on this one. I love the contrast. The only thing that kept me from giving it the 10 was that when I looked at it, it was just a little too busy on the eye. Great photo though.
