The color looks more gold than green to me.

I'm really sorry, I must have overlooked yours when I commented on Still Life.

This definitely deserves the top 10 place it received, its very crisp and well-lit, and fits the challenge very well - it keeps to the traditional style of still life but with more original content then fruit and wine (eg).

The red b/g complements the green perfectly, and this contrast makes the colours pop. I like the composition, with the reel in the bottom right and the bait/float thingies (you can tell I don't fish!) in the top left, but I'm not entirely sure about the positioning of the rod in the middle - it looks a bit awkward and central, but I'm not sure where it would be better.

Lighting is very good, but I'd like to see a bit more light (or dodging if advanced ed) around the right-most two floats.

Other than that, there's not much I can say except congrats on the top ten, and new image on your profile page.

This is a great image, evocative of rhythm, that uses the artificial tilt caused by photographing "upwards" objects to great effect. Everything from the full depth of field to the sharpness, shadows, and colour work excellently. I think that side of the building that's in shadow works well to contrast with the highlighted area in middle, and the lighter tones at left. The sky has a great dark to light gradient that really satisfies. Well done.

great still life, composition, color and lightins is very good, but the small piece of white cloth in the lower right corner is a bit destracting, I think the image would have been stronger without it.

Love the texture. This would be an excellent overlay! The red really stands out (my favorite color).

Nice colors, nice starburst. It's a little distracting how the path of the cars just ends in the middle of the picture. It has a good balanced feel though, but the colors do need a touch more pop - IMHO.

I really like this shot, and I like the way you've treated the colors. This is a style of PP that I want to learn to do better myself.

This is a great image. Even better viewed after the challenge. Pretty natural flies and natural fibres are a thing of the past....
