Kapiolani Park, Waikiki at Dusk

Comment by mpreslar:
Nice leading lines, but the tones are a bit dull. I realize it is a shot at dusk, but there is very little life to the colors even for that. Perhaps a bit of a saturation boost would help? Still - 7.

Another great dahlia - I quite like this one pretty much the way it is.

Hey Jeff, you ALMOST qualified for my "No comments received during a challenge ribbon".

I didn't vote on this challenge and in fact, sadly, really never took the time to even look through it. What I really like - the deep rich color and spectrum of the green leaves and the way the light slides down the center of them. What I'm not so sure about is the composition - something seems just slightly out of balance to me, though I'm not sure what I'd do to change it. The red of the flower may be just a touch overexposed - don't know if you can change that by adjusting the reds alone in curves or not.

Nice idea. The post and net seem too much in-your-face, much less post and net would be better from more angle.

Nice image. I think the title draws attention to the second court but it shouldnt as the first court says enough: 7

Yours is a pleasant composition and the pool of light as well as the shadows makes for the feeling of after the game, after the season etc. 9.

Where are these "long shadows" that you speak of?
