Day 1 Tracks

This is nice, and brings back some childhood memories of when I used to go to the local train station after school and visit with the man that ran the place. The edit will be interesting to see.

Day 2 Garden Fence

Comment by MelonMusketeer:
The low angle and post in the foreground helps to give this shot depth. The texture on the post in interesting too, and compliments the flowers well. Good DOF.

Day 3 Rope

Comment by cogerox:
This picture has very good clarity and contrast. I like the shallow dof which emphasises the rope. You might want to play with the crop to bring the rope out even more.

Spool of Red

Comment by Bruce_the_Robert:
Hi Elaine, I was looking through your profile when I saw you had entered the red II challenge, so I popped over to see this entry and noticed there was only one comment on it. I hate that (when I enter and get few comments). I voted this challenge, so here are my thoughts on your shot: I gave this a 6.0. It's nicely lit and the use of DoF really adds to it (I started it at a 5 and bumped it up during my review). The red is a really nice choice, too (not a comment I would outside of a challenge focused on color), and the lines in the thread give some movement (top to bottom) to the image (at least to my eyes). The one problem you ran into here with me as a voter is that string is just not very interesting to me as a subject. Some people don't like kids, others don't like cats. Me, I don't like thread. Nothing you can do about that, but the technique shown on this with subject matter that interested me would have scored at least a 7, and probably higher.

Day 4 Flowers

Comment by Shmee:
The water droplets in the left flower add a nice tid bit. If I were you, I might experiment with cropping. The two dominant flowers might work better together with the small flowers cropped out of the top.
