I like the perspective, the only thing I find distracting is the grass, my eye is tending to be drawn to the grass more than the statue at the minute, I don't know if it is the colour or because of the focus. The sky is a cracking colour.

Day 06 - Simba

This is a nice capture of your pet. However, he's gotten lost in the same tone color of the needles that are on the ground. It would be a lot better to have him cropped much closer so that he's not overwhelmed by the groundcover.

Very good angle for this. Olmost looks like he is ready to ride down hill on a charge.

I like the angle you used. It makes the stute look so noble and historic! And yes. That is a gorgeous sky.

Hi David.

I have to admit that I am no longer a fan of the 'long-exposure red-shift' light trick that digital cameras often play on us. If you have PS or PS elements, a curve change might correct this, but I find the easiest cheat here is to convert to b/w and eliminate the red altogether.

Your clone tool or healing brush will eliminate the smudges for the most part and even in basic editing, you'll want to eliminate those quickly to save a point or two in the challenges.

I love the gradient in the sky. Good job

Day 04 - Trees

Comment by Arcanist:
This is one of those images that would really benefit from a black-and-white conversion and a heavy push on contrast. Although it appears that this is a really dense area of forest is there a house back there hiding in the bushes?

Day 09 - Liberty

That is a beautiful blue sky over that school. That is indeed a very interesting lamp post. Very modern, and fits the style of that new-looking school. It looks like a nice place to learn and hang out with your friends.
