Tha glow in this shot is real nice, I don't care much for the grainy effect on the clock face. If that were better exposed I would like very much. 6

Nice sharp image, I think you have captured the frosted glass nicely with the use of the blue light rather than white light... the black background makes this image pop.... this would make a good product shot for this item..... good luck, Todd.

This has great color and the curves of the dolphins go great with the clock. Maybe there could be more light coming through from behind, adding some reflective colors in the clear glass, but only if it didn't interfere with the dolphins themselves.

Really nice image. The bottom dolphin cropped really takes away from it. Excellent tonal qualities... 7

Composition - There are some wonderful colors in this photo. The richness of the purple is very warm and springy. (I'm glad you used the color in the title as I'm color blind and have a heck of a time with blue and purple!) I think the part of this photo I like the best is the tree in the middle. It sort of divides the photo in 2 halves. The thing about this photo I don't like is the unevenness of the light throughout the photo. But overall I think this is a very nice photo.

Technique - This is a very well taken photo under these circumstances. The unevenness of the lighting makes it tricky to get the exposure just right, at the happy medium. The color would've shown up better if it were exposed just a little longer, but it definitely works as is.

Overall - I gave this photo a 7. I think its a pretty good photo with some great color. It is a good photo for this challenge. This is a nice pic. Good luck in future challenges. - Inspzil

Great photo. I didn't have time to vote during the challenge, but I had this pegged as a top 3. I think you were underrated because of all the bird/pond type bird shots in the challenge. I just love this, and it's going into my favorites!
