Favorite retirement passtime: nature photography

Comment by Blue Moon:
I think this should've done better. Besides the "foreground" being a little blown out and noisy, I see nothing wrong with it.

Very pretty. One of them looks like it should only be worn by someone with VERY big fingers.

Shrinking Natural Environment -- harsh for wildlife

Comment by Gordon:
at least the special effects are done for a purpose in this, which is in stark contrast to a lot of the entries

How Many Patterns?

Julianne,
Is it just me, or is the pattern in that gate eerily similar to the pattern in the window I entered? Your photo is without doubt a lot stronger, though, and I'm surprised it didn't garner at least a 5.5. I'm trying to figure out why the relatively low score, and can only think it is due to voters looking for more repetition in pattern (and a slightly blown sky). I really like this, think it has good composition, and I like the business. Just goes to show you can't please 'em all, right? 7 from me.

Comment by Blue Moon:
pattern-wise I think you met the challenge very well, evern though it might be a little busy. I love the colors, they have a very summery feel to them. The only thing I would wish could have been have changed was the sky being blown out, but editing was basic so you really couldn't have done much about that.

I like this shot but to me it just seems a bit busy. It's very colorful and well composed however. I gave this a 6.
