Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
by Damon

Comment by Cory:
This image would have been much more suited to "The Lost World"... As it is, it's entirely unconnected to the chosen novel. What a shame..

It's a lovely image, but without the critical measure of meeting the challenge, I'm afraid I cannot but give this a 4 - which is entirely for the eyecandy.

Bumped to a 5

Comment by vawendy:
Not sure the foreground adds much. At first I thought that the weeds in the lower left might lead nicely into the interesting area of the upper left, but I think it points out that that there's just not much interesting in the foreground, and it's quite shadowed.

I would love to see this cropped just as the upper 1/4 of the photo. That part is particularly nice. :)

I wish there was more of a connection to the novel, however. -6-

6...I love the light pouring through the trees.This conjures nothing of the novel for me. The HDR effect is almost too much for my taste.

Sun Flare Days at the Mill

Comment by Denielle:
I don't care what anyone says... I think this is great. And looking at the image, there are plenty of "sun" flares, beams, stars, bursts, etc.
And the old mill in the background is awesome. Good work.

Minimal Editing, Maximum quality......The Lock of the Future
by Damon

Comment by Denielle:
I really like how this turned out with the red! So vibrant. The lighting on the key and lock also work very well, with the slight hint of the shadow behind the key! Great work. Hope it does well.

Comment by Tiberius:
I like the processing and the colors. It makes look out of this world to a certain extent. The tilt however ruins it. The grass on the bottom mid-left is a bit too much too. 5

Comment by lunachicken:
I can kind of feel the tie to the story on this one but it may be a bit of a stretch. I like the rays of light though the trees and water fall. The plants in the foreground might be a tad over processed, especially in the light on the left. 6

Comment by tvsometime:
This looks more like the garden of eden than the utopian world conceived by Aldus Huxley in the book as I remember it. But still is is a well executed photo with a more generalized utopian ideal nicely presented.
