Congrats on your 6th place entry, Jamie, a very nice addition to your highest scoring photos! I love the way you handled the darks and lights and the detail is impeccable.

Have you ever thought about shooting real estate listings? ;-)

This photo has wonderful light.. the sky is dramatic - the shadows fortelling a storm indeed.. wonderful pp - great colors - really like how you left the strip of lighter pavement in the forground with the patch of green in the right corner.. well done.

Splendid catching the light like that and nailing the exposure. I only suggest a cropp off the bottom, right up to where the tips of the grass end of the patch of grass on the right. Without the sliver of bright on the bottom I find my eye lingers around the shot more and the lighting is more impactful.

Glad to see you got some comments appreciating your photo. I already sent you my thoughts. She really does make a beautiful red riding hood!

This does it for me: the strange world of mix-and-match near-identical homes, and everything built for the car.

I totally get the exaggerated idea here lol. Too bad for the literal voters. I do agree tho about the light switch tho lol. Are those sweat splotches on the drape too then? Get this man to a doctor!!! hehe

Good idea - guess you need to submit this to JPG too lol.

I forgot to mention that I think your lighting and focus is good as well. All around a good shot :)
