Dreamscapeby uberman1cComment: I think that you might have emphasized the scene a bit more if the sun were somewhat more occluded. As it is, the brightness difference between the sun and the rest of the image is so large that my eyes keep going back to the sun, even though I know that there's nothing interesting in that part of the picture. |

A Curious Shrineby RKTComment: This photograph has a rather surreal feel to it, which I kind of like. On a technical note, the way the scene is lit is not particularly good at directing my attention toward the interesting parts of the image. The white wall on the left is dramatically brighter than anything else in the image, while the room beyond is relatively dark. The strong difference in brightness combined with the strong dividing line of the door frame makes this feel almost like two separate images. Without the other side of the door frame on the right side of the image to anchor the scene, I'd be tempted to think that this picture contained two unrelated compositions.

Scary Things are Following Me!by debitiptonComment: If you were going for scary or bizarre you might have been better off cropping this in a way that removed the feathers. The light is not particularly good, as the subject (the turkey's face and palea) is somewhat in shadow and his back seems to be highlighted. |

flowby sigrun_thComment: This is a nice image, but neither the title nor the subject matter do much to convince me that this is relevant to the challenge topic. |

To be a Successby No1_Dogman_2004Comment: This is one of many photographs in the challenge which interpreted the challenge topic of "Dreams" as "Aspirations". I share your desire to be a good photographer, but a shot featuring a rather simplistic presentation of a camera and related reading material feels more like a product photograph in a catalog than a sincere attempt to produce a strong or creative image.

Enchanted Forestby om10Comment: There seems to be glare which washes out the center of the image. I don't generally care for photographs which are so saturated, but it seems appropriate in this case. I think that the image would have been stronger if the tree trunk and brown grass had been cropped out of the foreground. Alternatively, if you'd have rendered the periphery of the image (including the tree and dead grass) in B&W and only saturated the center of the image, the contrast between the "real world" and the enchanted forest would have been heightened. I'm not sure that editing like this is possible within Advanced editing rules, but it would be worth investigating. |

Falling into oblivionby JinjitComment: This would have looked less like an upside-down camera and you standing on the floor if your legs were bent somewhat at the knees. Textures or bright lights streaking past in the background would also have helped with the illusion. |

A Room with a Viewby TuckersmomComment: I like the combination of rich, earthy colors. However, I don't particularly care for the strong shadow behind the stoneware pot. I think that you would have been able to cut through a lot of the haze that's visible against the land rising up on the other side of the water if you had used a UV filter. |
