The Take Off

An amazing skyscape that works very well in B&W. The title kept me looking for the plane and it took a while to find it. The image would work perfectly well without the plane too. Good luck for the remainder of the challenge.

Apocalyptic Premonition

WOW I'm really pleased to have so many positive comments and 2 faves post challenge. Thanks so much and I'm delighted to have managed to deliver a message of 'my true nightmare' that has resonated with a number of the other members here. I guess thats what any photographer hopes to do with an image they create.

I can't be disapointed with a PB but I guess secretly I had hoped it would be maybe top 20 or even top 10. Such is life and thanks again, it means a great deal.

Really well done on your top 10 Wendy. A great shot and should have been at least 3 places higher IMO. Well done and a true nightmare for sure.

Kitty in the Underwear Drawer

Its very seldom that I would award a 1 so as I am about to I thought it polite to explain. Broadly speaking, in this challenge I would award a 4 simply for entering something with a person or animal in it, an extra 1 or 2 for it being obvioulsy candid (by my interpretation) 1 or 2 for technical merit (Composition, exposure etc) and then 1 or 2 for the wow factor or creativity. Looking at your picture and starting at the 4 I immediately have to remove 1 for the fact that Kitty is starring straight at you (not candid IMO), 1 for the strange colour cast (tungsten) and at least 1 for the date stamp being left on the picture. As that only leaves 1 I can't then deduct another 1 for the excessive noise or the soft focus.

I hope that explains why I left you a 1 all of which is irrelevant if you were trying for the brown but if not I hope it is of some help for furture challenges.

What an amazing image and perfectly excecuted too. I also love your comment about it meaning more to you than it should. It made me smile and I'm positive I would feel the same way if I was ever to get a ribbon. Brilliant effort, congratulations.

Nice post processing gives this a nice authentic period feel. Well done. Edit - I came back to amend my awful spelling ~:)and to bump the score.

Great light creates an ethereal feel to the picture. I like it well done.

It took me a while to get this as I couldn't quite make it out from the screen image what exactly was going on. Now I have, its a very clever and original take on the challenge. Well done.

There Is No Station

Whilst I love that you have incorporated a human element into your picture I find the pose quite unatural and a little wierd, sitting at the side of the rail would have perhaps articulated the story more comfortably perhaps. All IMHO of course. Best of luck for the challenge.
