and a Monkey on a Tin Box!

I like how you got some catch lights in the eyes of the monkey. You can tell where the light is coming from. I am not too familiar with a table top light box. I am assuming you are trying to produce as bright white seamless background. Here the background is a little yellow and the light on the background uneven. I would love to see a shot of the set up!

Wonderful shot! You are right about the light and the tones! I recognized this as you due to your other blue ribbon shot of a man shooting his musket. congratulations on the blue. Any one of your favorite shots would have ribboned here!!

Greeting from the Comment Bomb Squad!

I like this shot for the particular challenge. I think the treatment you gave it is great to bring out all the texture in the tree trunk. I like how that contrasts with the softer, puffy clouds. You definitely have the right viewpoint here. I am not sure if you vignetted this but the clouds look a little dark around the edges. This might have been a bit better if the edges showing the clouds were brighter. Nice shot for the challenge!

Greetings from the Comment Bomb Squad!

I am just going through your portfolio finding those images that don't have many comments and I happened upon this glowing gem of a young lady!

I love the way you have posed her. She is very delicate and feminine looking. Only thing to even look at in the future is the position of her left hand on the block. I read somewhere that ladies should show off the side edge of their hands for feminimity. So have her turn that left hand 90 degrees. The hand over her leg is fine in my opinion. I think her eyes were brightened just a bit too much. Her skin is very well done, smooth and bright. I think the white balance is good. THis would be a good candidate for a nice vignette to bring the focal point right to her by darkening the edges a touch. Overall, well done!

Great action. Possibly could have cropped off the tree trunk at the bottom, but this shot is great as is.

Interested in how this was done. Did you put a candle behind the glass?? Cool effect.

Very late fall colors here!! Nice angle of view. The lake is drained?? Is his drued up lake going to show up in one of the current challenges?? Hmmm...
