This is a well-crafted photo, like a drawing, almost.

This is a very nice abstract photo that's better technically than most the other photos (abstract or otherwise). It lacks a slight amount of "wow"-factor though.

This is an interesting-looking photo.

Stop

This is the best presentation of a stop sign that I've seen so far. The angle, shadows, and color contrasts make the photo.

Checkers anyone?

Find the Opportunity in the Challenge

I\'d really like to know where you founf this sign - a novelty shop? Nice job with the photo, though; it makes you pause (ironically..). In terms of composition, I do find it weird that it's behind the fence.

I disagree; if you look at the score distribution, the really high scores and the really low scores are about even in number, and they cancel. The majority of voters gave this a medium score. I don't think this is a great shot technically, and that's why it got voted down. The whole "violence" factor does make one wonder what the purpose of the photo is... I personally still don't "get it"; and if there's nothing to get - if I'm just supposed to appreciate it for what it is, I can't, because it just doesn't look appealing to me technically.

Originally posted by Beagleboy: Another instance where this should have scored much higher. You got trashed by the anti-violence, anti-reality crew. You focussed this perfectly: the victim in soft focus takes away the over-the-top gore factor that we see in police file shots. Keep up the good work.

This is very good abstract composition; you managed to capture the blues, reds, whites, and blacks in a very attractive way. It seems to suggest that you also paint or draw... I must admit, though, that it seems to look better from afar.

Sunset Silhouette

This is a very good photo in terms of composition. It suggests a mix of slight meloncholy and slight awe. The subject's black silhouette and apparent adolescence, coupled with the sun at the horizon, evokes a strange sense of transition. If you hadn't titled your image with the word "sunset," it could possibly add more of a sense of mystery, as you can't really assume if it\'s a sunset or sunrise based on the image alone. Very good. I would like this even more if you made it more surreal-looking, maybe.
