"I'll get it on the way home, they stay open late."by mattforbesComment: I think this one might have been more striking with tighter vertical crops at the left and right to draw focus more squarely on the very warmly illuminated shop. I might also have used a perspective crop to "straigten" the vantage (which appears a little crooked to the right). Overall, a 6 from me. |

Got the truck runnin' yet?by NikonJebComment: Breathtaking. I was going to attempt a very similar shot of an old truck like this in some overgrown weeds, but I don't think it would have come out nearly this striking. I will be sorely disappointed if this one doesn't ribbon. 10 from me. |

Leave Home and Get That Record Dealby xXxscarletxXxComment: Composition is lovely. Not sure how I feel about the profile pose, but I don't think it necessarily detracts from the overall image effect. Next time, you might consider having your model sling that guitar over her shoulder and walk away toward the barn in the distance along the railroad. One minor editing complaint: the dodging around the subject's face and torso is giving her a sort of "glow" that may have been intentional, but if it was it's not convincing enough for me. Overall: a solid 7 from me. |

I got half way - Do I cross again?by jblaylockraynerComment: Very effective use of the fisheye effect (whether it was a lens or a filter I don't know). My only complaint is that the subject feels unfocused and a little blurry. I might try using a healing brush to sharpen the features of the face. It's a shame this one was submitted for the Centered Composition II challenge! |

I'd Rather Photograph It Than Mow Itby WildcardComment: I love the title. I also like the composition and the colors, but something about it feels "empty" to me. Perhaps the zoom is just a little too much, or maybe it was cropped just a little to tightly for my taste. My overall impression places this as a 5. |

time to cleaned my basementby whiterookComment: The lighting of this image is very unattractive to me. It feels as though it's a low-res scanned Poloroid that was cropped too wide(hence the white strip on the right of the image). I think some darkening and contrast, maybe some noise removal, could have really salvaged this image. |

I'll mow tomorrowby dleachComment: I was going to do a shot like this, but then I realized that I had no tall grass to shoot because everything around here is dead from drought. I like the overall composition, but the colors are not as vivid as I think they could be. You might consider doing a selective desaturation on every tone but the reds to make that lawmower pop out against the rest of the composition. |

I've Put Off Throwing Away Last Year's Rosesby pmichaudComment: The lighting makes this appear overexposed. Something warmer would have been more convincing. Some selective saturation (esp. oranges and greens tones). I recognize and understand that you WANTED these flowers' wilt to come out. But with so little color against that stark black backdrop, it feels like just a faulty exposure. A little creative use of a sharpening brush tool around the flowers and leaves might have helped, too. |

Long Overdueby kevip6Comment: Nice idea. You could use this to creatively propose, of course. ;-) From a photographic standpoint...the composition is attrative, but the focus is not sharp enough to be persuasive. |

Going to Churchby StuckOnTheFarmComment: Wow...this is such a creative vantage you've got going for you here. If you could have gotten the camera just a little lower, you could have lost the hint of the streetlights in the lower right by the church. It gives this building a sense (even if just an illusion?) of being in the middle of nowhere--a bit of architectural grandeur in the middle of an otherwise unimproved wasteland. Very nice. You might consider, too, lightly dodging the shadows on the front side of the church. I mean, the contrast is nice as is, but there's some nice things to be seen there and might come out a little more if the shadows weren't quite so overwhelming. Overall, I rate this one an 8. |
