The Pause That Refreshes

i feel like i'm looking at the first frame of an avant garde movie. I can hear the echoing footsteps of a shadowy figure as they walk from the background to pick up the bottle. Actually it might have been more interesting for me if you had a shadowy figure in that empty space on the right...maybe not.

i wish your pattern was a bit tighter so none of it extended outside of the frame, as it makes it feel a bit messy to me.

Seattle Skyline

nice exposure. I'll nit pick and wonder if you could have moved slightly to the right so as to separate the needle from that other building behind it, as i believe it would have strengthened your composition

nice job capturing some very interesting conditions and taking care in the composition as well.

Morning Mist in Paths of Green
by fotodude

Comment:
I really like the mood you've created. I think the extreme highlight at the top really adds to the image. I'm having some trouble with the balance of the composition though. It's hard to explain, but for me it seems alot of focus on the path is on the left side of the crack due to it lighter shade. That seems to set my attention at the dead center of the image and i loose some of the photo's dynamic potential.

Yellowstone Night

Nice scene. I wish the foreground and background lighting levels were a little more balanced, as I find the background more interesting. Especially that mountain on the far left. That square thing lying in the foreground center seems out of place.

Flood Tide at Twilight

hey Bear...i like this better than your ribbon winner, probably because of it's softer feel with the rustling reeds and more muted tones. Unfortunately, my liking could spell trouble for you in the voting...i hope not.

Early morning shadows.

i'm starting to see the beginning of the tree shadows right by the sun and i'm left wondering if something prevented you from just capturing the base of the trees with the sun a few degrees higher. I bet that would have been a very interesting image and been more in line with what i believe voters are looking for.
