Very funny shot, beautiful colors,and DOF. This is one of the few shots this week that both answers the challenge and would not need an explanation if you hung it on your wall. top ten

Prefect framaing was needed to pull off this shot and you nailed it. Strong conversion, and rich details. The title is one of the best this week.

Could have done equally well in the Freedom challenge. Gereat lighting, fine use of subtle colors and an eggcentric but well balanced composition. not wild about the border, but that is a personal taste issue. Should be near ribbon land.

Fun shot, and great work with the dodge stick on this, I am in awe of what you got out of this difficult lighting situation. I would have never thought you could get anything at all from this lighting, let alone anything this special. Thanks for showing me that I was wrong. Rich details everywhere ( except ther dress, but at least you got it white) This one should be the best of the album.

Physical and Abstract Balance

the winner. Nice job, all the details nailed down. i like the level of complexity, had you not used the symbolic backround, or the detailed base, the shot would have been well done, good touch of reflected color, tight focus, and nice, but the added levels which harmonize with the main subject make this my favorite of the challenge.

Since this is an advanced editing challenge, you could have brightened this up and still kept the brooding sky colors. othere than the darkness I love this shot, seems deeply odd but quite at ease, good focal depth and i like the centered composition.

I would have liked to see a bit more foreground instead of the cairn shooting into the frame. Other than that, nice focus and colors, interesting composition, well framed by thirds.

quietude

Comment:
Nice idea but the watch hurts the balance of left righ,t and the sense of balanced quietude. Outline of figure could be more crisp, but a good idea and a nice graphic solution.

Wave I seen this wisk before? Not as Mimsy this time. Great green, very evocative of the ceremonial mood. The sense of balance here is very asian, lacking classical helenistic bi-symmetrical axis so it may not score too well, but it sure is sweet. Not sure about the fuzzy little border though.

Good composition and focus, but I wish you had a blacker black and a whiter white on the B&W conversion.
