Wanting to let go...

I'm not sure if it's just my monitor or this image but I wish the lower half of this drop had the contast and focus of the top half (perhaps a peice of black paper or dark clothing held just out of camera range could have given that dark streak and contrast, brining the entrapped bubbles to life). Nice framing and tonal balance.

The busy backround didn't help your image tell this story.

Beautiful shot. If it scores lower than you expect don't take it as a rip on this image, it will be because others like me didn't see the tie in to letting anything go here. Never the less I love the the play of the purple to tan to warm grey of the backround. I wish the tenacles in the foreground were a bit crisper.

I like the flower in the drop. However I think this is the seventeenth drop I have seen in this competition, and while yours is the best yet, it hurts the score to be in such a large group. I promise to revisit later and either bump this score or lower the scores of the other drops.

Good tone and DOF. Shame you couldn't get the other end of the drip.

Child versus Anole? Anole gives up!

Definitely the oddest entry. Aere any anoles harmed in the making of this picture? PETA hit teams want to know! Great colors, good call to light from the 3/4 mark. my only setup knock is shooting on the carpet; I think putting it all on a peice of plain paper would have made this shot even more David Lynch. Nice twisted work.

Chicago - Frozen

I think it is a lovely image and that if you pull the yellow out then the blue of the sodium is too strong. If anything you ought to run a mask on the area in front of the buildings and lower the saturation of the colors on the snow. By lightening their intensity without shifting their color you will increase the payoff of the lights in the distance.

I like this shot, the slight blurring gives it an energy;I like the blown out face leaving only the eye, but the mottled gold backround, being in the same tonal group as the eye lessens what would be a strong effect. If it were mine I would post process the backdrop down or out. Never the less this is a strong image, and you have a lovely model to shoot at which makes it so much easier to get an arresting image. Good

Best use of color in the competion.The frame with in a frame composition and the three dominant colors of the red purple green triptyic of the color wheel create a stillness that speaks of waiting for the end of winter (or waiting for a thorough cleaning of the garage ; ).
