Perhaps if the tree wasn't in the way, I could buy the title. The second kite detracts as well. I wonder if this reflects use of proportion or is really a use of perspective. Cute idea--worth another try.

Pink to Red
by Hallie1

Comment:
There is limited detail in the red tulips. Perhaps a shallower depth of field and focus more on the flowers, less on the pine tree and grass. The idea of the pink to red ratio is interesting but technically I don't think you pulled it off.

Raindrops

Comment:
Lovely, rich color. Beautiful detail on the droplets. Nice texture. Good use of negative space. The only disappointment is the foreground leaf because it's in the center and out of focus, and because it hides some of those wonderful water drops.

Reflection Two

Comment:
Nice. I like the idea that the mirrored world can be in perfect proportion to the "real" one. By setting the division of these two at the mid-point of the photo you emphasize this equivalency. Sharp colors, nicely lit and composed. The smaller format makes it hard to really appreciate the details, though.

Simple and effective.

Filling the Dock: QM2 in New York
by cmberghout

Comment:
Interesting night shot. Very poster-like. I like the way that the boat not only fills the slip but is also brighter than the surronding buildings. It is this second aspect that I think speaks to the challenge topic. (If there were a small boat at the other dock the comparison hinted at in the title woudl come through.) Nice capture!

serendipitous water

Maybe I'm missing something here. The image seems to have been rotated 90 degrees to the right. The light is interesting and the play of line and color nice. Serendipitous? Not sure about that.

This reminds me of certain store signs (years ago) in the Cross County Mall in Yonkers, NY! I like the "S" for Serendipity, helps to have that connnection in this challenge I think.

Nice stop-action photo. I think cropping out the umpire (and the lady behind him) would have focused attention on the "moment" of the ball.

Not The Usual Prize
by Sammie

Comment:
Nice idea. Lots of diamonds in the challenge, but I like this almost-believable context. The lighting is harsh and perhaps a little overexposed. The composition is o.k. but I miss the paper wrapping that comes with the prize and feel the set-up of the box is just a little too unnatural.
