Hunting

Very nice picture but of poor quality. My guess is that the original is very black (maybe 3 to 4 stops underexposed) and you adjusted it so much that it's visible that you did. Sharpening at this point is, like people commented, a bad idea. The shot should have been made with the shutter open longer than you used now. By doing so it would have qualified better for the challenge (wich is shutter speed).

Would be nice to see wich shutter speed you used on this (considering it is the shutter speed competition).

You got a good rating just because the picture in itself is gorgeous, my compliments on that!

Indeed deserved higher, I think this shot is excellent! There's a lot to be read from the person in the back like he doesn't like the rain! (maybe even boredom due to a rainy day?). Keep up the good work!

spectacular! the timeframe could be shorter though, this makes the car unsharp and the water 'funny'

Rain Don't Get Any Hotter Than This!

Added points for:
- excellent use of available models
- making the model wet
- figuring out how to pose

Demoted points for:
- the lack of an interesting environment (like a farm, farmland or perhaps a forest)
- not having a female model when showing wet tshirts (kidding here)

Parking A Maserati In The Ancient Centre Of Rome And Go Shopping!

nice positioning on the car, but a high heel and a shopping bag would do very good in this shot.. the buildings don't help much in this way, and to my opinion they are way to much desaturated.. rated 8
