Dark Day

I guess I'm lost here from the beginning with the subject. It doesn't hold my interest. On my monitor, which I routinely calibrate, I can see exactly three colors: Black, White; and a mid tone. These don't allow for any texture (except in silhouette) which would hold my interest. Sorry, it's just an opinion. Hope others comment to give you a broader view.

What burns your flame

On my monitor which I routinely calibrate, I can see none of the detail that would make this a spectacular capture. The flame is blown out and the dark areas have lost all detail. IMO greater subtlty with exposure and/or post processing would have helped. I'm not very good at this so it's just an opinion but it doesn't light my fire.

Nicely captured abstract pattern. Good job on the focus and DOF. Colors make my teeth hurt.

I've probably spent more time looking at this photo than any other so far. It is an interesting image, a bit disconcerting. I can imagine a number of magazines that would publish it for a variety of purposes. In the DPC forum, it is a bit risky and I would be surprised if it scores well. But I like the fhat you're willing to take risks. Good job.

This doesn't hold my interest. The idea is good, but I would score it higher if I could see more of the context of the shot and if it were all in sharp focus. That may not have been your intent, but it's my opinion.

Green eyes

Nice snapshot of the youngster. I like the shape of the fabric pattern and the placement of head and eyes in the frame. Flash seems a bit harsh and the shadows it creates are a bit distracting. If it were me, I'd try shooting with ambient light and see if it softens the harshness. Just my opinion.

Nice subject. Nice high key capture. There are some distracting artifacts along her left side (right side from our view point). Also there's a pretty harsh line along her leg that looks like a shadow from something supporting her. These spoil an otherwise worthy entry IMO.

Nice abstract colors. Interesting DOF. But inthe end, the subject doesn't hold my interest.

Sorry, just not enough here to hold my interest.
