Going Up?

Would have maybe excluded the waterline from this shot, I like the colours though.

Pity you couldn't edit out those pesky dust specs. Nice and original take on the challenge.

Getting through

Well spotted shot! I would have maybe upped the aperture and exposed this for a little longer to try and get some 'soft water', but if you were handheld then I understand ;)

Very pretty scene, I think you could crop this better but I'm not sure how. I especially like the sky reflected by the water in the pipe. Great job.

Orange Attack

Lovely tones and interesting rhthym created here. Nice idea but I'm not so sure about the border. Might lessen the visual impace somewhat but I'm not too fussed about it. Nice to see someone put a little bit of effort into their entry :)

Perhaps a little oversaturated on the actual oranges, so much so that the detail on the lines seperating each segment is lost.

Good work, 8

Mind Circles

Brilliant concept. I love the solitary leading line and I would also LOVE to know how you got that background. Very appropriate model and I like how she's far smaller than the circle to emphasize said circle as the major element.

Nice work, a 10 for sheer creativity and brilliant execution on a difficult topic.

Is this roadrunner? I recognize the umbrella from a shot on your website

Apologies to the photographer if I'm mistaken :)

Anyhow, this is a well composed shot, I like how you've made your subject dark and unidentifiable placing most of the attention on the umbrella. I just wish that it wasn't a barbie umbrella ;)

Technically faultless IMO, not much I would have changed here apart from the brand name umbrella.

An 8 from me and good luck with the challenge

Awesome shot, possibly would have gone with a shallower DOF if possible. Great rhythm created here and the tones are fantastic. I'm wondering what this would have looked like in colour? I can imagine it being absolutely incredbile in the right conditions, but pretty dull under the wrong ones.

Good luck for the challenge with your original and interesting entry.

Caltex? Where was this taken? South Africa?

Great idea for this challenge ;) I did something similar. Good luck!

Great idea, lovely abstract quality and beautiful colours. I'm assuming this effect was achieved in camera?

Great work, 8

So simple but wonderful. DOF isn't TOO shallow which is nice, and the image is nice and sharp. Would be a good entry for the circle challenge too, BTW!

I like the simplicity and the rhythm of this shot, not to mention the originality.

Great work, 9
