Wonder photograph and have to agree with you, the extraordinary reflection. Great job an a great example of HDRI. Man, you know how to take the picture and bring out the details. A well deserved ribbon with a score in the high 7's... Would of loved to have seen this hit an 8.

An abstract view of the challenge but very harsh on the contrast and shadows. Nice texture in some areas.

I love the color scheme in your photograph but I feel that the DOF is slightly shallow. The focus point seems to be on the cat's nose and I feel it would have been better on the eyes. The eyes seem slightly soft focused. The only other distraction, IMO, is the black open area on the top left. It splits the picture up.

Overall a nice picture but no wow factor. I would of scored it better if the eyes would of been sharper. As I said above I like the color scheme. I wish you well in this and future challenges. bump to six.

To all of us that have wondered at one point or another what the wow-factor is. See the picture above "WOW-Factor" from left to right - top to bottom. GREAT SHOT!

What can I say; absolutely brilliant! A very good and well composed shot and I love the crisp lines and colors surrounding the softness of the leg. (WOW factor). 10+

A very good flag photograph. Wind is depicted very well and I like the tight crop. Good luck in the challenge 7

Battling the Breeze

Good concept and technically nice but not convincing. You went to the extent to get an umbrella to look like it was wind blown but you didn't do anything to give us the illusion6 with your clothing [pants legs]. you could of stuffed them behind your legs with other material or eve a clothes hanger to make it look as if your pants was blowing in the wind as well.

Still a nice shot but would of scored higher it more convincing.
