Just plain boring....sorry. The picture is busy, it don't match the challenge, and the colors are all neutral and very unorganized. GL.

Bank branch...

This picture just seems to bland. Nothing very eye catching, and even if so a bank is in itself pretty boring. It may also have people running away subliminally. Banks strike all those negative feelings of debt, power, and social demise. To me anyway. GL

Branching out

The sky is hazy, and dull, and the picture is overall boring. There is really nothing here that appeals to me except the contrasting yellow against the upper blue part of the sky.

Owe my, beautiful colors, and great portrait. You have quite a bit of pixel explosion going on by my monitor, but I know from experience that happens with the re-sizing most of the time so Im not counting that against you. GL, and by the way your model here is stunning.
-I just went back to adjust my final scores, and this is my top rated photo aside one other, so GL. I have looked at this photo over and over, and can't put my finger on what it is you have nailed here that nobody else has. The model is stunning, I love her playful expression. The colors are dynamite, the lighting is awesome. The clarity, and depth are good, but there is just something else that really sends it over the top for me. Maybe its the non-border, and the portraiture part of it. There wasn't many portraits out there, so maybe thats what seperates it. At any rate....Im a huge fan of whatever it is you have done.

A fantastic shot, I don't want to take that from you. I may even consider buying a print if it was available, and I could secure the funds. OK, now having said that, it does not seem to branch to me. I read the title and I understand where your coming from, but to give this an incredible score I would be taking away from the people that busted their but to get a good "branch" photo. Still in the better half of the challenge. GL.

I had to come back to comment on this one. Incredible photo, absolutely gorgeous. Im not sure that it fits the challenge as well as it was taken, but with the title I will give it the benefit of the doubt. Very well taken. GL.

When I looked at this photo I wondered what it would look like in B and W. I don't know that it would make it better, but I just wondered. GJ, and GL.

Captivating. Photos like this one fill my heart with faith, and love. There is nothing here I could possibly find faulty. However it would be disappointing to hear that you didn't set the camera down and absorb the moment for all of us who can't. Great Job, and TY for entering.
