Sunset Jams

Lovely soft tone but I wish I could get more sound out of that guitar. The focus seems to be a very big piece of the sky. Meditative like the creative exercise of looking for inspiration in space before getting down to the business of music. I can see the music but I can't hear it.

I love shopping

No this is not a stuffed bird. It was retrieved injured in the wild and is now a teacher for enrironmental causes. All wild creatures are returned to nature if possible. I swear it was alive when we took the photo. This one is tame and can no longer survive on its own.

Oops, bad timing

I've seen this very picture on the canal waters near Ottawa a month ago. It was such a surprise at the time but now it looks much more common. They are so much more funny live. I enjoy the unusual pose. Typical move from anyone trying to avoid being photographed. I would have liked seing a head peeking at us. A triangle formation would have been interesting. A couple would have made a good pair but the four bird corner to corner design seems ordinairy. Good luck

In the Span of Sapphire

London bridge is not falling down on the dpchallenger extraordinaire of this sapphire shot. Colors, lines and framing first got my attention and I was thinking 10 and favorites list. Then I felt irritation with the star drops on the waters surface. The faint cables are reflective beauties and remind me of sails on a ship. Despite my better judgement I will give you a weak 10 for the art to heart vibration that the photo gives me. Thanks.

Wood meets metal neat idea. I just find the shapes and the reflection on the none wood items more interesting. A fancy antique starburst patern would have gotten you a 10 from this fellow guitarist. Having the instrument being played may have put life into your shot. Yours gets a 4 and the hope that music themes get put into future challenges soon. Thanks.

The Thunderbolt

White painted wood on light blue sky background does not stand out. The strong dark red rails do. People are having a great time except for the third row, the blue t-shirt in the fourth row and the second last lady at the top left row. I can`t figure out why the composition seems to be missing something. Small left triangle shape at lower left corner and huge vertical drop line across the middle send me off the page and downward. I would like a close-up on the faces or an angle from the falling seats. Great looking structure. 5 pointer cause I love coasters. Good luck.

Poloriser wowing blue color sky with great woody lines. A quick 9 vote. Would have scored much higher with less blue above and ground bellow and less centered... ok, ok... so I`m a terrible back seat photographer manabe. Good luck.

Wooden buckets
by raflima

Comment:
Odd that these wooden buckets seem more like clay pots. The painted surface or lack of visible wooden design would make me knock on to see if it is indeed wood. Lovely perspective. Very monochromatic type leaves me indifferent. Lettering and lighting my favorite part of photo. Top right shapes a slight distraction. High 5 vote.

Whakie weird wood neat but I would have a different background. Nice crisp clear image with little shadow does not pull me into the shot. Very ordinairy OK photo. 5 score.
