Nice shot! Sharp, well exposed, well composed, and the cone totally makes this shot for me (Solo2 junkie in winter withdrawl). Number is fitting!

Pretty cool shot! Stands out in this challenge. The only thing I'm not keen on is the light bit in the dark area just below the front tire.

Bombay Sapphire

Thanks Cindi. I was aware of that before I submitted, but I didn't find it particularly displeasing. I suspect you are right though, that is mainly what held it back. I guess that's what I get for starting to shoot at 10:30 on Sunday night...

Cool! I took some window cleaner shots back in November when I first got my new camera.


I like yours better though, with the light and shadow and all.

Returning from the hunt

I didn't really care for the out of focus wood in the foreground. I'd also like to see more detail, maybe with a closer crop (though maybe this is okay in a larger size than 640 px), although I do like the inclusion of the ducks.

I have only voted on 38% so far, but I'd be very surprised if this wasn't my choice for the blue...

The toy is a little distracting, but otherwise an excellent shot.

Isolated

Shit! I just wrote a bloody long comment here, and the damned thing timed out on me and I lost it. I will attempt to recreate it...
I could argue about the 'isolated' bit, but then, I know the context... Trying hard to think of it out of context, yeah I guess it fits the bill. The upper portion of the image adds nothing, and I'm not very fond of the fence. If I scroll down such that the left-most bit of fence is just about to the top (and the other section just about out of the frame) I think it's a little better. I'm having a little trouble with the detail. I'm not sure if it's a focus issue, a sharpening issue, or a simple matter of the resizing (it is a lot of detail to try to cram into 640px). The rocks look good, but there are bits of the houses that look a little soft, and bits that look a little jagged around the edges. Maybe I'm just looking too closely. In that sense, it might be better to zoom in a little closer so that I can clearly see some of the detail I want to see, or maybe out further so that I'm not as tempted by tantalizing detail that I know should be there. Okay, I'm done criticizing--it is a nice shot! I'd love to see it tomorrow under all that snow (have hardly seen a bloody flake in ON since Christmas).

Cayote (Not Ugly)

DOF seems a little shallow, which might be okay if the focus was on the eye/face, but it seems to be on the chest/front leg. Really, I think stopping down a bit would be best--it's not as if there are distracting elements in the foreground or background that it would be best to blur out. That said, I can appreciate that you may not have had much time to get the shot!

THE BIRDS!

I really like the idea, but the UDO (unidentified distracting object) in the corner really takes away from it. I'm not normally one to complain much about noise (I'd rather see a little noise than have something neat imaged to death), but the noise in the sky is quite noticeable even from a distance.
