Exposed to the elements

John White, this your shot? Looks identical to your username entry and frankly it really detracts from the viewing experience of this photo, if it is indeed yours at least you could have put a little bit of a twist to it or something, like taking it at night or in the opposite direction of this beach or from a lower vantage point. Sorry but EXACT repetition doesn´t sit well with me.

Still a nice shot so I didn´t vote it down too much I hope :)

Well sorry but whatever you did to this image, it doesn´t appeal to me, gave it a 4. Just the lack of detail and sharpness and a strong focus point mainly.

I love this idea but I feel that the lighting is so obviously another on the boy than on the backround. Had you had similar lighting on him (not very hard to duplicate if you look at the shadows of the moon truck and astronaut) and coloring this would have gotten a full point or two better from me so keep at this :) 6

I like this shot, the editing reminds me of some very early photography, imperfect but yet so charming, you know? 7

Well landscapes are usually composed in landscape orientation for a reason, they are so much harder to do in portrait orientation and I feel this is a perfect example as the foreground and backround aren´t all that interesting, I would much rather have wanted to see the right and left side of this photo. Hardly a disaster though but I voted a 5 wich means average for me.

Well I like the idea, it´s just not a very great photograph in the sense I don´t find it very visually appealing, lacking that "wow" factor, it more seems to me like a snapshot. Also, some strong color artefacting, especially in the blue laquer on the car and the red ares too. Thus I only voted a 4.

Not bad but I think this would have benefited from having less middle ground, that is if you had gotten down lower. 6 from me.

Well shot is not bad but not really good either. Like the coloring, dislike the trees in the lower right corner. 5 from me.

Congrats mate, that means you are currently in 1st place for ribbons this year but don´t get to comfortable, as fences and centered composition are the last two challenges posted in 2006 that are still open I plan to get a ribbon in one of them and dethrone you!!!

Congrat´s you, you, you big Shannon you!
