Balance

Good idea but for me this gives off more a feeling that they are up in the air rather than standing balanced. This image desperatly needs a shadow that starts from the tip of the lower tack to give off the feeling that the bottom one is standing and the other one balanced up on it, at least IMHO.

Lol! Good idea and funny but the tacks are too small for this to work 100% IMHO. If you would have had this exact image with a couple of more tacks that were closer and therefore bigger it would really have hit the spot for me but I still like this very much, way better than most in the challenge so I gave it an 7, mostly because of your imagination.

Pretty cool idea but the colour seems a bit warm and while I normally love short DOF is way too short for this image to work properly IMHO. At least my eye is drawn towards the front tacks instead of the blue cloud mainly because of the lack of DOF. Anyway, good effort and better than most in the challenge but I can´t rate this more than 6 due to the technical aspects of this photo.

I like the framing in this shot also while this is one of many selective desat shots but one of the few that works, I like it and gave it an 8.

Framed a little bit too tightly towards the top for my taste but otherwise very good, like the tonal depth in this shot.

Congratulations on your best result on DPC so far. Could have easily been in the top three but it was a VERY tough competition. Anyway, a great Aurora shot but like you yourself said, needs a better foreground but otherwise flawless.

I haven´t seen many shots like this before, I both love it and hate it and it´s very wierd for me because normally I only feel one of those feelings towards a shot and normally neither as most shots I see on this site just seem to cruise in between.

The chain linked fence really irritates me and I keep trying to look past it at what´s beyond it but I can´t but at the same time if the chain linked fence wasn´t there this shot wouldn´t work at all so I can´t explain it. Let´s just say that I love to hate this shot and I mean that in the best way, it´s awesome!

Edit: I have come back too it three times now and it really strikes me more and more each time I see it. I love the monotone blue in it and the shape behind it and the post processing is awesome. I gave it a 10 and just added it to my favorites. Hope yo do well in this challenge.

Awesome! I had a similar idea while I was cooking during the week but I didn´t try to execute the idea but I am sure it wouldn´t have looked half as good as this so I am glad I didn´t have the time to try this out. Anyway, I gave it a 9, hope you do well.

Cool idea and shot, I love shots with short DOF but in this case I can´t help but wonder if the shot wouldn´t have worked better if the focus had been on the front 2 m&m´s, the yellow and red one instead of the ones that are 5 rows back. Just to be clear I like this shot, I hope you do well.

Aweseome shot, I love the tones in it and it wasn´t hard to give this a 10. Hope you do well in the challenge.

Edit: I just finished voting and I felt compelled to come back and mention that this is the only 10 I gave this challenge and I just added it to my favorites. This is one of the best environmental portraits I have ever seen. Keep up the good work!
