This has a very "Americana" feel. I predict the value will increase over time. Nice job.

A Little Privacy

This is a really creative take on the spinning umbrella idea - really lends itself to wonder what's going on behind the umbrella! Unfortunately, the umbrella is a little too bright and saturated, I think. The real impact of the shot comes from the viewer peeking into a private moment, not the umbrella spinning. I also don't see the need for all the negative space on the right side of the frame, it adds nothing to the shot. A closer crop will increase the intimate feel of the shot, which I believe is what you were going for to begin with. Overall this is a great shot, so it gets a great score! :) Good luck in the challenge.

A run through Neat Image might have helped here, as I can see lots of digital noise on my monitor. Nice job not blowing out the moon, though. Good luck in the challenge.

Knife, Fork and......

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here and just assume that the exposure time on this was longer than normal. With that said, I'm sorry to say that this just isn't a very interesting shot to me. I don't understand the significance of the transparent spoon, I guess. Even if I did, this just isn't a really compelling composition or subject matter. The pink background isn't helping the cause much, either. Sorry to rip on your shot; I can only suggest reviewing the Knife, Fork, Spoon challenge for some ideas on composition should you decide to re-shoot. Good luck in the challenge.

Hi! You've got the bones of a great shot here. Unfortunately, the light sources appears to be blown out. I'd offer advice, but it happens to me all the time as well. :) I understand a larger f# will help on that. Regrettably, one of the palm fronds obscures the top of the architecture, a small adjustment in photographer position might have helped with that. Overall, a very nice shot. Good luck in the challenge!
