Wow! Kudo's to the guy standing on that rocky point!!! Needs a belt to hold them shorts up. ;^)

Nice capture overall, and I really like the fact that there isn't any major post-processing trickery going on here (if there is, you've fooled me!).

Good luck in the challenge.

Great shot. Very nice tone and texture and you've gotten an appropriate message across without being tricky with it. Well done.

Did you pull something off that right shutter (lower left)? The wood is weathered most everywhere else but there. ;^)

I think you did a wonderful job with this image AND you didn't have to resort to special post-processing tricks to get the point across. Now how did you do this without disturbing the duck in the background? ;^) Good luck in the challenge.

I really like the glow that this image has. What did you use to get this effect?

Is this color effect from using a filter or is from post-processing? Just curious. You've picked a good image to apply this effect to, I could see other hues used as well (blue, sepia), even B/W might work.

Good eye to see this shot and a nice POV you've used to compose it.

DPC mushrooms 3.jpg

This image has some interesting lines. It's almost like the image is two parts with a cool background being made up of the green moss and the (wonderfully blurred by DOF) grey rock (it is a rock isn't it?) consisting of the "canvas", and then part 2 is the mushrooms. The mushrooms feel 3D-ish because they jump off of the "canvas".

Funny, I've NEVER used the word canvas to describe an image at DPC, and I'm coming up on 2 years now. Just feels right for this image. ;^)

Smile and keep having fun!!!

Nice job of working a nude into this challenge.

Rope is the theme for this challenge and in your image it's an afterthought, not really subject matter at all.

I'm sure you'll garner a high number of views with this, so in part you'll have succeeded in using nudity to sell your image.

Tension

Looks like a stock photo. That's not a bad thing. I could see this being used for subject matter as you've titled it 'Tension' or 'Stress', 'Breaking Point', etc... Good detail, nice choice of tonal color. Clean, simple background. Should do well with this. Good luck!

Boat on a Rope

I really like shallow DOF shots like this. You've put the focus where it counts and it's nice and sharp. The ground level view is what puts it all together from the viewing perspective. Adds interest and a unique POV. Nicely done!
