Bullshit. Why should every photograph exhibit colour fidelity? This is dusk. Dusk is evening. Evening is velvet. Velvet is this colour. I don't want to go over the top here, especially as Robert says it's a bit of a throw-away shot for him, but PLEASE have a look at a couple of Van Gough paintings ... do you imagine Vincent's colours and textures are high-fidelity?

Congratulations, Curt, on your highest rating image so far. I'm very pleased to see that several other commentators applauded your quirky but effective use of light in this photograph. I just took a look at your profile, and I love all of your top three entries; this was not a fluke! I encourage all other browsers to take a look as well.

That is one truly confused plant. Neither one thing nor the other.

Excellent image of the end less travelled of this elephant. The photograph is not quite technically immaculate (a shortcoming I actually like), but the texture is great and it's an original point-of-view. 7

Rugged To The Touch

Another nice image featuring this very good model; she swaps her chains for bricks! It was an inspired idea to have her feeling the texture of bricks like this, especially with such a captivated expression on her face... it makes your texture image into something special. You don't just show the texture, you show us what it feels like. That's two very fine & creative challenge interpretations in a row! 8

USS Wisconsin, I think? Nice tribute to a grand old warrior who knows a bit about the value and the cost of Independence. 7

Appealing composition ... sparse and stylish. Very nice effect of the water-saturated sand through the midground. It's one of those uncommon images that evokes non-visual sensations for me; sounds and smells. Good job. 8
