Dashing Through the Snow

I love this! What a cool, ghost-like sight that is with the person perfectly framed on the bridge. Hope this does well. It's very nice (meaning I have no constructive criticism for you :-)

Ha, this makes me smile! Really cute setup. Hope the dog didn't have to wait very long. Look at those back legs all ready to spring!

Sea Legs, AARrr

The title is the best part! It's got me laughing pretty hard, haarrr. Other than the title, I have to say the legs themselves aren't speaking to me :-) I'm sorry, but even though I think the technicals are good here, and also think the wood on the right is very beautiful, it feels like I'm not able to find anything here to sit back and reflect on, get angry, happy, sad, or anything else over. I wonder if I might feel differently if the left branch were a bit sharper. Anyway, I do like the peaceful and slightly blurred water surface in the background (plus that branch on the right).

WOW, I like this one much better than the postcard shot (but that one's nice, too :-). Congratulations on two really great challenge entries and high scores! This is really nice the way the composition emphasizes the curves of the pillars. Way to go!

Great shot, G. The blues in the sea and sky make the colorful lights that outline the bath house stand out beautifully. This is one of my favorites of yours. Gurry's comment below made me realize how sad I will be to miss the lady with the glasses on your front page. But this is a great addition to that page!

Oops, editing because of course the glasses can remain as your profile picture :-)

I like this one best of the two. Yawning is such hard work ;-) I think I like it best because of the expression and also those two sharp chompers. Not sure I'd want to be the one to wake up this kitty.

From a Modern Tourist's Perspective

Very pretty lighting... so golden! I would love to visit Jordan someday. You've shown me such a beautiful place. Might be nice to see the boy in front of one of the pillars so he stands out a little more, but I'm really glad he's in the photo. He adds a lot of interest to an already super interesting spot. The exposure is perfect.

I'm usually not crazy about added grain, but here it works really well. I love your pose here! The comments below saying that this could be straight out of a Sears catalog are spot on. The curtain behind you is just perfect. Good job, teammate!

Jumping Into The Shower

What's this doing way back here?! I gave you an 8, which is quite a bit higher than my average vote. I think you met the challenge perfectly and the subject angle gives a nice dynamic feel to the image. I'm glad you got the comment about the halo - that's something I missed when I viewed this during voting, and maybe it explains the score a little. But overall, I think this is a cool shot. The water drops are strong and fun to look at - hope your camera was okay!

Ah, Ursula, I really liked this one. I didn't give it the top-top score, but a 6, even though I probably should've gone even higher. The thing that caused me to vote it lower than 7 or 8 is already covered by comments below, that being mainly the eyes (even though maybe the circles are part of the point!), and the not-so-subtle transition from the sharpness of the hand to the rest of the body. The thing I really, really liked is the concept that meets the challenge spot on. I also like the lighting on the hand - very striking! Anyway, good job on an image that scored much lower than I would've guessed.
