I really like the shadow, but (sorry) I'm not so crazy about the rotation of the image. The shadow is the best part, with those well-defined spokes and its general sharp, sharp form.

Wow! Gorgeous processing and scene. The wallpaper and jewelry really jump out at me and I love how everything except the skirt, bracelet, and mirror have a 2D feeling. Not only that, the lighting is just wonderful.

Congratulations on your 5th place, Robt! The golden light is stunning. I love the way the waterline makes a horizon - very clever composition!

This got an 8 from me, but should've been a 10. I love the empty space with the very subtle textures from the brick!

In Shambles

Heh, heh - I love it! What an expression ;-) Is that frustration after all those tries of getting the mirror to break? One thing I appreciate about your photography, Judy, is that you're very good at capturing just the essence of your subject without a bunch of superfluous distractions. I like the way you got your face just to the side of the center of the crack. Cooliedoolie!

I enjoy the colors and textures of this, Gugi. Surprised (and disappointed) to see the score under 5. You captured the way it feels to touch - I like it!

Wow!! Did you go there again this year or are these from last year's vacation? Just look at that light! What an amazing landscape.

Bits & Pieces

Hey Deannda - I like the dof in this and the clarity of the pieces in the foreground. For me, the only thing I can suggest in a possible variation is that the white piece with blue edge way in the back might be a tad distracting, since the lines of the heap leads my eye directly back there. But maybe it's best there - what do I know ;-) Nice effort from a fellow stormer!

What a peaceful spot - and so wonderfully captured, Sandy. I can very well imagine sitting there, with the smell of clean air at high altitute. The symmetry is stunning.
