This is such a beautiful shot, Bob. I like the motion very much and the green on her shirt really puts the viewer's eye right on her - I bet you're proud of her and she of you (great photographer dad and all that)!

OLD LOCK.
by CONRAD

Comment:
I like the simple colors - this is what I would call an honest picture (I don't know why - sounds silly when I type it :-) I think the centering is a bit much, though - would love to see a bit more space on the right or left side. Very sharp in a good way!

Springhouse Window

Comment:
Wish it didn't have the brown border. I hate it when people comment on borders because it's such a personal thing, but in this case, it does draw my eye away from the picture, so I feel it's worth mentioning. Otherwise, the concept with the window is pretty good.

Derelict

Ooooh, I like this one! The broken windows and that old structure (silo?) in the background are so interesting. I also like the way you've put an uneven amount of the wall space on either side. Too bad that power line pole is in the background, though - but I guess it would've been a bit much to move for a stupid challenge, eh? :-)

Antique Bulb and Lamp
by Kathyc

Comment:
Even though both objects, the background and the lamp, are attractive in their own way, there's too much distraction because both are ornate - especially the background. I think this is a beautiful lamp and would love to see it presented in a more straight way and with a plain background.

Used to be fresh

Still looks pretty fresh to me, especially if you give it a good crop at the bottom :-) This image doesn't hold my interest in anyway, I'm afraid to say.

Dun Cow Lane

Very nice. I bet it was a tough decision between color and b&w, because it looks like this probably is quite colorful as well. You've done a great job with the b&w, though. I like the lines leading up towards center left.

Old Fish Shack

I'd love to see this in black and white. The textures and lines are really interesting, with the wood and the stones in the background.

Nice with the spotlight! This looks like a stock shot - the shadow adds interest. (hey, and aren't these complementary colors, too?!) Good job.

Forever 7:29

What a beautiful cloth this is! I think the watch definitely says "something old", but I do feel the image is too busy due to the fact that both the watch and the cloth are relatively ornate.
