Titan's Toys

I like the light shining on that center rock and moss clump. Might be nice with a little more of the green brush in the top background, to reduce the tightness of the crop, but overall I think this is pretty nice, with good colors. Like the title, too.

Someone old

Comment:
This person is probably only about my age - you're calling me old! :-)

I like how you got the eyelashes so well defined, as well as the (beautiful) wrinkles, but I wish there was more oomph to the image. Maybe if the whites of the eyes were whiter or the crop a little less severe at left? I dunno. But I do like the black tones.

Truck
by bobgaither

Comment:
Cool old California truck, but I wish the red wasn't so strong in the lights, because it keeps sucking my eyes away from the rest of the image. A bit less soft could work here, too. The tall grass in front of that wheel and wheel well would even make a nice image by themselves.

Cottage For Sale

Very pretty. It feels like an image that would be in a story book. Looks almost like a face in the lower right window, behind a bottle. I'm so glad you chose to frame with the fence at the bottom and I love the processing.

The Gymnast

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
by bumpus

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
by Jutilda

Comment:
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
by Lilhoop

Comment:
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.
