I like this version much better. The contrast adds to the photo, creating a much more interesting background. Border helps too.

Seeking One's Muse

I find that the storefront title and the photographer work really well together. Either it was coincidence that she was there in front of the store for you, or you were staking it out for hours, waiting for the right opportunity. Nice photo overall. The colours and sharpness were enhanced nicely, and this might also look nice in black and white.

Pink Bokeh

My absolute favourite in this challenge. If I were to try to explain what bokeh is to someone else, who doesnt know the term, this photo would be what I choose to show them as a perfect example. I expect to see this on the front page next tuesday.

Such a stunning photo, just wish I could see it larger. I like the crop you chose, but perhaps a different crop would have allowed the image to be larger, and might have given you a higher score. 8 from me.

Subtle Changes: Day to Night

I was only able to see the differences in makeup after having read the title. The black and white conversion took away from the colour, and also from conveying the before and after.

to be honest, i like the editing that you did for the entered photo. The new processing looks a little over done to me. Shame you didnt do better in the challenge though.

After reading your description, it got me curious.... have you ever had any of your pictures features on APOD (Astronomy Picture of the Day)? I have that site as my homepage, and use it for my classes quite often (I am a science teacher).

I think your photos are always under-appreciated. Your astrophotos are always of the top quality. I am assuming, of course, that you are jlanoue. If you are not, take this as a compliment. 9 from me.

One of the more creative and unique shots in this challenge. The DOF is a little shallow for me, but I still think this is great overall. 9 from me.
