Deranged DPC Photographer on the Loose

Deranged DPC Photographer on the Loose

Hi --

This picture has some eerie effect to it. I like it! Very original.

Framing was great also.

A great attempt on being a stand out from the crowd.

This reminds me a a television intro used around 10 years ago. I was always intrigued on how they produced this effect.

Great work --

Sandy

Wow, a pretty amazing photo. I do like the background color and the different perspective for the side (I hope) instead of head on. For these critters, you did a great job (but I still hate bugs).

Regards,

Sandy

Hi vjoz --

I am responstible for CC critique this week on your photo.

Photo -- the camera

I like what is done with the slower ISO speed. The photo has been is really sharp and defined. I am guessing that because of this the moisture on the man hole cover appears glossy. What a wonderful effect.

Photo -- post camera work

This is where I am not quite sure what you have done, but I do like the overall effect. Pushing the color levels strongly to the blue. Great job on colors here.

Compostion

I like the simple approach you have taken. It is a sure winner. This is proven by your higher score. The only reason that you didn't get a ribbon this will was because you chose a natural composion as appposed to arranging items in front of the camera.

In general, I prefer your approach to this competition. You only are a week or so away from getting a ribbon.

Good luck in your next challenge.

Fresh Air Vent?!

Fresh Air Vent?!
by Mona

Comment:
Hi Mona --

A great picture. I can see why it did so well.

Technical -- the camera.

This macro shot is really good and close. I can see those fibers of dirt clinging to the iron grate. I also like that we can see a hint of what is there beyond the grate, but it is mystified by the dof which leaves us to our imagination.

Technical -- post processing.

I think that you have done a great job of cropping this photo and keeps with the sqauare theme well.

Compostion.

You have so well fulfilled the challenge theme this week. It's amazing what you have come up with so close at hand. I'm glad this isn't my "clean air vent".

Congrats on doing such a great job. The clean and simple approach works well on this site.

Three Square Meals a Day

Hey CJ --

Err, I was running late.

Wow, what a great picture. It will be a real pleasure to critique this picture.

Technical - camera.

I can't fault you there. Your skills are great. Color is good. The range of colors that you are showing here is wonderful. The focus is good.

Tehcnical - post processing

The colors of food is very hard to get right. You have come very close. Definitely much better than most restaurants who dare to put pictures of their food in the menus.

Composition

I really do like this arangement.

All the work that obviously went into this picture. I looked all over for these square dishes and couldn't find them. Good for you.

I think that it would have been voted higher if you had taken this picture from directly above looking down. It would have lent strength the square arrangement and it would have given more impact upon the voting public.

Once again what a pleasure to critique your photo.

Hey Autool --

Wow, you even looked up the verse. Real work. Of course, that makes more personal. It's such a shame that we can't add comments for judging, it makes a big difference to me. I'm thinking that because the title of your photograph is so simple, it passed by a lot of people's heads that there actually was a song called, "The Rose".

This is such a wonderful picture. There isn't much needed to go from 5th to First.

Technically this picture is good. I only have two comments here. There is one pixel that seems out of place in the lower left corner just below where the bottom thorn. A minute white spot.

Secondly, the picture seems a little soft around the edges especially where the rose comes in contact with the background.

Composion.

Great work here. No way would I be able to suggest anything different than what you have done.

I would think that there would be some value to doing a whole personal study of roses with differnt vases, backgrounds, rose colors and rose types. My first take on this was that I wanted to try a rose with a cut lead crystal vase.

Color My World (Chicago)2nd Place

Gracious --

What a great idea. This very well deserves a high ranking on the challenge.

Big question -- Is that a multi-colored slinky that you used?

Color is absolutely great. The only thing that I would disagree on is the backlighting. I'm not sure on the reddish cast.

This is one picture that didn't need to follow the rule of thirds!

I could gush, and go on and on about what this picture has. I love it so much, I am making it one of my favorites.

Congrats on your placing in this week's challenge. It was so well deserved.

I voted you a 5 on this picture. I think that the composition is good. The color needs a little more saturation to really stand out and the contrast just isn't getting my interest.

I think that this was a great first effort by you though.

Good luck at DPC.

Actually I voted this picture a 6. I like it. Focus was great. Composition was good. It looked like a professional truck ad to me.

Maybe turn up the color contrast a little bit more as it seems a little lifeless.

Good effort.

Comment:
I really like this picture. I see that you made the biker going into the photo instead of away. That's important to me. I'm also liking the fact that I see the gentle rolling of the road.

I also see that you mentioned that this picture was taken on a overcast day. That made me vote your original down a little (to a 6) without that knowledge.

Overall, I would consider this picture an above average effort.

Good work.
