Solitude

I thought there would be more Solitude pictures as it seems an easy thing to do. This is well done. Some techincal stuff kept it from a top score, but I gave it an 8. The sky has issues as well as the blown highlight on the lake. The duotone works.

Nice creativity. It seems like bananas and desk lamps have the most personality among inanimate objects. The picture has some technical problems which keep it from a higher score (gave it an 8). The dead banana is OOF which I think detracts as it is such a major subject. It also has blown highlights. Otherwise, well done.

Nice picture. Maybe a little overexposed? Would have like to see richer tones in the grass. The challenge is met well. I'm ignoring the whole "does a plant qualify as inanimate" debate and just allowing it on all pictures. 8

Aw, I would have given this a 10 for such excellent use of personification (without it being "human-looking"), but the picture has some technical issues. I don't like the blow out highlight and the amount of color noise. Still, an 8 because I like the creativity.

I like the colors and the title fits well with the picture. The challenge is met so much better than 90% of the other entries. 9

It captures a face, but doesn't capture a characteristic or feeling.

I get the idea, but the picture is too dark. Loses points more on techincals than on challenge qualification.

Yes! I love it! This is my ribbon winner. I hate to say it, but I did a desk lamp entry as well and I think your's is superior. The entries have been low quality, so even though I'm only 1/3rd way thorugh, I bet this may be my only 10.

It captures a face, but doesn't capture a characteristic or feeling. Nice pic though with the blue. I'll bump it a bit for that. 5
