Field and trees

My first challenge entry here was this kind of shot, from in Bavaria near Augsburg. It really makes me think of Germany when I see these shots (even when they're from Idaho or elsewhere). I think the greyed out coloring here works well; this is what it looks like in real life, and it's nicely represented here.

Day 21.2 - Sailing in the spring

You're definitely cool, no doubt about it. And steering to me is sailing (shows how much I don't know). I like what you've done with this shot, it's really effective in conveying the feel of being out on the boat and really concentrating.

Day 22 Industry

Nice shot, wonderful job with the colors in this, and the washed out look of the factory itself -- white at one time, but not really white anymore. I love how much of the road you got into the shot, that it makes a nice diagonal line through the shot.

I'm thinking whiskey . . . :) Looks like a neat place to be, and quite colorful, with lots to look at!

Day 22 - Grange-over-Sands

When they're done well, I love far-away shots; I love this far-away shot :) I love the birds on the beach, too; that's a nice, sharp lens you've got there to get them so clearly on the edge. Thanks for the lesson, too, sounds like a nice place to visit.

That's a great shot; the water looks so cool flowing over the rocks into the pool below. The browns and tones are just perfect here. Nicely done!

Day 15 Morris Island Light House
by UNCLEBRO

Comment:
I really like the choices you made here with this shot; the movement in the water, the composition, and the lighting are all nice. The sky looks like it had some potential (especially with the white fluffy cloud hanging up there), but honestly I'm not good enough with skies to offer any real advice (I probably would have added a layer, selected the sky, clipped the rest out of that level, and played with levels/curves/color just for the sky, and then tried to blend it back in with the underlying image -- this sometimes leads to disastrous results that I then delete, though, so there must be a better way!).

Day 22 - Sambro Harbour

Great shot. I'm so jealous of anyone who knows how to catch those stupid sunrays coming through clouds! Nice composition and perfect exposure here for what you wanted to show us.

Cleaning Jack at Work :)
by SandyP

Comment:
I like this shot, especially the slight blur on Ol' Jack, showing him so hard at work even the camera couldn't stop him. The mist really adds to the whole feel of the photo. I'm not overly fond of the thick border, but it doesn't really detract from the shot.

The Old Bomb
by Retroesque

Comment:
The tones here really make the nostalgia of the shot come through; nicely composed, as well, especially with the open-ness of the Old Bomb.
