A classic portrait. I love the warmth of the natural light you used to illuminate this shot. However, on my monitor (which is calbrated) the glow around her mouth and cheeks is a little too much. If you added saturation or glow in PP then I think you went a little too far. If not, then I think you need to check your camera settings. :) Still, it's a great shot, and in my top tier for this competitive challenge.

I appreciate the feel and style of photograph that you were going for here. Though I imagine it's not going over very well with the DPC croud I like it. Good job.

An Icelandic Landform

It's very pretty and I love the soft glow on the horse. But (isn't there always a but!?!) I think you went a little too far on darkening the surroundings. I would have preferred a little bit to peek through, just to give the horse a sense of grounding and placement. Still a great shot.

Awesome high contrast black and white. Stunning.

Farewell 2005 (2005 written in the mountain)
by nonni

Comment:
The street scene reflected in the water is stunning, but the 2005 and the trail of lights is so small that it doesn't really add to the frame, and instead it distracts from the shot. I would have concentrated on the pretty street scene and composed out the 2005.

I like the vignetting, but I think it should have been applied evenly to all four corners. It's still a great portrait. Love the high-key bright white.

I know its suppose to be a sunrise, but I still wish for a little more exposure on the boat and the grasses in the foreground.
