An Evening by the Pool

Though I really like the colours this is a little too processed for my taste - everything is much too "soft" for me. Compositionally I would lose the right hand side to leave a very strongly framed image. Otherwise it is very well thought out with the plants in the foreground balancing the image out very nicely.

My Dream of Childhood

Superb capture.
Amazing how we spend our childhood playing with these things, then all these years laters find ourselves "playing" with them again by pointing a camera at them.
The blown highlights and slightly muted colours create a mood in this photo which is missing from most. The girl's expression tops it all off nicely.

Nightmare: Savage Ducks

Without the hand I think I would have really liked this shot, but the hand and the very rough editing on & around it just keeps drawing my attention.

Breathing Under Water

Excellent idea and well executed. The hand seems very wide for some reason, probably due to the perspective I can't see in the silhouette. Nice lighting, nice bubbles and a great colour.

Deja Vu du Lys

Oh yeah.
Bet I'm not the first to post a 'candles' comment by saying it looks like a set of candles : )
Painted light? A beautiful job however it was done. Less keen on the flower in the bottom right - maybe even better without it? The other two are absolutely spot on though.

My dream

You have strange dreams! : )

Good sharp shot with some very nice detail especially around the eye, and good strong colour. Too central composition wise though - a square crop of just the right hand side would suit this great I think.

I Dreamed DPC:ers Were Flower Lovers

I know from experience how difficult it is to find a nice arrangement and isolate these types of very small flowers, so well done on that score. These are beautiful. The good use of tight DoF and a great composition make the shot. Top stuff.

I see her in my dreams...

A decent portrait. Lighting is very nice, though maybe a *little* too dark on the near side of the face. Composition is mostly good apart from the bright area in the top corner which is a distraction.
I do like the candid look and the relaxed/open mouth. Good stuff.

I dreamed ... every living thing on the planet died and all I had to eat was sand

Don't like the title ... so I'll just ignore it : )
Technically very well executed, and quite an interesting shot. The colour variation in the sand that's been thrown up is intuiging in itself. I'm seeing a strange squiggle in the sky behind the man though, and a speck of sensor dust which should be cloned out.
Overall, a "where on earth did this idea come from?" shot (a good thing) with good strong shapes and colours.

Hero...or...Nightmare

First thought ... it's tilted.
Seems like a well focused, well exposed image, but the colour treatment is very harsh. Obviously done to create a dreamlike impression, but a bit too "fake" for my tastes. I can't help thinking that a simple black & white or sepia treatment would have worked much better.
Hope somebody managed to save her at the last second : )
