Sorry for getting to you late. Overall I thought this was average. I think a slightly wider crop on the right would have been nice. Her eyes seem a bit soft - its nice when they stand out. Selective saturation on her pupils could have helped bring them out some more. She has a nice expression and her skin tones are very nice. I guess overall the shot is a bit too soft for my liking. The background color seems to be a bit off as well - or just an odd color. The fact that you submitted a pic of your kid had nothing to do with my voting score - I seem to do it alot even though the DPC crowd tends not to vote those shots too high.

You scored just enough to help squeek you out of the middlin masses. I liked the composition overall. Areas that I thought could be better - The colors are nice but the overall look of the outside seems a bit dull, maybe even like a light haze. I think the colors could have popped out even more. Getting really picky now - you may have wanted to rotate the pic ever so slightly to have the frame square with the frame. Now all of this was me getting really really picky. I gave the shot a 6 overall. Thought it was a very nice shot.

The Old Barn and I

I gave you a 5 on this one. The barn itself looks cool - though I would have liked to have seen more detail in the shadows. That board that cuts across takes away from the lines that you have going behind it. Maybe taken at a different time of day so that the outside light isnt such a contrast to whats going on inside. My eyes are more immediately drawn to the grass and trees rather than the barn. And then there is you. I am indifferent on that. Not sure if it adds or takes away. As far as the challenge goes, you weren't necessary (outside of the fact that you had to take the picture - my attempt at humor). Overall the shot has a good feel but more detail and different lighting could have made it stand out more. (I didnt read the other comments first this time - I will try to do this more often - great idea again this club thing)

The Spring in time's ribs

The wall definitley looks old. But the postprocessing takes away from it unfortunately. The grass seems oversaturated and the trees take away from the detail in the wall. A close up shot of the wall I think would have fared better. Don't be discouraged - your shots and the votes will improve. (PS - In retrospective I agree with you on my teddy bear shot. You were the first to point it out and it all became clear then. ty)

Very cool shot and perspective. I wonder what a clear day with blue skies would have made this feel. Well done.

Very nice shot. One of my higher flower choices in the challenge. Great dof. The water droplets stand out well. Nice color blend on the rose. Well done.

Faded and Falling

Good shot overall. Personally I think a bit more color would have made it better. Also a wider crop - some more sky and background could help give more of a desolate feel. I scored you higher than your average.

In The Old Wine Press

Not a bad shot. Maybe just not enough of the press to give a person a good feel as to what he was looking at. I think you may have fared better had you included more of the press. Good colors and lighting. The sharpness overall is good as well. Just not a picture that draws in your attention.

Beautiful shot. Great colors and lines and a good neverending fell. I gave you a 7 on this one.
