Hmmmmm... this image has one of those Jason-like titles. ;) Beautifully captured Superstition landscape. The lone cactus is perfect, though I'd consider a ROT positioning and/or crop for it.

Nice the way Bush had another Washington Monument built just for this picture - Nowadays he'll do anything for a better performance rating. LOL!!!

To bad about the .jpg artifacting around the dome... otherwise a very fine image.

Absolutely wonderful sky. Orion shows nicely. Now all you need is something more for added foreground interest. :(

Sydney gets a lot of coverage at DPC. It should. It is a beautful photogenic city.

Ahhh.. the Inner Harbor... probably the only safe place in Baltimore to take a picture at night. LOL!! ;) Nice view.

Mystery at Midnight

Positives:
Composition strong with this image. Great star patterns around the lights. Interesting and brave choice to use BW over color for a night shot. Works well.

Technicals:
Star patterns excellent, general overall image quality good. Sharpness fine. Whether true or not, looks like noise reduction might have been slightly overdone. Good overall tonality, exposure and lighting. Might be slightly oversharpened on some monitors.

The Challenge:
Meets the challenge well and brave choice for a night shot.

Suggestions:
Unsure how do do this, but suggest you do something to bring out a little more detail in some of the smoothed areas in the water reflections to reduce 'neatimage' effect.

One of the most interesting and provocative submissions. Pure studio nudes wouldn't normally come to mind as a subject for contre-jour but you pulled it off in a most fascinating and appropriate way. There probably will be a few, not many, voters that feel studio shots cannot be contre-jour but the quality of your image will carry the day. Your model is attractive, you flattered her in composition, particularly with her facial lighting. BW is good and tones are excellent. Sharpness is just right. Great job!
