The title here really matches the expression on the woman's face. Only fault I see is the belnding gets a little muddy around the back two frames. 6.

This image has so much potential. The fireworks are awesome. It is just hampered by that insanely crooked horizon. 6.

You have a great entry here. I am not too sure that anyone else has a large ship in their picture as the main subject. The processing fits the image well and you definately met the challenge. But I don't find it overly exciting. Because of that I am going to give it a 6.

This is a tough one to see. The second hand is very tough to make out. The first time I looked at the image I couldn't see it, or its motion. Perhaps a bit stronger presence would prevent that missed look.

I like the concept, I like what you have done. I just wish that the second hand stood out more. An extra point for being outside of the box, and for being creative on an image. 7

Swee.t I really like your take on the challenge. Only quip would be the noise on the left of the curled match, but I am sure in blending that this is tough to get rid of. I like that you chose a unique subject and made it work. Well done. 9.

Great action sequence here. You really nailed the challenge. Exposure is good. At first I didn't like the washed out sky, but then I saw how the red shirt contrasts against it and didn't mind it near as bad. Overall I great image that meets the challenge and deserves an 8.

I like the title and the composition. Overall I think that you met the challenge very well. Blending looks good. But the image looks a little soft, and the birds maybe a bit OOF. For that I am giving it a 6.

A Shoehorned Entry

I will give your title some credit.

I don't like the three frames here, and I remember that being a specific question that was asked in the rules announcement thread. For that I am dissapointed to see it in the image.

I will not vote on that though, as that is for the SC to determine.

As far as the image goes, I think you needed to show the shoe horn in the first frame. I am not really seeing a lot about this image that makes it pop. I am going to have to give it a 5.

I see the time lapse here, but I don't see it as a fluid motion like all of the discussion was about. I think you have a great idea here, I am just not sure it met the intention. I will not vote based on intention though, and instead will focus on the image because that is the fair thing to do.

Again, I like the idea. I think the colors could have been a little better though, especially contrtasted against the white. It looks like some flash residue is on some of the cubes and that washed the color out. I think a boost in contrast would probably fix the color problem that I see.

Overall I like what you have done, and intent aside, will give you a 6. Stronger colors would have gotten a 7.

I really hope that this image is not overlooked by most of the voters on DPC. I think you have done somethign wonderful here. The idea of a newspaper boat floating down a stream is just awesome. I could have never thought of something like that. I love the processing. I like the mood that it presents as almost a magical little stream where adults drema about their childhood.

Top shelf image here that is worht nothign short of a 10. I hope to see it on the front page and hope the other voters don't look past it to put it there.
