I have a hard enough time taking my own picture when I'm sitting up straight! =) Great work, Cindi!

Thanks, Alice! I was pleased with the technical aspect of this photo, though it wasn't admittedly the most exciting.

A huge thanks to the 6, 7, 8, and 9 voters - I liked this shot a lot, and I'm glad you agreed.

Reflections of a City

Nice scenery, good eye, but technically it is there. I'm guessing this is a low end camera, or a small crop. Could use better levels (black should look lack, not grey), less JPEG compression, and flat horizon to start with.

Reflections Golden on a Pond

Looks oversaturated on my monitor, which also brings out chrominance noise.

Your Right, My Left.

Interesting take. This may have had more impact if the girl and her reflection were in focus using a smaller aperture. Nice framing/crop and natural vignette.

Hi Robert, welcome to DPC. So here's what I would say about this one. While it is a reflection (and a pretty sharp reflection, looking at others in this challenge), there's not really a wow factor. The tone is a bit flat, and there doesn't appear to be any interesting subject that my eye is drawn toward.

Don't be too discouraged, though. This was a difficult challenge in which to create something unique and fetching. Learn, and keep trying!

Cheers,
-Jeff

Great shot! Nice, crisp focus, great tone. The b/w and vignetting really help to minimize distraction and bring attention straight to the subject.
