Oh this is outstandingly beautiful!!!!!

I love the off centre circles the dof is perfect and the contrast just to die for

You have taken some great shots in this challenge but this one tops them all. At the very least this could and should be a postcard on sale at the rotunda

I adore the real sense of depth there is to the image.

Absolute kudos for getting this picture

This is the beauty of this side challenge...Enter this shot in a competition and you would get some many dnmc's it would be very depressing, but in this format you can play with ideas

Excellent perspective and I love what is going on with the sky which provides a muted yet excellent backdrop for the dome

Lovely image

I love the perspective on this and the dof is just right (and displays a lovely sense of humour in terms of the writing). Excellent tones and contrast

Day 9 - Weathered Doors
by sherpet

Comment:
Definitely my favourite of the three. I love the strong horizontals and verticals with the anomaly of the single slat that has slipped. Really nice colouring as well, great contrast on the two centre shutters in themselves and then with the grey of the outer doors and the black at the top of the frame

Day 8 - Starlight

Ok again I would have to say that the focus is a tad odd and maybe because of this you have got a bit of blow out on the whites. I do like the ladder of leaves in the background which lead very nicely up the frame and have got some very nice tones and contrasts

Ha! A sign...I like signs. This is excellent, an interesting slant on something that thousands of people must pass each day without ever taking the time to consider. Like the composition, some nice weird angles. It might not do it for some people but it does for me

Afternoon

Woah, this is busy, but a nice capture of a whole range of expressions(Is it me or do they all look somehow slightly detached from each other? I like it, its a bit unnerving but it adds to the randomness

Cool perspectve Is the floor sloping?

As ever tones and contrast just right!

Wow I think I prefer this picture of Nina to the laughing one (which I really liked)

Lovely portrait and I love the sunlight on her hair, another natural smile and a face filled with beauty vivaciouness and care wonderfully captured

Debs, dont expect anything cogent fom me regarding processing!

Like the 'expression' on the dogs face, but having just seen your other waiting shot I cant say that this has got quite the same quality about it that makes me want to sit and look at it in real detail

(Damn that reads harsh....Its not meant to be...Think I was just saying I liked your other one so much that this suffers a sidgeon in comparisson
