hands

Great I love the evolution of this image from yesterdays.

For me this works much much better. The tighter crop on the face together with the fact that you can see all three hands clearly makes for a much nicer image and you have done this without losing out on any of the key elements of the previous shot

Lovely

House of Sand and Fog

I think it is fantastic that people are using the challenge to get out of their safety zone. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt, in this instance it most definitely gets a huge YES from me

Great repetitive image of the fencing which is complemented by the double shot of breakwaters

Good fog capture (I always struggle on this)

Stands well as it is but I might also like to see another version where you dont see the house and the fencing goes on to the vanishing point (on this shot you can just make out a small black rectangular object in the far distance)

Splendid isolation

DAY 4. B&W. car interior with a difference.

I like this, great job turning something that is essentially ugly into something that is so visually appealling

Appreciate that there was a lot of pp going on here, but it was totally worth it. In terms of this challenge I always try to provide some (no matter how minor) point where I think a tweak could be made, but I really cant with this shot

Debs...Blimey you come in late and then blow us away with an image like this...clear off we dont need your sort here ;-)

What a fantastic image, for me one of your best. I love the perspective and you really get a feel of the spire of the Catherdral towering into the sky

The PP you have done gives a real 3D feel and those wispy white clouds are magnificent

An imposing shot without being over powering. The placement (be it lucky or otherwise)of the chap at in the bottom middle of the frame is great. You can follow a percendicular line up from the top of his head to the very peak of the spire and again for me this just adds to the sense of grandeur of the architecture if you compare the two elements

If your APril Free Study is better than this I cant wait to see it

Its an odd shot but not the worse for it. Have to say that my initial reaction about the 'spare knee' was that I didnt like it, but the more I look at the image the more it grows on me

I reckon in the world of DP Challenges this one might have done badly as I think the majority of people who score give no more than a quick once over to an image and this is definitely a shot that warrants more consideration

I love this shot...and yearn for the day that I can get one as good as it.

I do agree with the comment regarding the contrast on the upper right hand side and in an ideal world maybe a tad sharper reflection, but the bottom line is, if this was in a challenge I would be giving it 9

Awesome

Comment:
Well outstanding bokeh and another great capture...Is it just me or do that monkeys eyes look slightly skew whiff? Guess (and I appreciate getting a monkey to pose is never the easiest thing in the world) that would be my one minus point as it is a bit strange being able to see the white of the iris on the left side of the image and not on the right side

Sandy you are just killing the 'competition' in this challenge

I cannot begin to describe the beauty of this cityscape. The sky is fanatsic and the tones and contrast simply breathtaking

Once again I am not generally a fan of borders but this works magnificently.

This could (and should) be being sold somewhere

Well you tried something different and it worked very well. Love the lighting and composition. Stunning depth of field, great tones and contrast (the grain on the frame of the cart is outstanding) and a very interesting and appealing image

Wow, great abstract with outstanding bokeh. Black border sets it off a treat. Excellent composition though (perhaps)the darker area of the background could have been lightened a shade

Great Image
