Day 1 - Scratch

Love the composition of this shot, as previously commented on the white on the neck and leg are alittle blown out and the left side of Secret just seems a shade (and I am talking fractions here) out of focus, possibly a greater dof may have helped (or alternatively a tad more sharpening)

Lovely shot though

Fantastic image for day one of the challenge, great shot of the city and the fact that you have kept in so noise free is wonderful. A Really beautiful image which is set off by the border. I really couldnt recommend any way to improve this shot

In terms of tone and contrast I think this works very well. Having said that maybe the tree could be positioned a little more off centre, and that the image would work better with more rule of thirds applied...either that or hack the smaller trees to the immediate left and right down to give more of a sense of isolation! ;)

I love the fact that something that Brits know quintessentially to be red is capture in black and white. I agree with the previous comment about the nice repetion and the fencing behind accentuates that well.

Lovely shot, the backdrop provides a stark but eyecatching element, which for me is complimented by the fact that the umbrella looks as if it may have seen better days. I really like the reflection of the feet and legs as well

Interesting real life shot and great that no-one appears to be really concentrating on what you are doing. For me the noise kinda works in this image though it would be good to see a smoother shot. Very nice framing

Nice sharpeness and as previously mention good bokeh. Nice off centre position. Perhaps my only adverse comment is with regards the subject matter. Its a nice image but there isnt (for my tastes) any real 'wow' factor

DAY 1. B&W. full moon ..

Comment:
Roz, well it would have got a six from me, so I think you are being harsh. Great application of rule of thrid with the 'arm' of the cross
Strangely I feel the moon actually slightly distracts as it seems a touch incongrous with the image (possibly worse because of its position in the image)

All this is in the opinion of someone who is very new to this game (and it appears to run contrary to what others have said), so please take it with a pinch of salt

Congrats on being number one in this challenge, more congrats on the quality of the image. I love the building lines and the minamalism of the tree. The clouds give the shot a wonderful 3D effect

If all the pics in this challenge are this good then its going to be a great 30 days
