Toyota Prius Hybrid - Beat Them at Their Own Game
by jbsmithana

Comment:
Lovely idea that I could definitely imagine being used to sell this vehicle. Love the sharpness on the car and the gentle bokeh backdrop which gets the 'selling message' across without either losing too much detail or over powering the image

Perhaps could have done with a little bit of a boost to the car colours but still an excellent 8

Honda - The Power of Dreams

Very nice shot that I could imagine being used to sell this car, like the adverse camber effect of the road. Possibly my only minor comment would be that colour wise it appears a little flat. I'm not sure whether that was down to grey skies/time of day of the shot.

Very nice sharpness on the car

8 from me

Porsche 356 - "Ride the Storm"
by AlexSaberi

Comment:
Does this image make me want to but a 366? Possibly not, but it did stop me in my tracks. Super colours and a great job on the clouds (Gosh I hope the skies did not open given that the roof was down.

Nice S bend and diagonal leading line although I may have liked it even more if you had played with the straightening tool to give the effect of the car going up, rather than down hill. Even as it is a very nice shot 8

Super photo (so good in fact in terms of 'selling' the car that it made me go onto a website and see how much these cost...sadly I live in the UK and we apparently dont sell Camry's here)

Like the B&W conversion, though possibly the contrast levels could have been tweaked a touch

Super image that meets the challenge very well - 8

Porsche...Nothing Even Comes Close

Best in challenge from my opinion. You see this picture and you think 'mmm I'd like one of those' super composition colouring and the foreground motion blurring works very well. 9 from me (the only thing stopping it from being a 10 is that I would like the car to be a tad larger in the frame)

Great photo, good luck

In the Shadow of the Little Match Girl
by colorcarnival

Comment:
hmmmm yes lets not talk about the story of the little match girl as I am a chap and therefore suppose to be TOUGH. There were a few LMG images in the challenge and this had (genuinely) been my favourite of them

Love the B&W (and knowing the story the dead matches are a poigniant depiction of it) and I thought that the shadow 'picking up' the dead match was a very clever touch. From my perspective I may have liked to see a bit more space between the spent matches and the border, but I thought this was a cool shot

When You Wish Upon A Star

Comment:
hahaha...Karen you and I really need to have a discussion about what makes a 'bad' shot (can I point you in the direction of my challenge portfolio if you require some illustrations)

When I was scoring the challenge I had thought this was a greta idea and was quite envious of how you had caught the sparkler in action (though I would have liked all the sparkles contained in the image)

I like the leading diagonal and the placement on points of thirds. Maybe not one of your stop me dead in my tracks images but still a picture that I would have been more than happy to take myself

Good job

Well I gave you my opinion during the challenge but would add that I think this was 'robbed' by the voters...check out the posthumous ribbon thread....I loved this shot

Closed for the Winter

Nice FS score!!!

Great shot full of autumnal brown, the dof you used here is imperious, fantastic sharpness on the leaf and wonderful rapid move to bokeh

very nice simple image that brings beauty out of something that many people would would by without thinking about

Well it made me laugh (and feel slightlly ill at ease, this is the stuff that easily could give kids nightmares)

Love the dof you used and the father christmas is bang on in terms of sharpness and colour
