This is such a beautiful image! Very well done! The processing is exceptional!
I am so disappointed that she is looking at her phone!
She should be thinking or sipping her drink orâ€Â¦. Anything but looking at her phone.
Still high marks from me.

This is a remarkable picture! I am very biased of the 4 corners area. A photographers playground, for sure. I’m happy to see you’ve kept all the mid-tones intact and made the effort to shoot during the ideal time of the day. . â€Â¦.. â€Â¦.. â€Â¦.. The border is dreadful! It is overwhelming the image. I see you’ve selected a color from the photo, but it isn’t at all a complimentary color to the work. It is a distraction.
All-in-all, high marks from me. Good luck in the challenge!

This is one of my highest rated shots in the challenge. It's awesome work! This is the type of inspirational shot that made me want to join DPChallenge years ago. I would try to think up the most creative image I could take, and every time I looked at the challenge entries, someone would think up something so simple and yet so much better than anything my mind could dream up. I really struggle with simplicity in my work. I can see it clearly in other people's work, I just don̢۪t have the ability to think like this. I'm glad I took the time to vote in this challenge... Thanks for the inspiration!

This is my highest rated shot of the contest and one of only three 10's I gave out. It's brilliant and a bold entry for the DPC folks! I hope to see this one on the front page.

Marbles.... Great idea! Too bad it's upside-down. (kidding). I hope it does well for you in the challenge.

No Monkeying around

This shot has some great potential. Jacks was one of the toys I thought might make a good entry when I read the challenge description. I like what you’ve done with the upper background. It’s clean and uncluttered. I don’t care much for the reflections on the glass. I understand that the wooden monkey is playing the game, but I’m not sure he or the container is adding interest to the overall shot for me. I actually think if you had taken an extreme close-up of the jacks with maybe a half or third of the ball showing in the shot it might have made a stellar black and white shot worth hanging on the wall in a play room or something. I hope you are not offended by my comment here. One of the things I’ve learned as a photographer is that if you place 10 fantastic photographers in a room and ask them all to shoot the same flower; you will usually end up with 10 fantastic shots of the flower, none of which are the same. With that thoughtâ€Â¦ I hope some of my ramblings here are helpful to you in some way. Good Luck in the Challenge!
