Low Light

Like this very much: the mystery of it, the compositional strength, the strong sense of light. I oftenwonder, with this kind of tonal rnage in an image here (i.e. dpc, or web display generally), whether it isn't more effective to enhance the low-end curve - from around 0 up to around 20: the variety of different moitor settings and types on which it is going to be viewed have the greatest difference in that kind of range, and it ouwld give you more control over what folks generally see in areas like the left of frame here.

Electric Glow

Like the evident sharpness of a naturally blurry subject. Nicely executed, nicely composed - though I suspect many will think it's centred because of the poitioning of the element; your composition makes the dark (of course a necessary companion to the light) just a strong a part of the shot.

By the Light of the Moon

You title throws me: is this really moonlight? Looks like the looming of a distant city rather. I like the effect nevertheless. I don't get a great deal from it though - against the starts the effect of the moving clouds is effective, but the horizon is a bit ordinary, and whilst obviously necessary to the shot, I'm left wanting more of something. 6

There's a spooky element ot this shot, which is very strong. The cropping seems arbitrary at top and bottom - bottom more so - I'd be interested to know your thinking about that: I wonder if you've tried too hard to keep both the ethereal sky and the hauntedness of the foreground pathway? The figures add a strong edge too - a sense of careful departure. Like this a lot.

Hm. I had something along the same lines myself, but didn't upload it. Compositionally this is very strong, and there is a sense of atmosphere to the empty room. I think you've done a good job wiith the balance of exposure, in a near imposible situation, without taking obvious processing artefacts to a noticeable amount. The impression of haze around the window, the unevenness of it, bugs me just a little: I like the idea of it, but the non-regularity of it somehow makes it seem unsuited to the room, unnatural, almost, out of place. Unless of course that is a processing artefact :-)

The best lit image here - strong sense of textures in both the steel and the skin; a very human shot, I think. Strong graphically too - it doesn't quite grab me, as a subject, but there's a lot of tonality here that I really do like.

Immensely likeable shot; has mystery, interest, depth - great tonality and sense of texture and atmosphere. I wouldn't change a thing.

Gerbera in a WInter Light

Red is so difficult on computers - there's a reason why so many of the most popular images on dpc feature blue. This is great though - pin sharp, and just perfectly saturated - has real impact but hasn't gone into clipping anywhere that I can see.

After 117 challenges, your first ribbon :-) I was amazed to see that you hadn't got one or two already. Many congratulations. I recommend keeping a screen-shot of the front page ;-)

Ron - I kinda see what you mean about the score, but I can't explain it either. Huge congratulations on your first ribbon though; great feeling, huh?
