Last century fish containers

Technically lovely photograph - keeps the impression of the dynamic range of the scene without resorting to over-exposure. Good work.

Dyslexia

Comment:
Neatly done - especially the highlighting of that row of letters, whish is kept within the good dynamic range of the rest of the shot. The barrel distortion is still present, though I think you've done well to keep it to a minimum. There isn't in the end enough appeal in the actual shot, for me - it's a touch too bluntly only about those letters. Perhaps you might have experimented with other means of framing this one?

Rainy Days

I have a fondness for this kind of stuff - I find it evocative (perhaps I just have a fondness for this kind of mood, really). I do wish you hadn't done that with the border though - it rather puts it into the faux art greetings-card terrritory, rather than letting the mood stand on its own. Which is not to say I don't think it will be effective here ... I wish, in terms of dpc entries, my visual imagination extended to such things. A very good shot, flawed. 8.

Out of Control

Interesting entry. There's something about it which says 'too obvious' to me - in that it was exactly what I was expecting to see in this challenge. I'm not sure it'll do so well, perhaps bordering on the too abstract for here, and in fact I think I'd have to concur with that - after some thought, it's just not my cup of tea. Unfortunately, voting is subjective ...

Out of Chaos

Highly proficient - good sense of smoothness and weight in the stones - the green has the look of over-sharpening, but that may just be the way it looks (!). A very dpc photo, I would say - so proficient not only in its technique but in its targeting of audience. I'm sure it will do well.

Chaotic Reflection

Comment:
Colourful and pretty, though a little bit bland, in a greetings-card kind of way. Chaos? Well, I'm finding it impossible to vote with my own sense of that in mind, but this doesn't meet my sense of it. To counter that, I can see its presence here in a mathematical sense. Overall, a highly competent shot, just lacking a touch of inspiration. And I slightly wish you'd cropped out the top of the hull, but that's a personal preference.

Rush Hour Traffic

As, I should imagine, with so many shots on this subject, it's a question of where you draw the line between chaos and complicated order - which is my first impression on seeing this. Any well composed photo is bound to suffer perhaps from seeming too irganised to represent chaos - perhaps explains the small number of entries. A fine photograph, although it really doesn't speak of chaos to me - nevertheless, a 7.

autumn in the park
by GinaRothfels

Comment:
Almost a wonderful composition - perhaps let down a touch by a lack of punch in the colours, or a (typically digital) lack of real softness to the tonal progressions. It seems to me more communicative of stillnes, rather than chaos - but the subject is so difficult to define categorically that it's impossible to vote on that basis. I like it though, very much: just wonder if it couldn't have been a touch better processed. Good.

Sugar Mountains

One of the best captures of light there is on the site - second perhaps, only to the Sydney Harbour Bridge shot. Didn't see it in voting unfortunately, but would have been a certain 10.
