Fire

I think that this would have been more intense had the top of the flame been in evidence. Nice picture though!! (6)

Nice shot, well defined. Crisp and clear. I like the smoke seeming to come off the jalapeño when we know the pepper is hotter than the flame!! :) (8)

Heaven And Hell

Wonderful shot but a bit washed out. With some contrast, not only would the building in flames have been more in evidence, but the fire would have shown the intensity more.

But, it is an awesome shot. (8)

Photo is well done, but I would have liked the crop to have been larger...where it shows the top of the flames. With this close cropping I feel it lost some of it's punch. (5)

Just thinking

What a beautiful shot, Judi!! I wish I could have gotten farther in my voting...this would have been a 10 from me.

You have the perfect model in your daughter. Her face is the kind that is gonna make a ton of guys cry in a few years...if she isn't already!! I hadn't realized she was your daughter until reading it here. I think she was the model you used for "Fragile" in the Deja Vu III Challenge, wasn't she. Can definitely see where she gets her looks!!

Congrats on the ribbon!!

About to Apply Mascara
by Jas

Comment:
I am mixed about this photo. My heart tells me that the eye should be more in focus, but my mind says that mascara is applied to the eyelashes. But then, I AM a guy and am not really sure if that is what mascara is/does. So, I will go with what could possibly be a mixed up mind and say...nice shot! (8)

Tranquility

Comment:
I would have liked to have seen this one cropped closer. Might have taken away some of the overall affect, but the birds in the water and that one on the reed , if larger, I do believe might have brought the feeling of tranquility more to the forefront.

Great shot, no matter what! (8)

Cris...

Sorry about the DQ. Was a great shot that deserved the ribbon...but gotta follow the rules. Maybe the next shot will be a killer once again... and will take that ribbon permanently!
