Shadow Dunes IIby ElemmennopeComment: I prefer this one over the other. The other shot has too many distractions in the sand itself like dead plant matter. This one seems relatively void of such imperfections. I also like the background better here with the water and the birds in V formation. Although it seems difficult to tell if the horizon is level due to the mountains and water, it looks level. I'd tinker around with levels and curves to maximize contrast and maybe clone out the odd bits and ends in the sand. One more suggestion: try this in b/w or some other duotone. Sometimes the best nature shots, or shots in general, look much better in b/w.
Otherwise, great shots and keep up the good work! I wish I had access to dunes like these but I have stuff like the Walt Disney Concert Hall, sheesh. :) |

Old Portby beletteComment: Nice contrast of old and new architecture to make your vanishing point. Colors seem bland and lack punch and depth. |

Eternal Bondby RudyC310Comment: I don't see the converging parallel lines producing a vanishing point or at least hinting at one. |

St Kilda Pier at nightby mandypComment: The lamps seems to distract me from the main purpose of this image and so does the puddle with the bright highlights. Once I get past that, the vanishing point is apparent and executed nicely. Focus seems to be off a bit. |

Country Road Take Me Home....by MonaComment: Interesting take on the challenge! I like this twist on the concept and I think it works very well. However, you seem to have over sharpened by quite a lot and it shows in the overprocessed highlights throughout the image as well as the unusually sharp edges of the tree leaves. Experiment with varying heights (vantage points) to see what works best vs only taking at standing eye level. |

Countryscapeby GolferDDSComment: Well cropped and implemented. I think it might have been more dramatic if you were a bit lower and closer to the fence therefore the fence coming from behind the camera, past the camera and far in front into the vanishing point. Focus seems a bit fuzzy, too. |

Can't see the forest for the treesby cwyouComment: Such a shame that this photo is so poorly focused. I really liked the thumbnail and was excited to look at the full image. Contrast is also off and the right side and bottom could be cropped a bit more. |

Reachby JesuispeureComment: Instead of tilting the camera to take this picture, maybe sit on the ground at the front door and shoot directly up towards the spires. If you have a wide enough angle lens, you might get both and maybe even get them appear to bend towards each other thus creating your vanishing point. I do see what you were thinking here but it's not quite as effective. Maybe my idea isn't either. |

Converging Cloudsby GBServisComment: A bit overexposed but the principle is there with the converging lines. My eyes drift towards the right top cloud more than look at the lines of the buildings. |
