Another Battlefield Countryscape

Great shot. The dark sky really brings a foreboding feeling. Very good title. I would like to see it in sepia tone. I think that might lend it a real 1865 feel.

The shot could have been a little underexposed as the texture of the top of fence braces gets lost, but that is a real nit.

Wonderful shot.

I see you had the same problem with your keyboard that I had with mine. They do collect stuff. Great focus up so close. Did you use a macro lens, extention tubes, or front close-up lens, crop from larger shot? Was this the color of the keys? I never saw brown keys before.

At any rate, and with which ever method, great job!

Lovely shot. Great framing and lighting. I might have preferred to see the top of the pillars, although the door makes a very nice frame alone. The color choices are great and the model is Lovely model. I like her slight rotation away from the camera. All in all, a wonderful shot.

Quaint Rail Station
by kleski

Comment:
Interesting shot. Quaint? yes. Rail Station? yes, well, perhaps, at least it was a rail station; coffee shop now? So, I certainly deem the title and photo meet the challenge.

I find the colors very interesting. It reminds me of the odd colors found in the sky while tornadoes are near. The clouds also look familiar, but they don't look real. Were they added?

Cliché DPChallenge Entry

Comment:
Very interesting shot. I love the colors, very smooth. Regarding matching the challenge. Is DPChallenge a word? Hum... I am not sure.

You might have tried to keep the defocused portions of the picture to either the front or the back or, if both, further from the sharp water drop. Clearly, the water drop is important to be in focus, so I believe I might have brought closer to the foreground.

Highly Intoxicating Jam

Comment:
This gave me a big smile. Where does one go to get said "Special" Raspberry Jam. ;-) Nice idea.

Warning: the "Warning" is out of focus. I might suggest a larger F stop to give you a bit more depth of field. Next time, you might pick a new jar unless you are suggesting that Ohlson's is just too good for a jar to stay new.

Nice job.

Gruesome, but a part of nature. excellent realization of the challenge. Nice job. Too bad the right antenna walked out of focus.

Adam Begins Control

Comment:
This shot made me laugh, not only from the fantasy title (what man ever really gets control), which certainly meets the challenge, but the great look in the female models face. The Man's hand placement remind me a little of the "god touching man" from Michael Angelo's Sistine Chapel. I haven't looked at others of your shots, but the lady is great. I think it would be your good fortune to get to use her often.

This is a crisp clean shot, well lit and posed. I think it must have been fun for you to create.

Kiwi Lemon Mix

This took some work to reach to the challenge, but it was very successful. Congratulations in your thought process, execution of the subject creation, and the photographic excellence. The yellow frame is a nice addition in my opinion.

My only negative observation is the brightness of the intersection between the lemon rind and the black background. It looks almost like it is glowing and it looks artificial. Did you sharpen these areas or is this, perhaps, an artifact of adding a background. I have no idea if this is what you did or not.

Nice shot.
