Light At The End Of The Tunnel

Great title for this shot. I like that you can see just the slightest reflection of the water within the blackness leading to the cave opening. I think a sharper focus would enhance the image a little since there seems to be so much wonderful detail in the stone. The brightness of the sun also seems to wash out some of those details. Otherwise, I think this is a nice contribution to the challenge.

This is one of the most clever shots of the challenge. Perfect use of negative space to emphasize your idea. I keep looking at that cable running across the floor and I can't decide whether I like it or if it would be better if it weren't there, but since it obviously had to be there to get the TV turned on, I reckon I like it just fine. I'm glad you left the "snow" on the screen rather than taking a picture of a football game or something. The blue screen adds the right amount of color to the otherwise dullness of the tones, again emphasizing your theme.

Beautifully artistic. The lighting is perfect and the shroud adds a wonderful softness to her form. This is a terrific example of not only negative space but of nude photography.

Not a Bright Idea

I like this shot a lot but the lightbulb, unfortunately, gets lost in the white background. Wouldn't it be fun if it was yellow? Also, the focus on your subject seems just a little soft. For this photo, I think the crisper the better. Very humorous and original though.

This is one of my favorites of the challenge. Absolutely beautiful in every way. The placement on the page, the softness of the center branch in the background, the sharp focus of those in the fore, the perfect lighting...but most of all, that splendid contrast of the red against all the different shades of green. Just fantastic. A 10 from me if I could give you a vote!!

Tidy Up!

I liked this shot as a thumbnail, but opening it up, I'm even more curious about it. I figured it was a janitor cleaning up a parking lot, but this person's clothing and helmet suggest something more. He almost looks like a racer of some kind, which makes the idea of him tidying up a little more intriguing. What is he cleaning up? Debris from a crash? Is he a motorcyclist cleaning up stuff from the track that might cause a crash? You have taken your interpretation of negative space to create a picture for the imagination to fill in the blanks. Always my favorite kind of shot.

I liked this as a thumbnail which is why I opened it up larger to comment on it (I can't vote). I was a little disappointed that the grasshopper's body is not in focus, but I suppose that's either intentional or unavoidable given his...er...pose (do grasshoppers pose? LOL). Anyway, I love his placement on the page, the way he is looking straight on into the camera, the soft reflection underneath him and definitely your use of negative space. Cool picture. Thanks.

Every once in awhile, the camera manages to capture something truly wonderous and this is definitely one of those shots. Not only have you taken my breath away with the beauty of your obvious center of focus, but you have captivated my imagination as I study the clouds at the top of the frame and see the "angel" watching over this lonely little grave. I think the sepia works wonderfully here, disallowing color to detract from these amazing images. The ONLY distraction I see is the very small silhouette in the bottom left corner of the frame which can be easily tweaked out with post-processing techniques. All in all, a terrific use of negative space. A 10 from me (if only I could vote).

This is a great shot. I love how both the dog and the window panes stand out against the darker backdrop and the placement on the page is perfect. I can't give you a vote but if I could, it would be at least an 8. Great job.

This is a nice real estate shot, but it does not give the feeling of desolation to me. Except for the few bits of graffiti that are barely noticeable, it seems more like a coveted piece of real estate than an old, delapitated home.
