Nice colors here and the background to the right really does bring the flower to the front.. I like the shadow affect it has on it.. I imagine you did some ps things to it.. Just curious was it burn or dodge..? Certainly a nice macro, thanks for the thoughts on moms day in the forums..Peace!

The letter

At the arms it doesnt look so real or faded at all...It seems strange too to have the arms in opposite directions. Its a neat concept though.. I dont know maybe a little to much fading on the bottom too where the hand could be in more focus.. perhaps this will help some but dont change on account of my opinion if you like it...I am just telling you what I think because you did ask :)

Blinds

I think its awesome that you are thinking out of the box, out of the ordinary and right on target with what the topic of the challenge was.. Its to bad this one had not scored higher because its really good.. For you to make the blinds going in the diagonal direction is superb as well. Its got a nice soft feeling but yet its sharpened right.. A good contrast too.. Well done for the frist challenge... Keep at it I'd like to see you and Sara win a ribbon... Well I would like to too but I have a lot of improving to do or to find a subject, shoot it well and hopefully the dpcers here will like it.. I think the majority of how you win here is if it appeals to the voters... dont let that discourage you though there are some that have a mind... Peace!

" Black dogs are HARD to shoot... "

You can say that again... I agree with you. But its apparent not to be hard for you.. I really like how your dog stands out in this. I also want to say thank you for leaving your notes to your process of how you accomplished this. I have to say I would be proud to have a dog like that and I am sure you are, so that said your portrait is a honor to her and dogs like her.. Wow a very good and well done!

Tell me did you do this for real or did you edit in photoshop? Its totally inspiring and awesome... Though if the black or dark like shadow could go all around the coin leaving it framed maybe this could be a bit better.. I still like though :)

Congratulations on taking third, what a lovely image! I like the peacefullness it has in it. Very calm blue is a nice color too that helps bring out that coolness and the blue really enhances the intire affect fading to the shade.. Well done!

This is cool the way her hair is swooping down and the limbs above her too, but just a little corner off the right maybe if it was cropped a bit would make this better to focus on her instead of moving eys to the top. Only my opinion, :)
