So should have been a free study entry have to agree far too good as a random upload!

The Venus Representative

Hmm all down the right side of his body is a jaggy and then a px halo well on my monitors. If you still can't see it Sebi PM me and I will try and send you a copy with it emphasized even more.

For me the composition is perfect, I don't feel rule of thirds here would have been as strong and I feel sometimes people stick to that far to rigidly and are quick to throw it around like it's the be all and end all in a photo, rules are meant to be broken and for me this is the perfect example of why, trouble is people that think it's a rule that should be adhered to aren't always forgiving in their voting (again this is only my opinion).

I love the lighting and the setting too I think both add to the feeling of the shot, I could honestly see this on the cover of a movie or a poster for one. I have no idea why it didn't score much higher and personally feel it's underrated. You just didn't hit a chord with the voters - however in the "right" challenge it may well have scored much better even here ;)

Another pleasing scene, the leading lines are very nice and I quite like the processing. Good shot!

I love the reflections and I have been saying a lot of shots are over processed, however in the case of this shot I feel it works - the textures are just great, I love the contrasts from the tree line and the sky and talking of the sky that colour is gorgeous!

I'd stab a guess this might be Bear_Music but could be wrong.

Another very nice shot, love the softness of the corn in the foreground against that stunning sky.

A slight distraction on the right is that metal building and I feel that could have been cropped without losing and of the composition.

Don't Pick the Flowers!

I love this and hope to see it in the top ten.

The curves of the middle fence playing against the straight lines of the front fence and the almost perfect line of trees in the background it just works for me. Lovely processing too.
