This image looks a little distorted like it was resized wrong. Did you have the proportions locked when you resized it?

Beatiful shot here. I love the almost B/W that you get with the clouds and the silhouette of the light poles! I do think the second pole in the background takes away from the strength of the single pole in the foreground though. Maybe try cropping just to the right of the second pole or (IMHO better) just above it.

Not Alone So Much Longer

I really like this one except for the out of focus branch in the foreground. After the challenge I would try to clone it out and maybe clone out the lower antenna and then you would have a simple elegant shot that totally matches the title.

Anybody wants to play? Hello?

This is a cool idea! Good focus and use of DOF. The background is a touch busy though and even thoug out of focus, the lines on the court and nets pull my eye away from the subject (the ball)! I would try moving around to get closer to the ball and not have so much background.

Awesome low-key shot the gives an excellent feeling of loneliness. The focus is dead on and the expression is priceless. Wonderful job!

The lonely Icelander

Awesome scenery for shooting around! Wish I was there! This could be a really good shot with this title if you could change the angle to get rid of all the stuff in the background that takes away from the 'lonely' feel. You could even pull him out of the doorway a little and he could help side some of the distractions like the light pole right in the middle...

This is beautiful! The warm golden tones of the background make an awesome contrast with the girls clothes. I think the angle that she is sitting is perfect. If you could see her (most likely) face glued to what ever she is looking at it would take some away from the feeling of solitude! The tree does an awesome job of helping to naturally frame the shot. Wonderfull shot. One of my faves so far...

Great B/W treatment of a mundane object! I do think it needs a touch more DOF -OR- the focus needs to be dead on on the HP symbol for maximum impact!
