| lovely landscape, possibly overdone with the bright glow things - would love to see bigger. maybe we should have an "inspired by the title" challenge. 6 |

A much better representation of this story.
i love the sun behind the trees and the mist, it's a shame that plant is sitting there in the foreground, but that's unavoidable to get the rest of the image.
a 7 from me |

| Comment Challenge: The lighting on this is fantastic. It definitely carries the theme. This must be a beautiful scene in person. The darkened upper right corner bothers me - seems a bit too much for the rest of the image. |

I am not persuaded that this lovely image is suited for Huxley's brave world. It's a gorgeous place that looks somehow like a Flemish or Dutch painting.

| Beautiful light, the softness makes it a little murky, though the saturation brings a lot of detail out. The empty sky is in conflict with the large grass clump in the foreground. Individually, all the elements are very good, it doesn't gel for me as a whole unfortunately, a shame because you have picked a beautiful place to go. In regard to the novel, is can be subjectively related but not strongly. A nice effort just the same.5. |

This image would have been much more suited to "The Lost World"... As it is, it's entirely unconnected to the chosen novel. What a shame..
It's a lovely image, but without the critical measure of meeting the challenge, I'm afraid I cannot but give this a 4 - which is entirely for the eyecandy.
Bumped to a 5 |

Not sure the foreground adds much. At first I thought that the weeds in the lower left might lead nicely into the interesting area of the upper left, but I think it points out that that there's just not much interesting in the foreground, and it's quite shadowed.
I would love to see this cropped just as the upper 1/4 of the photo. That part is particularly nice. :)
I wish there was more of a connection to the novel, however. -6- |

| 6...I love the light pouring through the trees.This conjures nothing of the novel for me. The HDR effect is almost too much for my taste. |

| I like the processing and the colors. It makes look out of this world to a certain extent. The tilt however ruins it. The grass on the bottom mid-left is a bit too much too. 5 |

| I can kind of feel the tie to the story on this one but it may be a bit of a stretch. I like the rays of light though the trees and water fall. The plants in the foreground might be a tad over processed, especially in the light on the left. 6 |

| This looks more like the garden of eden than the utopian world conceived by Aldus Huxley in the book as I remember it. But still is is a well executed photo with a more generalized utopian ideal nicely presented. |

It's been a long time since I have read the book so.....
This does not seem like an image that suggest Brave New World to me.
I like how you have captured the light in the photo, and I like the foreground grass, but the overall image does not doesn't piece together well for me.
I gave it a 3. |

| I love the light, but I don't like seeing it through this weird HDR processing. The composition is low energy. 3 |

This is a remarkably lovely image but it has absolutely nothing to do with the novel. The novel is a dystopian vision of the near future, a bleak, industrial future marked by conformity and despair, it's all about people and their struggles. THIS is a romantic vision, not a dystopian one. For what it's worth, the novel's title borrows from Shakespeare: "O, brave new world, that has such people in it!"
It's a good picture, 5 would make it below average which I don't want to do, so I give it a 6. |

Really love the sun shining through the trees and the hint of fog in the image!
