Well it was certainly controversial. I added the same one with increased brightness and contrast to my portfolio.

Very nice. Love the contrast both in color and textures.

If it weren't for that one cloud this would be a 10. Love the shot.

Nice idea and nice composition, but I find that the sky looks weird, as if its pixelated. Alomst looks like the clouds were manually removed. I'm not saying that you did this, but it does look weird. I also find that the focus isn't quite crisp enough.

Surreal. I can see this hanging in the Guggenheim. I like it!

sky kind of pixelated, not sure if this is a painted sky or the real thing. Interesting shot.

Wonderful picture and composition - however I see some compression artifacts aroud the ball - still a 9

Amazing picture. I really like it. Good work.

Good shot. Novel idea. Great composition. Could have been better with some color control. Needs more intensity and contrast. Looks way too washed out. The blue on white starkness is what makes the photo. You should have enhanced it more to bring it out.

great use of negative space, interesting take on the challenge, colors and composition are right on...well done

Great simplicity, extreme but satisfying composition. The focus is a little too ambiguously soft for my taste and sense. The darker (blue) area appear to reveal some noise.

One of the more truly interesting entries.

I like the composition and the idea is so so clever. I only wish this was a bit lighter, adjustment of the levels is needed. Nice work, and great eye.

even though the ball is still, the lines on the sand and the precarious placement of the ball atop the slope give this a VERY kinetic feeling, not a feeling of rest. I like the shot and am giving it a 7, but it's not calm.

It doesn´t meet the challenge
 09/24/2003 06:34:33 AM
I think this is a beautiful composition, but it seems to be a tad underexposed...
