this might be my favorite from your portfolio just because ive never seen water look so soft, even in 5 minute exposure "DPClassic sunrise shots" ( what i like to call the inevitable winners of every challenge). rather than the exposure making the water soft looking the reflected bokeh and the hard contrasty forms of the pebbles create this serene feel that i get from the shot

I really like what is going on here. The textures, light, and colors are all wonderful. I just think something is missing, maybe a bigger leaf? It is one of those photos that almost has it all, just missing a little something. Still I really like the idea and think that the uniqueness is really what is most important anyhow. Well done.

Keep pointing your camera into interesting nooks and at interesting angles, Deb. I really like a lot of your recent work, and this is a good example of why.

Well Deb, this is not your usual style. I think it's kind of neat though but I'm not surprised what DPC did to it. Good job in my eyes.

Ah, Deb, love this one (I was one of your 7's). Not enough action for the DPC crowd, but a truly beautiful, understated photo. Nicely done!

I like the touch of blue in the middle of the browns & blacks. Love the textures too.

Had to stop for a bite to eat from turning so many pages...An interesting image and a stretch of the mind to see your story in this image, I gave this a 6 for the depth in the processing.

This is so artistic and pretty. I like it alot. Framed in blacks and browns with the blue sky reflecting in the puddle. It's beautiful!

The colors and contrasts are so subtle here - a very good shot.

Ooooh! Beautiful! Lovely "sidewalk abstract", and oh so temporary. Hope you do well.

Man! I wish this photo was just a bit sharper or something. The lighting, colors, and highlights, along with the shapes, really make this photo stand out. My attention is locked in to the photo. But as I study it more, trying to find some detail, I get lost in it. Still, it is an amazing shot.

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two three now and I'm running late, sorry.
