From the Critique Club:
This is a beautiful composition with delicate colors and one that has more symbolism than one would expect. However, it is like a lost child in this particular challenge. I am sure, seeing this display of talent that you could find a more apropos image, however, allow me to judge the image instead.
This is a rustic theme presented in wonderful and magical colors. It is earth, water and air. The water is in the form of a transcendental lilac coloration. The earth by the rich greenery of shoots and air by the suds, but they number three or that of the universal triangle. So the image has depth. You do have a very artistic and subtle eye and you have a good sense of color and balance.
A word of humble advise about challenges. Think of a challenge as an assignment from a famous art director. He gives you the theme and it is up to you to spend the time in contiving a special image. You want it to be technically perfect and you want the subject to fit the assignment. At the very end you will benefit greatly because it can only sharpen your creative realm. Again, you have the talent and do not feel that you will be wasting or compromising. Everything we do has a fixed set of limitations and to work and excell with what is available will only help you more with your art. dan |

Maybe in future it would help to describe your pictures and how they fit into the challenges? Once people see how there is "Choice" displayed in here, it may be clearer and give you better votes.
Just my tuppence. Nice pic but with no explanation of how it fit the theme, and with it not being immediately apparant, we simply didn't get "it". |

| Hello Diana thank you for looking at my work again. I enjoy your comment very much. I have really become discouraged as using this place to show case tid bits of my art work. Honestly nobody seems to get it and I am tired of the challenge thing if you don't put an image in the challenge that seems no offense to anyone but brain dead and follows the challenge then well then you'll not get anything but people scratching at they balls or ass asking you or telling you there isn't anything there. Like boomers response he didn't look at the work he looked for the challenge. He didn't look at how the element work the light the suds etc. They are emerge at a poetic view of life in some informal way of seeing but that is how I see the world and you can see it in most if not all of my work and it seems to elude most everyone here. I get comments like on my current newspaper photograph where I have the dead fly who I killed but I photographed it. It have an edge with sunlight with the head in that light causing a shadow but you can see the reflection of the light off the eyes going into the shadow or its passing through the eyes plus the way the rest of the body rests. Sure I could have show it all in either sun or shadow but it wouldn't have emphasized the beauty and the strength of its eyes and other parts. But you wont ever get that or see it until also you get the poem that goes with it in the photographers details. Its really kind of suppose to be funny to and well my fly he would be put in the obituary section of the paper. Anyway humor and things elude people here simplicity to understanding why an image is what it is might be to much but thank you very much for relooking at my work. |

I looked at this again! Then I read the 'photographer's comment'.
Wow, it really is visually superb. There are three lots of suds and the centre one has 'chosen' to be beside one - leaving the other 'unchosen'? I do hope you'll let me know if I'm right?

You again Menardman? You're not even original with your stupid comments. Do you just copy and paste them all in? Do you think DPC will fall apart if you don't comment and vote on all the images? If you are going to be insulting, at least be funny and original about it.
To Jared, I'm glad to see this didn't quite place last. I suffered the 'doesn't meet the challenge' vote also.
This was a interesting shot. I have to admit, it left me scratching my head, as I told you earlier in the week. I only count meeting the challenge as part of my score, not the entire score. |

| I tried, I really tried but I can't see a connection to the challenge. AFter that, there's not much to help this image. It's just some water, some bubbles, and some grass. I guess I just don't get what you were trying to achieve. OTOH, your focus is good! |

"We all face many choices every day. Take a photo representing a choice that you must make."
I didn't see this as a clear image regarding choices.

| What a lovely photo. Trying to understand its relation to the challenge of 'choice'. Really like the contrast between the group of three sudsy bubbles and the background. |
