INITIAL RESPONSE: Nice 'flod' picture with a touch of humor. Very adequate to the challenge. Brown picture with touch of color drawing the eye.

Composition/Background :
Nice comosition (like framing the center of the picture) . Maybe would have been a little better with the toy truck not 'touching' the reflection of the house (maybe). I like the contrast bertween the gree/red and the brown of the rest of the picture. Maybe some 'unused and distracted space' at the bottom. (Maybe try to crop less to remove the bottom part and the 'block( in the reflection at the bottom. Try to crop a 640x427 for this one (maybe)

TECHNICAL : I like the exposure a little bark/somber ....it makes the picture a good 'flood documentary' picture. Good depth of field.

DIGITAL PROCESSING : Not too oversharpened wich I like , the surface of the water has details which I like.

MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO - I like that picture .. I do not find it 'appealing' but I like it. I wish you had done a little better in that challenge.

This image didn't really strike me at first, but right before I clicked my vote it really hit me. The contrast of space and color here is really outstanding, and even with such a narrow window of composition, it tells the entire story. Great job getting into the shoes of a photojournalist.

So much in the news lately. All over the front pages. I love the shadows in the photo. I personally think they add to it. Shot just a little dark, but otherwise good and news worthy. PTL8

For some reason that looks like a toy truck.. Not sure why??? Maybe it is! Nice idea, but the water is just TOOO smooth. 6 nards656

Not bad but better if ou hca gotten down close to the water level to sum up this shot and maybe get the house in it to give it an illusion.

the toy truck is not enough evidence to convince me this is a real flood. something else in the picture needs to tell me that this is a real flood.

might be better if the truck was in the water to the right and the reflections were cropped out.... they give away what size it is
