Montmartre by night

Comment:
This photo has the possibility to be breathtaking. I think the high contrast intensity of the lights distracts from what otherwise is a brilliant photo. Tone those done and let the amazing composition and your eye for a great picture take over and speak for themselves. Wow! what a great idea for a piece.

Still Life in B&W

I like the element in the foreground of this photo very much. I would crop it so it is that element which fills the frame. The values are outstanding. Nice job.

A Path to Eternity

Rather than making me feel that this is a path leading somewhere, I feel trapped and boxed in by this piece. My eye goes directly to the corner on the near side of the arch. The tension created is suffocating rather than liberating.

Hayden Falls

I love the trees at the top of the waterfall. I don't like how much space is dedicated to the dark rocks in the right of the frame. They distract from your focal point rather than enhance it. It is simply a matter of cropping. The rocks themselves would make an interesting image. There are some amazing things going on in this piece, each could stand on its own with some different framing.

Light reflection on cristal

Comment:
This image looks blurry. The title using reflection and crystal evokes a crisp image in my mind. My eye seeks a focal point but doesn't find one.

The aninmation on the subject's face truly makes this photo.The trick of rotating your image to give the illusion that she is suspended joyfully in the air adds the perfect complement to her expression. Great fun!

Your alternate option: Apple

Comment:
Fun idea! Apple devotees are so dedicated. I would like to see the apple icon a bit more in forcus and the Z a bit softer. I like this and the thought you put into it. Nice job.

This Too Shall Pass

I absolutely love this image. The hopefulness of having the flower face to the right, the water drops which symbolized the tears of healing for me. The values in the flower and the crispness of the petals are superb. I would crop the right edge in toward the flower a bit more so there is a feeling the moving beyond the pain is more within reach, but that is just a petty little comment. Outstanding work. Thanks for sharing it.

Grid Lock

Nice use of the diamond/square motif. This is certainly beyond your control, but the fact that the wires are not perfectly straight bothers me. The idea is brilliant because of the subject matter in the background. The tunnel of light hinting at escape and the world beyond works very well. This images takes some work on the part of the viewer in the sense that it is almost interactive. I see more elements each time I look at it, yet it isn't cluttered. It might be easily overlooked by voters who are in a rush or unwilling to make an effort with a photo. I think it works just as well as an image that is immediately striking, if not better. Really nice work.

Mt. Rainier

A little too much foreground in this beautiful image. Cut some of it so the the lake is more a complement to the mountain.
