Always a patriotic dresser at Ascot! Desaturation brings the St George Cross out nicely. Hope you won! :)

Out of the Fog

Sinister and dramatic, foggy but the detail is still crisp. The conversion fits the shot exactly and increases the atmosphere. I didn't vote this challenge, but would have scored it a well deserved 9.

It's that Roswell crap again!

Great Macro. Looks to me like drill or machining swath?

Great Macro, sharp focus good DOF, my guess is a Horny Back Toad or similar?

A good Macro. My guess is a view from below of a model car's engine? Noted steering rack.

Jayson, I gave you 7 and thought it was a different take on the Eye. Rather than trying to capture the whole thing, you got a photo that shows it in context with its surroundings. I am surprised it didn't score higher, but that is DPC for you! Well done.

I liked this a lot, wildlife is one of my favourite subjects. In fact, I am taking my camera to work tomorrow (Wednesday) cos we have lots of new babies. Last count was three, four and six Canada Geese Goslings, one Coot and a persistent Heron. There are a pair of Egyptian Geese, but they have never bred here yet.

Well done, Deb, and keep enjoying what you do!!

Steeplechase

Hi, from The Critique Club,

Triptych throws up so many different ideas and styles.

Composition is nicely balanced and the clincher for me is the last shot of the three where his foot hits the water. There are a couple of issues that I will touch on in the technical section, but a good attempt for a Triptych.

Technically, I feel the overall group of shots lacked that final sharpness to make them jump out of the photos. Bringing the hurdler closer and using a shallower DOF would have blurred the background. As one commenter stated, it has the feel of a film strip, one way over this would have been to use thicker borders.

Overal conclusions, I like the stop action feel and with wider borders and sharpening a little more would have given this real WOW factor. Now that voting has finished, you might consider using the original to try some PP, experiment with different borders, saturation and sharpness. A good entry and due to the minor issues, I think it finished in about the right place in the challenge. Be sure to post any modifications you do to it. Well done.
