The Highlighted Area

Fun image, inspzil. Very creative. Like the silhouette of the paperclips and the colors are indeed scab-labby. Bet lots of us are running out now to buy Castor oil :) Congrats on ribbon.

Only saw the thumbs of this challenge and never voted. Very happy you got a ribbon; you deserved one! This is a beautiful picture with gorgeous lighting. It is also very original and well-conceived. Like the nostalgic feel of the toning. Great job and congrats!

The Horse
by birgir

Comment:
This is such a lovely composition and the foreground horse seems great. The big problem is the image size: wayyy too small and it makes it hard to see the image and evaluate it. Please submit pics closer to the max size allowed, i.e. 640 px. You're hurting yourself scorewise with such small submissions.

I liked your theme a lot. What i didn't like, and therefore didn't score it terribly high, was: the double-exposure arms - they are so blurry that they almost look masculinely hairy :) - the uneven lighting, knee and the left foot that as a result takes on a bit of an gawdy shape. Furthermore, i question the pose of the model. She is obviously very attractive - is that you? - but her ribs (never the most graceful part of the female body - seem very pronounced and also higher than the breasts. Maybe that's the result of the pose or the model just tucking in her stomach too much. Anyway, i liked your effort and was amused by the title. Hope you'll do more nudes and don't let the anti-nudity crowd here get to you :)

Three Ducks

Beautiful clouds, great opportunity shot with the ducks. Personally, would have cropped off most of the dark at the bottom. 8

Pigeon
by GolferDDS

Comment:
Nice composition with the curves; the pigeon is a wonderful finishing touch; like the abstraction of the trees behind the curve or the reflection thereof in the water. Too bad some of the lights have been blown out (foreground rail and the water); perhaps you took it on the wrong time of the day? 8

Good portrait of a great character, nice B&W. Alors, ce mec, est-il français?

Nice rhythm of lines and of darks and lights. 9

A Very Unusual Portrait
by smellyfish1002

Comment:
This is a great portrait; reminds me of trying to do flowers with a new twist to get away from the cliché. Even though the features are distorted to the point that one cannot 'recognize' the child, it's a telling representation of a child. Find this very insightful. Sad really that you felt obliged to give it such a blatantly obvious title to appease the literal minded voters at dpc. 9

For some reason like the artisticity of the blurred leaf the most. 9
