TAKE IN THE LIGHT

I really like the composition and the light on the top of the pews. The blown out highlights in the window were hard to avoid in getting this shot as a single exposure. To me, it looks like the type of shot that could benefit from light-handed HDR (slightly desaturated to avoid too much vivid color, which wouldn't quite match the mood of the shot). That would allow you to get detail in the room and in the window. Overall great shot though!

LMAO! Can we vote on best title? :) Not only did the title make me laugh, but the exposure is spot-on and this is a great capture of an intense scene. 8 from me.

LOL, I love it! Is this HDR, Lucisart filter, or the Draganizer action? Whatever it is, the result is awesome. Even though the highlights in the umbrella are lost, I think it actually works in this shot since you're trying to stress how incredibly bright it is. Very creative and great composition! 8 from me.

Awesome shot! The composition is superb and I love how sharp the shot is for being a night shot. :) The only possible improvement I can see would be if the highlights in the fire weren't so hot (no pun intended) so the flames themselves showed up. However, that being said, this exposure allowed you to get more light on the fire eater. Overall great shot! 8 from me.

By far the most creative shot I've seen in the challenge. While the highlights on the top of the umbrella are a bit hot, I think it's worth it for the awesome overall exposure you got. :) Also, great choice on the uber-colorful shirt! I think it really tied the shot together. 8 from me.

Absolutely gorgeous light. Excellent balance of exposure between the sky and sea. Was a graduated neutral density filter used or just some good Photoshop editing? :) The saturation level and colors are awesome! 8 from me.

I don't know what it is about ring lights that I dig so much, but I really do! This is a great photo and the wide angle you used is perfect for exaggerating the heart glasses. :) I actually don't mind the reflection of the ring light, especially since the catch lights in the cat's eyes are awesome! 8

F***ing sweet! I absolutely love light painting, and this is a prime example. In addition to the great silhouette, I really dig the small amount of light that spills over near the edges to give the front some definition. Then the halo is just icing on the cake. 10! :)
