Misty Taal Volcano - Silent now........tomorrow?

A really good idea and a great depiction of the challenge. The fog just doesn't do it for me. The colors are so washed out that everything seems flat. Score: 5
Nicely done nonetheless, good luck.

I think the idea is a good one, however the subject lacks some punch to really be interesting. The colors are a little washed for my taste, maybe it would have been better in B&W. The shot does convey the challenge, kuddos on that. SCORE: 3
Good job nonetheless and good luck.

the ultimate

Nice idea and nice composition. What bothers me here is this:
- I'm not sure if the softness was intentional but the focus is a little soft for my taste, nothing "pops".
- The border is a little much in this case, it's a simple shot, I would have preferred a simple border or none at all.
The colors are nice though. Score: 4
Good job nonetheless and good luck.

A seat under the stars

Somehow I could see this as a book cover. A really nice shot that has a simple originality to it. The only thing bothering me in this is the grass at the bottom, I would have liked everything very dark except for the stars and the chair. But even that is knitpicking! Score: 9 Great job! Good luck!

One of those "I wonder what that is" photo. Original, great composition as far as I'm concerned. Simple and effective. The only thing preventing me from giving this a perfect score is I don't know what it is, thus I can't calibrate the "mudane" part of it.Score: 9 Awesome job! Good Luck!

This is one of my favs.An excellent depiction of the challenge. Amazing colors, great DoF and the composition just brings it all together. I'm sorry to say I have nothing constructive to say about this shot. When it's good, it's good! Score: 10 Great job and good luck!

"The Least Expensive Flower"
by smellyfish1002

Comment:
I really love the simplicity of this shot. The contrast is flawless and right on target which is often the problem with most B&W shots here. The only problem I have with this is the shot is heavy on the left side, and seems unbalenced to my eye.
Score: 8 Great job and good luck!

On it's own, I really enjoy this shot. Composition is nice, DoF is well executed, sharpeness is near perfect and the lghting, although maybe a little harsh on some areas, is pretty good. However, for me it doesn't depict the challenge. I don't see the conflict in this shot. I would like to score this high but because of that I've given it a 4. An overall excellent shot just maybe not for this challenge. Good luck!
