getting old
by mello

Comment:
ok, so old is a relative term. the problem is that all of the people voting will be older than this little girl, so to them, she is young. you might have tried putting her next to a baby to emphasize the relativity of the concept of age. other than that, it's a great shot, and I get your point, so I'm going to score it well.

great idea. I like the shadows on the ground and the way the light bleeds through the cracks in the barn. there is also a nice gradient of values from the upper left to the lower right.

Cracked Bubbles

Comment:
this shot has me confused. is the crack in the container itself? it almost looks like you shot the bubbels in a mirror which had a big scratch on it or something. well anyways, I like the lighting gradient.

Portrait of an Old Violin

Comment:
nice curves in the picture. two gripes. 1: too much contrast. Methinks you cranked it way up, and that's really not necessary. 2: nasty glare. try different lighting to get rid of that. I like the composition, though.

I like the composition, and you did a good job with a tricky exposure situation. good colors too.

Violin

great composition. I like the curves in the image contrasted with the straight lines of the strings. it looksl ike you may have cranked up the saturation in the shot. if you did, then perhaps you should reconsider. I think the natural colors in the violin could carry the image, and the muted colors might perhaps enhance the feeling of age.

Dirty.

Comment:
it is frequently frowned upon to place the center of interest in the direct center of the photograph, but in this shot, I think it happens to work very well. I always love it when someone breaks the rules and gets away with it. nice shot. I love the colors and the gritty feeling.

A good idea, and a nice shot of the cameras. my only suggestion would be to darken the image. it looks a tad overexposed right now, so you could fix that in post-processing or just redo the shot.

great composition and I like the lightness gradient. good contrast between detailed and plain.

A Crystalline Wonderland

I like this. it feels like I'm floating above a sea of blue clouds or something. nice effect. the only thing it needs is something to draw attention. what would be super cool is if there were a bright red object somewhere in the frame.
