Reflection of days end
by togtog

Comment:
I would like to thank everyone for their comments. The way I made the above picture was; I took a new picture of my brothers bedroom window from outside. I then cut out the glass parts, and added the sunset photo (that I took a few months ago) as the layer under that. I then blurred the edges of the window panes to blend them with the sunset, so it didn't look as edited. I then darkened the bottom two panes in another layer to look like the screen, and added the fogging in yet another layer. I think the over all look is pleasing and what I wanted, but I wish I would have rotated the sunset slightly to align it better.

Thank you again for your helpful comments, I hope to learn from them and do better the next time. Cheers!

Life inside the Frame

Nice use of a border that adds to the frame she is holding. I think the white part of the border should have been removed though as it is only visible in the corner. It conflicts with the lack of a white inside edge on the frame she is holding. 6

Square line tiles

Comment:
Hmm, this doesn't seem visually appealing to me. The DOF is too short here. While the center is in focus the edges are drawing my eye from it. Sorry, 5

Sound Works

Comment:
This is very pretty, I love the glowing effect. Seems it could have gained from a slightly longer DOF, little fuzzy in the back. While pretty, and square it doesn't capture me the way some of the other photos today have, sorry. 6

Fifteen?

I love this, the reflection makes it look like two sets of pieces stacked on the surface yet it is only one. The colors compliment each other perfectly too. I'm not sure if I understand the title however. 7

Dry Docked on the Bathroom Floor

Comment:
Are the tiles in this the squares? The toy boats seem to be more the subject. Also that glare from the floor is distracting.

I would like to thank all of you for your comments on this photo. I found most of them helpful. As for the contrast I'm not sure what exactly happened, I'm sure it was brighter then this, but my original is dark too (d'oh!). I will try to be more careful in the future. This was a difficult challenge, I hope to have better luck next time.

Cheers!

Yes, togtog did indeed screw up the photo by playing with the contrast settings in Paintshop with a misconfigured monitor. Oh poo...

If not for the motion blur this would be an interesting photo. 5

I can't make out what this is supposed to be, from the title I would say a scab but it doesn't look like that to me, sorry. - togtog
