The Stopologist

Voted earlier, just coming back to comment. I immediately hear/think the word stop when I look at this. However, I wish either all of the guy or at least his hand was in focus. The hand, to me, is what is saying the word the stop. Personally, I feel the whistle is more of a sound/noise than actual language. 6

I forgot to add comments when I uploaded the photo and now I can't figure out how to go back and add them....

This is a favorite of mine because this is her - bright, colorful, loud and always wearing mismatching things. Her skin and hair are very fair and can be a challenge for me, and on this day, I felt that I had finally gotten them right without being too overexposed.

Post challenge comments -

Thank you for all of the comments and suggestions! Based on some of the comments, I'm guessing my monitor is a little darker than everyone's though. :)

I can see why this would be one of your favorites! Nice job on the b&w conversion, lighting and keeping the details of her scarf from being overexposed.

A Fleeing Storm

I think the bottom 2/3 of this photo is gorgeous with the fall colors, lighting, and the different layers and textures that the rocks, stream and tall grasses add. As for the top 1/3, I wish there was more detail and depth to the clouds.

Very nice and crisp. I also like the DOF and the pale blue sky provides just the right color of backdrop. Very well done!

I really like the colors, the silhouettes of the trees and that there is some added interest in the water with the rocks and moss, however, I wish it was cropped just to the right of the large, dark object on the left.

Just Before Sunrise

Great colors! I like how the trees are still green instead of being so dark that they look black. And I like that little pop of blue on the building. The only thing that is throwing me off though, is that the reflection of the clouds doesn't seem to match up to the actual clouds.

A spectacular view! I like the deep, rich colors and how the green is a nice contrast to all of orange/rust/red colors.
