Extremely well captured nature shot. The atonalities are wonderful. The dof is perfect. The framing of this animal by the branches. Good job portraying a difficult fairy tale.

Snow White

Absolutely wonderful! The green eyes (jealousy), the blue eyes (innocent), the evil sneer captured at a perfect angle. This is just stunning!!!!

I am looking forward to your explanation of how you did this, my family and I have been arguing over the potential process ever since this came on the screen.

A well-deserved 10! And I sincerely hope a ribbon, as well.

Really clever attempt at the abstract. I just don't get that "wow" factor from this.

The Little Red Hat

You know, this is the third time I've looked at this shot in full screen and it's the first time I've seen the "wolf." I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. The hyper-bright coloring of the doll causes eveything else to blend together...which is probably why I didn't see the wolf until now.

You probably could've left the doll out altogether and had a stunning photo (with some brightening of the foliage.)

The Frog Prince

The angle of this makes it really hard to feel the entire story. Your model has a great expression on her face, but since you are level (or perhaps slightly higher) then her head...it is getting lost. Also, my eyes are drawn to the negative space above her arm. I'm not sure if that is because the colors of everything else all demand attention and my brain can't process them all at once, or if that is just where the focal point is.

I can tell that you and your model had loads of fun with this though...and isn't enjoyment one of the reasons why you do this? :)

Crater Lake

Interesting that you chose this vista. Not the one most often presented. I'm surprised there is no snow up there (unless this is not the Crater Lake in Oregon...one of the 7 natural wonders of the world)! :)

The Barn

Nicely done! My eyes actually saw the red of the barn and the gold of the wheat. Perhaps a smidge more cropping on the left, but otherwise a wonderful attempt at this challenge.

This seems a little grainy...if that was your intent, then you absolutely nailed it on the head. I feel all disjointed when I look at this, perhaps the blanket is a bit too much, or maybe because the lines aren't straight.

Inside Looking Out

I'm not really sure that sepia actually meets the description of the photo must be in black & white. Interesting photo, though. I realize this was probably taken at a fair or some other festival, but the tent supports don't really add much to this, imo.

Oops - DNMC! Really stunning floral, though.
