"Steps to championship" is a very good entry into the Complementary Colors challenge. I remember your shot during the voting because I spent some time reading the ribbons.
The over image is a very nice entry. Great choice of the yellow and purple for contrast, I also like your idea of having the ribbons climb it really ties well into the title. I would try to map out your ribbon placement so they are spaced out a little more evenly because you might have filled the space a little more, especially on the lower left hand side. Also I might try other lighting to balance out the shot. The flash is just a little too strong for the shot and takes away and created that funky hazy/shadow on the winning ribbon. Overall good idea. Also good idea to use the border to tie the shot all together.
You defiantly have the ideas and the skills so I always look forward to your entries, keep up the good work. |

| I would try to resist using direct flash whenever possible. It makes it much brighter in certain spots then others |

| I like this idea, and the colors blend well, as well as the matching border. I found myself squinting to read the ribbons tho. |

| I think you had a decent concept here. The reflections on the ribbons, especially on the wording in the 3rd one, take away. If they were all perfectly straight, it would have helped as well. 6 |

| Nice concept. Sharp contrast and focus. It looks as if the flash bleached out a little yellow in the upper right but otherwise, this is a great shot. |

| 4 - Like the colors. Better 'symmetry' and balance, 'ironing' of the ribbons, would have made this better in my opinion. Harder to read the third 'label', perhaps because of harsh lighting/flash. Ultimately, unless you do something really unusual with this, in my opinion, this shot is going to be a colorful shot of four bird show ribbons... which for the viewer does not mean the same as likely does for you. |
