 I like 5th place! This is a photo of my brother out in our backyard. He is an excellent cello player. This is a tribute to him!

Well done - looking at your Profile during the challenge, I thought this one belonged to you: similar palette. Lovely work. Glad that this image belongs to your family - it gives it even more charm.

I like the idea, but I would have liked to see stronger contrast. This just looks too dull and faded for me.

A touch more contrast would have made this KILLER. 9

who does this?

one of the few choices relating to school days, and a nice composition. I am less a fan of the desat.

I quite love this pciture! The toning down of the saturation is in a great example. And its in an awsome setting, good work! 8

beautiful composition the hills really balance out the guy playing the cello. I like the faded saturation but I think this could use just a tad more contrast. Lovely!

This is my favorite in the competition. Very nice, the title adds a lot too.

I like the desaturated look, beautiful
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/15/2007 08:20:01 AM
the desaturation is very effective here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/15/2007 07:49:38 AM
this is a good photo, a bit more detail in the sky would help.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Just love this setting and the ever so subdued sepia...wonderful!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I would have preferred greater color saturation for more impact. nice composition and idea
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/14/2007 03:51:23 PM
Needs more saturation. Great composition but it's missing something.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/14/2007 02:38:35 PM
I like the image but I would have liked it more at 640px width. Also if the sky was more dramatic it would have helped a lot too. Maybe a polorizer next time. Otherwise good job.

I think the perpective is very nice - with the randomness of the grass and the focus of the students face. I think it could have been improved a little with a bit more contrast to bring out the player and the cello.

It's nice to see that he was able to get into the field of music!

Lovely warm hues - nice set up and location. The dried,brown fields seem to resonate with the cello and its sound. lovely. Bumping to a 10 - my choice for top place.

colors seem a bit washed out ... really like the setting and composition though ...
