| Great story telling blur; helps to have the stationary young girl in the pic, and her head position adds to the story. |

| Of your duckpond images this one is the one I like best. There's so much to hold my interest and the portrayal of mood is wonderful. I think the posture of the figure adds so much to this. |

| You have to share credit with the ducks. They swam perfectly for you. A ballet of ducks. Someone should make a ballet about a lake full of ... oh, never mind. |

| Ben, your pinhole at 6400ISO shots are wonderful. Just the right amount of soft blurry noise. |

| Wonderful mood and feel. I like how you "muted" this scene (which was probably rather busy in real life) with your interpretation. |

Yup there's the blue hand... :) Oddly I appreciated it enough for a 7. These images are growing on me, like a fungus :)
If you ever win a challenge with a pinhole shot how are you going to validate it? :) Email them a picture of the tin foil with needle hole? hehe. |

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: Ben, I know this is yours but I'm not letting that exclude me from commenting or scoring. I love how relaxed this is - it makes me what to take a deep breath; it feels like a warm evening. The blurry ducks are amazing - just enough form to remain coherent. I'm particularly fond of the trees in the background and how they seem to be illuminated. Of course, your daughter is so important. Like a catalyst, I feel she doesn't take an active role in the image but none of it would work if she were absent.
Critical stuff: I'm not sure I like that lighter area below the wall of the left edge of the frame.
Overall: Marvellously understated stuff. |

| Was it meant to be this out of focus? It's not bad, it actually works well I find. |
