Romeo & Juliet Love Theme (A Time for Us)

Just a quick thought on why I didn't score this a 10. Excellent composition. Perfect focus and DOF. The color cast bothers me though. I don't think I'd really like it with bright white, black, and red, but I'm not crazy about the pinks either so...

Loved those signs in London - very helpful b/c I ALWAYS look left!! Great idea .. coulda been executed a bit better as I can't really read it like this.

At the Rivers Bend

Tough competition on this challenge AND it isn't the best season for landscape shots around here. I think you found a decent location but maybe not the perfect composition. I like the blue in the sky. I'm sure you know about the silly rule of thirds and I think that it would help if you had something in one of those intersections. There isn't really a focal point for me. The bank and river lines go back into the shot and the point where they converge - far down river - would be a good point to place in one of the intersections. You'd have to change your location/perspective though. Basically, you have all these nice lines created by the trees, but they are all just leading out of the frame instead of leading you TO something. I don't see any obvious technical problems though. That's good. Once you have the technical aspects down, you can focus more on the creative and compositional side of photography.

A Parrot Heads Delight

f8.5 gave you a surprisingly good blur on the background. I actually thought of this song but, since I don't live anywhere near paradise, decided I couldn't do it justice. I WOULD rather see more light on the burger since it is the subject. The BK wrapper is very annoying. I imagine it more with a little tropical umbrella drink and a really nice plate.
My first thought when I saw this was "where's the beef"? That's a LOT of cheese, and I'm not really sure that you needed that much extra to make it a cheeseburger. I like the crop and the placement of the burger. I don't think you need the frame.
My mom loved JB.

Good grief! I just checked to see where you placed and am really surprised how low it is. I should be able to find more wrong with this shot, huh? :oP Maybe the moral is that hamburgers don't have a lot of wow value with dpc voters (apparently neither do worms by the way). I think you shoulda used the song title as the photo title for sure. Those "does not meet challenge" votes will kill ya. *lol* Read the other comments & I'm not the only one wondering if there's more than just cheese on that burger.

The Hill In Infrared

Love the lighting. It's such a dramatic, strong image of (what I consider) rather boring subjects. They ARE very nice houses but ... I wouldn't mind living there anyway.

The Ridge

Very pretty. I really like the hills and the inclusion of the green in the foreground is great. A little less light, giving more definitiion to the hills, would be nice.

Place of stillness

If you're gonna stick that sign in there then I think you shouldn't have cropped up so high so that it's just floating. The mountains are really cool. I think maybe you could have used a perspective from more to the right that would show the ridge better and the mountains in the distance.

My town

This looks like a cool place. I'd like to see more of the repeating roof lines in the bottom of the shot and a little less sky.

Interesting contrast between natural beauty and man. Lovely colors. Could stand a tad more exposure or light.
