Daddy Long Legs

I like the roughness and the ray of light. It looks like he is holding a flashlight. That leads me to think that it would have been wonderful if there was something of interest that had been lit by his flashlight. Good idea, but I think you missed an opportunity to make a great picture. The elements are all there, but not arranged for the best effect.

Moody and mysterious. Fits the title.

"Are you my mother?"

OK. I am giving you a 1. It's not because I think your picture is not pretty. It's not because I think your picture is shocking. It's because I think you do not understand the value of life, the tenderness of being or the dignity of death. In other words, all you did was point your camera down on a dead object and snapped a picture. You didn't even take the time to compose this.

Call of the Wild

It looks like her ears are tipped, like she is listening for that call. There are a lot of artifacts that destroy the clarity of the photo. I know a lot of voters want to see large pictures, but I feel that it's better to have a smaller picture that is clear than a larger one with the squiggles. You just can't win sometimes.

Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born

The toning is good. The idea is good. The focus is good. I don't like how all the white is blown out. There should be a lot of texture in there that I'm longing to see.

The Long Road Home (by Danielle Steel)

Comment:
Good perspective and the curve adds interest. The clouds are pretty, but, I think, since the road is the interest in the picture, it would be better if you had moved the horizon up in the frame.

Reflections on Eternity

Very well done. I love it when symetrical things are photographed with precision. The perspective is unique. The blue confuses the brain, inviting the viewer to pause and discover if this is water or glass.

I'm not voting on this one. The levels of focus are well seen in this image. The cropping and composition pleasing. It makes me think of hands raised to heaven. The graves work to futher this theme. It looks oversharpened. I think I would like this even better if it was darker. I would have given you an 8 for this.

Go Sigma! You thought yours would get bad scores? I laughed when I saw you were the photographer for this one.
I'm happy to be somewhere in the top 50. Good luck on your future entries. I know you will be pulling in the blue soon.

Great shot Deannda. I'm glad it did so well for you. It was one of my favorites.
