Here Comes the Sun

if had you had the resources (maybe somebody patient enough to stand around while you were shooting), it would have been nice to place a solid background behind the icicle, for purpose of simplicity. the shallow dof helps keep attention on the icicle, but the background is still semi-distracting due to it's 'unsimple' nature.

just a hint...

the border seems a bit distracting. i like the effort on the lighting to truly define the shape (i'm guessing a tea kettle?) of the object.

very nice. i think the birds add a LOT to this photo, as it wouldn't be quite as expressive without them.

creative perspective, as i\'m guessing this is truly just a rectangular building of some sort (or am i wrong?). despite the wonderful perspective involved, it just doesn\'t really catch my eye though. unfortunately, i think it\'s a result of the bland sky. i guess with these winter months, gray skies are about all many people have to work with anymore.

very beautiful lighting and approach to the shot, although i'm not quite sure i like the border.

The Big Wheel

i really like the idea, but wonder if a perspective without the trees would have been possible. also, unless buses (or trailers?) are common, it might\'ve been nice to reshoot it without the taillights of the tall vehicle streaking through the middle, imho.

looks so fake - not sure why.. i think it\'s the textures. makes it hard to believe that this is more photograph than photoshop, but i\'ll give you the benefit of the doubt.

in light of the last challenge - some soft focus here might have helped.. a little too much detail in the skin for me.

in my opinion, it would be slightly stronger if they were more level, and if the shadow underneath the bottom one were visible. also, i don't think the black border works too well with the subject, but who knows.

lovely image and use of soft focus. the reflections are beautiful and i like how buoys in the back seem slightly more covered by the fog (?). the triangle formed is interesting. i want to say a tighter crop might have been nice.. but on the other hand, the feeling of emptiness is good for this photo.. nice work.
