Like a llama...or an Emu

Adorable! Very cute photo, and it's well composed. I like the duotone, and the framing seems to suit the subject well. My only complaint is that it looks perhaps slightly oversharpened, but that could just be the grain of the photo, which I like. Nice job!

Lovely. The choice of black and white for this was a good one. The lighting is perfect for the scene - nothing is too deeply shadowed or blown out. Excellent work - 10

The warm light really gives this one atmosphere - it's inviting, peaceful, and very pleasing to the eye. Gorgeous view, DOF is perfect, and the composition is excellent. 10

Absolutely gorgeous. This is the sort of photo I've tried so hard to take along the coast, and I've just never managed. Beautiful work. 10

Stunning. One of my favourites in this challenge - everything is so crisp and clear, and the scenery is absolutely gorgeous. The subject matter and the title tie together to make it moving as well. The green toning is interesting - I wouldn't have thought of it myself, but it seems to suit the photo. Fabulous job - 10

Beautiful! I love the warm tones in this; it really gives the photograph a nice, comfortable feeling while still remaining exotic.

I think this would have looked nicer without the heavy green tones - maybe even in black and white or toned to a sepia. It feels a tad neon with the green highlights overpowering the sunshine that's breaking through the trees; some curves and a touch of sharpening would also improve the appeal. With those minor changes, though, this would be a fantastic photo. The scenery is well framed and it has a very balanced feel about it.

OK! OK!

The idea is very clever, but there are a couple of things that stop this from being an interesting image for me: the textured white item behind the red box, the blue foreground, and the position of the hand. I closer crop on the upper half would probably have balanced it out more in the absence of more hand to the left side; as it is, it feels like too much hand is missing and too much finger is visible. A white foreground and background (or any colour, but it would look nice if the foreground and background matched) would also have made this feel less like a snapshot - it might also look nice in black and white, or maybe a selective desat with only red showing. Overall, while I think this one could be improved, the idea is very clever, and it does meet the challenge well.

This is one of my favourites in the challenge. The vivid colours contrasting with the neutral tones surrounding the glass, the clarity, the textures and symmetry - all of it is fantastic. Beautifull framed. Wonderful job! 10
