Great stop action! Must have a heck of a lens to have gotten this shot! Easily the best sports photo this week -- and one of my favorites so far. Great job! muckpond

Fading Factories in the Mountains

Comment:
The shots of color are nice, but it doesn't seem like any one part of this photo is in focus. Perhaps focusing more on the factory (and blurring the leaves in the foreground even more) would have more oomph to it. muckpond

Voters Fund Nature Preserve, Reject Development

Great colors in this photo. Without the title it could be a lot of things...a flood, a duck pond (or muck pond! ha ha). I wish there was something in the photo that anchored it -- like some wildlife or a boat -- nothing big, but just somewhere for the viewer's eye to zip to. muckpond

I think this would be better if you could see the sign he's holding. Or if he was looking toward traffic instead of the camera. Great camera work, though. muckpond.

Colorado Drought 2002

The light is very bright, which distracts somewhat. This is a great topic for the challenge, though. I wonder if a shot that shows more dried out ground and some of the horizon might have more impact. Without the title (and, granted, almost every photojournalist-type photo would have a title or caption), this could be a close-up of skin cells or something. There's not much visual indication that this is dried-out ground. muckpond

Femme-Tech

Unfortunately, not being able to spot-edit or spot-colorize left quite a jagged line between the color and the b/w. If there had been a way to soften that a little bit so it wasn't so harsh, this would have been a much nicer photo. As it is, it almost looks like the bra is pasted on.

Gone Awry

Welcome to my world. Did you crash a machine on purpose for this shot? Probably wasn't too hard to do....

What an excellent photo! Oh, if only the color was not shifted so yellow!

This would have been a better shot if it had been straight on and if you were able to darken out the background/base more.

The shot of color from the leaves is excellent.
