This made me smile. The pic 8tself is very good in many other ways.

I'm of a mixed opinion on the strong magenta in her skin tones. On one hand it makes her look a bit feverish/processed, and on the other hand, it creates a nice visual link to the flower.

Same goes for the hue of her eyes with the flower.

Fortunately there's a fairly heavy hand on the vignetting that makes it obvious that the picture is 'worked on', so it's likely that a good chunk of that is that way because of choice.

I like it a fair bit, but just shy of a 10t.

Reflection - National Theater

That's really cool (tiberius?). It's not just the reflection, it's also the color of the sky and how it matches the colors in the theater. Great stuff (whoever it may be).

What amazing colors! (I know I know... "oooh what an amazingly original comment" that's what everybody else said too probably, but it's TRUE!)

"Kissed by the wind"

IMO, the use of negative space is effective here, but could have been more effective in a full square crop. Why? because the nature of the flower is round, so providing a frame for what 'could' have been there emphasizes what is missing even more. Again that's IMO. And this crop is not uneffective at all.

had a lot of lag loading this pic. I preferred it with the bottom 10% sliced off as this really put more emphasis on the balloons and the sky.

There's a precious expression in the dog's face. This would be better if it were cropped down to place the dog's eyes on the top third with just a small patch of light in the top right hand corner. This accentuates the eyes/face/expression and would increase the DPC display size.

Outstanding. To see a spider with prey is one thing, but mantises must move quickly.

excellent capture of mr lion, but would have benefited from one of those 'highly dramatic vignetting' treatments imho. Also a very slight crop down.
