Love the idea! You maybe could have gotten a picture of her taking a picture of something, like she was taking it to enter IN a challenge. I like the background, there is shadow, but not overwhelming shadow. Great focus, overall nice photo. Good luck in the challenge.

New Haircut!

The lighting is a little weird on this one. the subject is all about the new haircut, but you can't really see much hair. the idea is great, and I like how the scissors are shiny. The angle is good. Good luck with the challenge.

Canary Wharf Underground Station, Opened 1999

Not being familiar with Wharfs, I looked this up and I think I found a site related to this Canary Wharf. It helped me to understand exactly what I was looking at and realized that this is probably an escalator. At first I thought it might be a bit dark, but when I tried lightening it up a bit, I noticed that it looked like there was someone standing in the large dark strip to the left and figured you darkened it up a bit to make that person kind of dissapear. I also notice lots of people over on the far left. That's why I thought it was an escalator. Hard to tell though without being able to see the individual stairs in the dark vertical grooves. The roof/ceiling is beautiful. I bet it casts some really cool shadows when the suns just right. This is a nice angle. Good shot and good luck in the challenge.

Tired of Waiting

I like this photo a lot. It looks like it could be in a calendar or something. The only think that could make it slightly better would bet to level off the shelf with the picture. It's only slightly crooked, but with the contrast of the dark blue background to the white shelf, it kind of stands out more than it normally would. I know you were trying to get that white bears foot in there hanging off the edge a bit, but I think that because of the dark background on top, the white background on bottom shouldn't be showing, or should also be dark to enhance the overall balance. I like how the little brown bear just to the left of the white bear is cuddling with the white bear. Really gives the "awwww" feeling. There seems to be another white bear behind and to the right of the centered white bear and they kind of blend in with each other. The other bears are staggered in different colors and I like that, you can individually see each and every bear due to the different colors. Either no bear, or a dark bear would stand out better in place of the white bear in the back. This gives me an extreme sense of "new" and I'm giving it a high rating. More indirectly, the main focus is the white bear, and surrounding him with darker bears adds to the newness of the white bear by making him stand out. He kind of screams I'M NEW LOOK AT ME! And white being a stereotypical "new" color further adds to this. Great job and good luck in the challenge.

Taking The Lead

I really like this due to the fact that I can't figure out if it was staged to look that way, or if for some freak of nature, it ended up growing that way, and how did you find it if it naturally grew that way. Very clever and a great depiction of something new. Excelent job! Congrats and good luck.

This is pleasing to look at. Looks like an ad that would be in a magazine. However, the card seems to be in better focus than the rings. Still a really great photo. Great job and good luck in the challenge.

And spider webs pop up just that fast too. Seems like you go to bed and when you wake up, there's webs everywhere. You caught the web nicely and the background is very pleasing with all the different colors. Congrats and good luck with the challenge.

This little guy is adorable. The photo was taken very nicely and is of great quality. Can actually almost see the individual hairs on his belly. Portrays "new" very well. Only thing that would have been nice is if the tree wasn't in front of his back leg. Of course, I know how cooperative those baby deer can be, so I wont go so far as to be that picky. You did a wonderful job of getting the deer in the photo to begin with. You're doing 100% times better than me on that one. I can't even get a good photo of a giraffe practically licking me on the nose! I don't think animals like me much, never seem to stand still at all. Great job on the shot, and good luck in the challenge.

The birth of.....

Not having a particular religious preference, I wasn't aware what the things on top of the testament were. I thought they were carrots, or strange roots. It wasn't until after I asked someone that they told me they were candles. I wish we could see the entire charm on the end of the chain. The lighting is very good. The reference to something new is clear (however the testament it's self is really old) I do like the angle, but think it should be a little wider to show more detail. Good luck in the challenge.

Dew
by Swashbuckler

Dew in the morning. Not only is that a "new" thing, but the little pine tree also looks "new". nice angle, pretty colors, and great lighting. the focus varries. in some spots it's really sharp and in some it's softer. I know the background is suposed to be soft, but it's the main needles that are varried. Not sure if this is because of the dew, or what, but the top needles seem sharper than the bottom needles. Good luck in the challenge.
