Hmmm.. this looks familiar. I think I know who the subject (and thus the photographer) is. I really like the light down the right side of his torso, but I would have liked to see a bit more lighting to highlight the shape of his back.

The lighting here is choice. The soft tones of her skin and the subtle greys, blues, and whites go together nicely. Composition is excellent, I love that you have her in such a straight line on the diagonal. Almost like she's seperating the dark from the light. Brilliant!

Calamity In 1881

This is just good. It nails the challenge topic but isn't an easy photo to 'get'. If you take the time to look, the realization of how bad this must have been hits you. What happened to this family? Was it disease? What about the parents?

Good shot. 10.

Zero spot editing. How?

It's magic, isn't it? Great shot, tones, and focus.

Letsee.. My guess would be two big storms, high tide, and two fires. Does that cover it? *grin*

Good shot. Like the sepia toning.

Hi Steinr,
This is a wonderful architectural photo and it caught my eye during the voting, however I was one of those that wasn't quite happy with how off center it was. While it is off-center, it doesn't feel off-conter, and I think that was a major part of this challenge. I think this would have fared much better if the left side was cropped close to the building. To me, this feels more center, even though it's more centered technically. Hmm.. I hope this is making some sense. Anyway, everything else on the shot works, I like the little patch of green on the right and the blueness of the sky. There are some parts of the photo that are a bit too over-exposed for me, but it's not enough to detract majorly from the shot.

Hope this helps and good luck in future challenges!

Hi Magnus,
This is nice example of stopped motion and it meets the challenge well, but it's not an exciting photo. The house in the background is distracting, I would have perferred to see a tighter crop with no house.

All in all, a nice photo but not a great one.

There's a reason you're tops in my statistically favorite photographer list and this is it. I gave this a pure and unreserved 10 - you make the ivy look dangerous and alive. Good job.

I love this. Brilliant! 1.


ok. I'm just kidding. this is definitely a 10. It looks like it's a drawing, a really black sketch. Almost out of a cartoon. I love the textures. It's all good!
