Just the 2 of us

Great shot! I was looking for one of these myself. I snapped about 20 pictures of swans but couldn't get them to "pose" as nicely as you did. The other water fowl in the background is a nice touch as well! My only criticism is that the colors on the swans seems a bit dull. I would have liked to seen this picture with the contrast increased slightly to really bring out the whiteness of the swans. (I had this same problem with my swan shots, and I couldn't find one that really *wowed* me).

Great textures and colors! One of my highest rated this competition. The only thing lacking for me is the composition. The number is there right in front of you and it doesn't leave anywhere for the eye to wander - my eye wants to follow the grain of the sandstone to the upper left but is disappointed when the picture ends. This is personal preference though, so congrats on a great shot!

Oh, I'm jealous! I was looking all over for a shot like this, to no avail. You've found a perfect one! Great technical work and I love the composition.

This is a great shot.. The use of B&W hides the numbers and the adition of "RayMond" gives the shot the needed human presence. I laughed (and groaned) when I saw this - not many pictures tickle me like this. Congratulations!

How did this end up way down here? Too artistic, I suppose. Never-the-less, it's on my favorites list now!

I really like this photo, but once again, I think the borders detract. They draw too much of the focus away from the main subject and detract from the leading lines. Just my opinion tho!

Which came first?

Great concept but the border distracts from the picture, I keep wanting to see more of the surrounding area. Also, would have liked that right egg in the frame. Great camera work otherwise!

Humpty Dumpty on the wall

Simple and effective. The lines of the stairs and 'wall' give the picture much interest. The inclusion of the wood(?) on the bottom left is a bit distracting, though not too much since it follows the lines of the stairs in the background. Good job!

Even though the focus is a bit blurry and there's a weird artifcact to the left of the egg, the choice to rotate the picture so the eggshell is vertically oriented makes this stand out from the other cracked egg pictures. 7.. if it had been in focus it would have been a 10
