Peter the Puffin
by vawendy

Comment:
Well, I think that this is probably Wendy's. What I like:
the ratio is good for a coffee table book
the black spine extension works
the tonal ranged the colour and style of lettering
Good DOF for the puffin, sharp nearly throughout (just losing it on the most distended part of the belly).

What I am not so keen on:
The title is a bit naff - or at least, the Peter the Puffin part
I am pretty sure you have a better photo of a puffin than this - or at least, one with a cleaner belly. The puffin is sharp, including the critical tip of the bill. Shame the sandal isn't facing the camera more.

All in all a good entry, but not amongst my top picks.

Sandy Stone's Homestead

I really like this very much, and would love to see more of your images in this style - looking forward to seeing whose work it is. In terms of this challenge, I love everything about your submission, with the exception of the ratio - for a novel, it seems a tad wide. 9.

Oh, this is really very good. My second 10 of the challenge. I particularly like the way you have included the softly opaque skyline.

Destination Unknown

Comment:
The base photograph is good, placement in the frame works well, but don't go a bundle on the lettering.

Delicate Textures

A perfect marriage of background and subject - indeed the subject isn't really the rose, but the image as a whole.

Desolation's Rest Stop

Comment:
Desolate, indeed. That you can invoke such feelings through little more than tones and colour is a testament to just how good this is.

Dictyophorus Spumans

Comment:
Excellent depth of field, with the entire insect in focus - shame about the bit of twig in the foreground, but I am being picky. I think that I would have liked something included to show scale - it looks huge here!

Swamp at Sundown, Early Autumn

Comment:
Absolutely fascinating - I have no idea if this is a drone shot of an actual swamp, or an abstract image with lichens - and it really doesn't matter! I could look at this for hours. 10.

Excellent depth of field - spot on for the image.
