Nice shot, but a bit oversharpened or oversaturated?

Between the Earth and the Air Exists Wind
by m_sarzynski

Comment:
Oh this is nicer than I thought. First view was a 5. But second time through I like the way you've composed this, with three windmills facing one way set off by the fourth facing opposite, and a nice exposure on the sky. Would have liked to see more detail in the foreground or a stronger fade to black, but this is still nice. Bumping up to a 6

Nice sunset scene, strange title. Nothing that makes it pop above the ordinary -- just a pretty ordinary pretty picture. 5

Wind Resistant

Comment:
Ordinary shot of a boring subject, but nothing to evoke any kind of reaction from the viewer. Flame is a bit overexposed. Your technicals are good. Try to find more interesting subjects to work with. 5

Speedy Fire

Nice shot, but there's no wow factor for me here since this kind of image is done to death on DPC. I originally gave you a 5, but on second look I can't really justify that compared to the competition so bumping you up to a 6

Earth Shaper

Good idea and rich tones. The composition pulls this down for me ... with the horizon line where it is, the sky competes too much with the sand for attention, and there's nothing up there but the color to hold my interest. I would have liked this better with a lower angle, even lying on the ground, looking straight up one of the wind furrow, with a smaller ribbon of sky at the top. 5

- Water, Water, Everywhere -

Nice scene, but not enough interest in the water to carry the image, and seems a bit too contrasty for my taste. 4

Earth and Water

Nice scene, but the angle is uninteresting. Shooting from beach level rather than the bluffs above (if access was available) would improve this a lot. Focus is a bit soft, and you've lost some detail in the rocks there. Try boosting the exposure to bring out more detail -- in-camera meters always seems to underexpose scenes like this because of the amount of light reflecting off the water. 4

Reflections of Narnia

Nice shot, but I've seen it one too many times in recent challenges -- that brings it down a bit for me, and prevents it from really popping. As compared with the other recent shots (which may or may not be yours), I don't think this is as good because there's not great definition between the trees or as interesting lines and forms to carry the composition -- this one is all about the processing technique, and that alone isn't enough to carry the day for me. 5.

Field of flowers

Nice scene, but kind of bland. A strong point of interest in the foreground -- bush, tree, animal -- would help, as would moving the horizon line upp or down -- the beautiful colors in the scene compete for attention with the interesting sky. 5
