Great colours through the sky Terry, and use of the powerlines to lead through the image and be a feature rather than a distraction. they lead you straight to the most interesting part of the sky which works really well.....

Kel, he's running the wrong way.......... :P. Must be north of the border where they run the other way around the track........

A great sharp capture of the finish........a little tight on the crop for me cause there is nowhere for them to move into.........Also, a quick run through of some noise reduction software could get rid of the noise in the background too...............

They're Everywhere
by pixelpig

Comment:
They are everywhere, but I think that is part of the problem here. The tree is what grabs the attention, and the branches in front of the house means that the house is a secondary thing.........the parallel lines are not really a feature

Black and white is way better Terry. Makes the stonework a feature of the image, whereas the colours seemed to dominate the colour version. The contrasts between the different stone shades and the mortar really works well. Also means the patchy grass isn't noticeable. haven't you been getting the recent rains?

river gums

Comment:
Kel, first question is where abouts is this........I enjoy seeing the different locations, and especially phtos of back home cause i am stuck in cold, wet England at the moment............

The haloing is a detraction in the image. Would have been great had you been able to process and avoid the haloing........I tend to play around a lot with my images, and often get the colouring I like, and then go back from the start and reproduce it while making sure I avoid any major halos
The black and white is good. The large tree to the right though totally dominates the image, which means the row of gums on the far side, and their reflections in the river get missed a lot...........If you could have moved a little further back, then the gum, while still there (
cause it has a place) would then not dominated as much, you would have added some more trees from the far bank and then it would have worked really well.............

Week 6 - Oak in Snow
by jasonlprice

Comment:
Another person being wacked with snow at the moment

Very subtle, works really well with the white scene, just having the Oak slightly darker and removing all black from the image........very nicely done

Comment:
Very Abstract, extremely shallow depth of field, something I would normally dislike...............but

For some reason this really does appeal to me. Maybe it is because you have managed to capture both white and black, and many shades in between, without having either the white nor the black dominate the image........maybe it is the subtle flow of the image with the diagonal lines through it, and that each time you look at the image something else draws your eye.............

whatever it it, it works

Raindrops

"Raindrops keep falling on my head.......but that doesn't mean my eyes will still be turning red"

Abstract, which is what I think this challenge did need. Sorry about the song, but that is what jumped straight into my head.......Love the composition, the black band and the two areas of colour work so well......this composition works brilliantly.............not voting cause I am in the challenge, but you have one of the better images for the Challenge description
