candle in the wind

that is the perfect way to show a wind blowen flame nice and clearly.. rotate a candle shoot and rotate the pic back
I think the problem with this shot is that the background is too close.. a black background further away would have isolated the flame much better
and the drip of wax is on the wrong side if the wind is blowing from the right... no drip would be better
but still worth a " 7 " good job

this is a brilliant photo. I have been looking at it for about 6 mins and have only just realized that it is the river thames and not a rain covered courtyard with a modern sculpture on it...the more I look the more I see. I love the overall coloring and the detail in the bridge support not to mention the main subject, the composition is perfect
have added it to my favs.. a well deserved 10

Anyone For Opera?

I was sooo going to take this shot, but was unable to get into town at the right time of the day
I had invissioned the shot with a slight different angle making the sails wider and shorter with more sky
I think this would be improved by saturating it more and bosting contrast... was the shot taken in the middle of the day? as it seems a little flat with very even midday sun, try this again just on sunset to get more shadow/deffintion in the curves of the sails +7

I love this shot..it has a timeless feel to it
but your post editing has let you down, mostly around the elbows where you have selected the background and not feathered the the selection all the way to the arm and part of her hair looks blown out too
this would be a 10 if you could fix these 2 things in a re-edit ~~ 9

I see you used f 22 and 10s what was the lighting to get the levels just right or was most of the levels done in post editing

love this my top pick for the challenge
but as someone else has posted I would love to see the same shot done in high key... heaven is suppose to be a light and airy place
with the wings and blonde hair and nice skin this would be a stunning high key shot
...please talk your model into a re-shoot please
