I like this. Nice colors and I like the narrow depth of field.

Thoughts For Sale - artist in her gallery
by cislander

Comment:
Love the colors. I think it would be better if she were looking at the art rather than at the camera because, as it is, it gives the impression that it is a picture of a woman and a dog posing near some art, rather than a picture depicting something "For Sale." Nice picture, though.

Selling my music on the streets

I like the picture a lot. Would hit harder on the "For Sale" theme if we could see his collection jar.

Scavenger

Love most of the picture; but that head on the left is distracting. The guy has interesting features that cause me to ponder, but then the eyes on that damn haunted/possessed head suck my gaze right in and I have to pull away to look at what I'm really interested in in the picture. Love the weathered wood and the old budweiser can. Get rid of that damn head and I'll give you a 10!

Really nice photo, but she seems too pretty for this to work for me. I see a beautiful model covered in dirt for a photo. The eyes are striking.

You nailed the celebration of life. Very nice photo, too.

Exhilaration

Love it! This truly fulfills the challenge of capturing an image that CELEBRATES life. There were some incredible images in this challenge that I would normally give a 10 to, but which lacked the celebrational aspect. Yours nailed it. I hope you ribbon. I'm giving you one of only three 10s I'm giving this time.

Handfull of New Life

Really nice! I hope you ribbon. Unlike some other pics of animals that were also technically superb, this one distinguishes itself by meeting the "celebratory" requirement of the challenge through, in this case, the image of the older human hands cradling the new life in a protective way. For me, the gentle protection equates to value which implies celebration. Very nice. One of very few 10s I'm giving this time.
