Deep DOF, Leading Lines, Long Exposure, Priceless....
by Magnumphotography

Comment:
I think you used a too long exposure on this one. The use of long exposure in shots like this, is meant to emphasize the motion of the water. Here the water lookes freezed and unnatural.

A very artistic, moody shot with a good execution of the mentioned techniques. Welldone

Centered Composition-Motion Panning-Tilted Angle

Comment:
Wow! motion panning AND tilted angle! I hope you didn't get a hernia ;-)
Welldone. The biker is nicely in focus. Composition works great for me. I think this is technically a very well executed shot and I'm curious about the camera settings.

Touch o'Green (Portrait,RuleOfThirds,ShallowDOF)

Great shot! One of the best portraits i saw in this challenge. Nice contrast between the green and the red. I also love the expression on her.
Also the unconventional composition works very well. Well executed and very creative!

Backlit, Centered, Portrait of a Pink Girl Feeling Blue.

Uhm... backlit??
Nice, well executed portrait with a story. Like the expression, and hope that she got a really big icecream afterwards ;-) I'm not a fan of pink, though, but that's my subjective opinion off course.

Deep DOF-Long Exposure-Rule of Thirds
by Len Scap

Comment:
Is that moonlight reflecting on the top of the mountains, or is it still light of the setting sun? Nice comp, although I wonder if an other point of view could have worked even better here. The right side (shore and pieces of iron?) don't add much interest and even degrade the moody atmosphere you've got here.

Portrait/Blur/Rule of Thirds... her name is Amber

Comment:
A portrait with a wow factor! I just love the shiny colors and detail in the medallion. I also like the selective sharpness, although it shows that they're not naturally out of focus area's but manually blurred in PS.
The effect and impact of an image is what counts for me, not the way it is achieved. Welldone!

Nice abstract. I don't think it will score high here, but I'll help a bit ;-)

Backlighting, Light On White, Soft Focus
by dtremain

Comment:
Not a very interesting object imo. Maybe it would have worked better when lit. I also don't see the soft focus. The shadows and the bottom of the jar are noisy (or is it jpg artifacts?). The color in the shadows and the wax also don't work for me (blue, red in the shadows, yellow in the wax; did you use different kinds of light sources?). It maybe would have turned out better if you had turned it into monotone.

Centered Composition, Portrait, Shallow DOF . . . Just Plain Happy!

Comment:
Yes, he looks happy and relaxed. Nice portrait, but I'm not completely sure if the shallow DOF (especially the o.o.f part of the fence in front) adds value to this kind of image.
