Title: "colors of the heart", by gisele

Composition: A simplistic subject well placed in the frame of the picture. Being a set up shot the blue color seems a bit dark.


Technical: you have good exposure and focus on the subject, even with the slight angle of the shot you have controlled the depth of field to keep all of the image in sharp focus. The dust specks of foreign matter on the white portion is very distracting. I can't see that it is necessary for this shot.


Challenge: you have definitely met the challenge and were on the right track for a win here. It seems to me that splashy, vibrant pictures do well on DPC.


Suggestions: My main suggestion would be to mix some white into both the blue and yellow to lighten them up. It looks as though your lighting, or post processing has taken the impact out of the colors you have presented. At least on my computer they appear dull and not as bright as they need to be to make them POP.

Keep up the nice original work, and thanks for sharing it with DPC.

Very nice indeed! Simple composition, good use of color, and abstract enough to make it almost mysterious. I like it. Reminds me a bit of a bird in flight.

I like the three-dimensional quality of this.

Very nice abstract. The speckles fo paint outside the main subject are a little bothersome and a little more saturation of the colors would make this picture stunning.

Oh no it's the blob! Well done Salvador Dali :-) Your style was always one of my favourites and looking at this masterpiece, still is - Gary.

Interesting mix. I like the idea, but I'd like to see the blue not as dark, though I know that's how blue comes out of the tube. Simple composition. Good job. Jacko. 7

simple and effective. i like the washed out look of the white background although there seem to be too many speckles of something.
