100k_xle: Sure Top Five Entry. No luck Needed!

E J

nanadoo: Congrats on the win! I love it!

Jimbobedsel: Congrats on your 1st place in the contest, Lyn. That sure is a great shot. I love that song, and all of Jim Croce's work. He would have had many many more great songs if he hadn't died way back in the 70's.

2nd place
Time Passing by coram9

casechaser: Congrats on your win, Chris.

purmusic: Add me to the list that enjoy your image here.

And..

Been trying to figure out whether or not you did some stuff in post processing, or.. shot this one through something?

(There are elements in/of the bokeh that add to this mystery of sorts, to my eyes and mind.)

I don't think, and I could be wrong.. that simply dialing in the DOF is the visual result of what we are seeing within frame.


Like Bethany above, a part of me does wish to see more of.. as in, a wider/deeper DOF.

On the note of sharpening, and in my humble opinion ... clarity and focus, as is ... and presented, with respect to the areas in focus ... are fine.

Exposure is good good. Composition as well.


Very nice shot and one that would keep me looking at it for some.. ahem ... time. There's lots to like and take in, despite it's simplicity.

3rd place
A Month in the Life of the Moon by Akeraios

trixxie17: This is really very cool - good luck in the contest, I think this is an excellent entry.

purmusic: Really nice work, Hannah.


If I may.. composition.

In my humble opinion, think you could make some 'minor' (on the notes of your concept and overall presentation) changes.

Moon ... smaller.

Allowing for the Xaos fractal to provide stronger leading lines within frame, prodding your viewer's eyes to look into your piece.. deeper. As they are a nice touch.

Add some more depth, in short.

And in turn, knock down the moon's prominence (visual weight), too.


Will summarize my thoughts here.. in a popular phrasing..

'+favs for me.'


Best of luck in the contest with this very strong creative contender. :o)
