I was thinking something like this...
-
So peaceful. I really like the fog covering the trees, and I'm glad you used a DOF big enough so that the branches are sharp.
-
First reaction: You have captured the joy of childhood. Beautiful, original. Amazing! 7/7.
Second thought: Those bubbles are so sharp! (Looking closer)... Hmm, perhaps toooo sharp. (Closer still.) You know, I think there has been some artificial blurring here, and possibly artificial sharpening. Kind of sticks out a little. 6/7
So there you have it: Anatomy of a rating. If I was wrong about the artificial blurring, let me know! (I'm a sucker for photorealism.)

Everyone,
thank you for your kind words. Knicki, you may be right about the DOF -- it is probably just slightly too shallow up front -- but I think that is a good thing, because it may help give a clue as to the 3D nature of the subject matter... ;-) Many people have NO idea what this is, btw. Responses have ranged from "is that her elbow?" to "i think that's her tummy" to "uhhhh.... wtf??"
I am glad you all have good taste. ;-)
-
Ohhhhhh there it is!
I was all set to agree with Tuhin about the distracting shadow cutting across the right side of the petals, but when I saw the reduced image on the "add a comment" page, I saw the rest of the shadow. :-) Is that the shadow of a fence? In any case, I love it now. 7/6!
-
This is amazing... with the title gentle pointing me in the right direction, the image provokes thoughts of a soul ascending to Heaven, but being turned away. I love this. 6/7
-
LOL... good eye. 7 jets and 7 smoke trails... 7/7... I've heard of subliminal messages but this is just sad. ;-)
I love the shot. 6/7
-
Another great shot. Love the symmetry, the form, the simplicity. Awesome. Start submitting these for critique, and more people will get to see them!
-
That is an amazing shot... I am sorry to see it has been overlooked by most. The bug was looking right at you! It's like he was posing! And is it my imagination, or does he have pupils? -
Great idea... so simple, yet I haven't seen this before. Executed very well. I agree with others that this would probably be better if the frame were entirely black... with maybe a small color border around each individual picture.
Great job! 6/7
-
amazing face... 6/6 -
People tell me this is one of their favorites in my gallery. I took
this my first night with the Digital Rebel. Thoughts?
-
Wow... that is indeed a glorious sunset. :-) I love everything about it, from the colors to the reflection in the water. Great job! 6/7 aesthetics -
-
Wow, an 80mm f/1.9 lens really blurs the background! If they were in front of trees or something a strong bokeh might be nice, but I too find the bluriness of the house distracting.
BTW, Mr. King, is the exposure date on this really in "1985"? I find it hard to believe you've been using the same body/lens for that long..... :-) (Equipment details for this photo and your recent photos are the same!)
-
The rim lighting and the beautiful background make this an amazing shot.
-
Love this shot... the blue is great and the moon is so sharp! Was this at 400 mm?
-
I agree with the above poster. I would love to see your face against blue skies, whereas this looks like total cloud cover. Ah well, what can ya do. Still a nice shot.

I am trying to liven up the standard flower image. By the way, there must be something up
with photo.net's compression software because in the original compressed JPG everything
is very smooth/sharp around the flower... so, if possible, please disregard that when
commenting. Thanks!

Yep, that's on the list of next purchases. That, and the 70-300 IS.
