Really like the interpretation of the title. As you mentioned, if the drops had been in focus it would work better. I actually took this into PS and sharpened the drops and blurred the moss. It looked a bit better but I realized that one other thing was still throwing it off. The fact that the main drop is hitting over that very dark green moss seems to be stoping it from really kicking out. Odd because I would think that it would do exactly the opposite.

Why does all the good stuff wash up on your beaches? : )

 

Smart move with the white for contrast.

Outstanding.

Okay, so you won't win any awards for it but it's a fun idea and is kind of cool. The only thing I'd like to see different is the grown YOU in color. I think it would go better with the idea.

Very cool!

I think I'd like to see this stacked from top to bottom. I tend to like seeing keys more on there sides, the way they're used. Nothing you can really do about the last key because it is what it is, but it's just such a boring pattern compared to the others. Maybe that makes an interesting statement though!

Yes I do liike it and you are right, it even much better when viewed larger. Nice work.

Very different! Hats off to you on this Tony.

Outstanding!

Very beautiful Lucy. You captured the feeling if the moment and place so well here.

I find myself wanting to see a wider shot of this, so that I can see more af the row of rocks to the left. That is, if there are more in the row. Two things I really like about this one. First is that growth on the lower part of the large stone. It looks like it's glowing from the sunlight. Second is the overall feeling of the scene. With this stone being the only one standing tall, it makes it feel as though it is the last survivor amoung them. The stone does not have a feeling of strength or pride about it. It looks kind of lonely actually. Just sitting there watching another of countless sunrises, having no one to share it with and waiting for its turn to join the others. A far different feeling than I would expect to get from a shot of neolithic stones. Fine job Rich!

Very nice. Tells the whole story.

Beautifully done Birte.

It can't be easy for them to give an accurate rating when they're doing it with one hand and squinting.

 

My true ratings are a 6/5 on this Micki. I'm struggling with a 6/6 because those leading lines from the railing are so cool but I figure I'll keep it a bit lower to keep pushing you!

 

Beautiful work, they're going to love this!

OMG.....I'm so shocked! <----------NOT!!!! : )

 

Nice job Leanna. Congrats to you and Jana!!

Have to agree with the both of you. You have NO idea how hard getting a good bird shot is until you've tried. Nice job on this, I really like the composition and DOF. The spattered red fills in the rest of scene nicely.

Looks like a bit of dust in the upper left. Other than that, they already like it so why mess with it?

Nice concept and pretty well done. I would get rid of the skeletons collar bone that is showing at the shoulder though.

 

~Anthony

Nice work on both of your parts!

What came to mind whan I saw this is that it would better if she were holding a mandarine and one was missing from the stack. Just give it some meaning or a little bit of a story, if you will. Also, I like the light behind couch but the drapes...well you know.

 

~Anthony

Doesn't work for me. I think of water dripping down her face as sensual. The speed of which it looks like your hand is moving and her bare teeth and gums take from that feeling. Had your hand been frozen (No pun intended!) and the shot shown her full face and flowing hair with the drop running down her face and her eyes closed and mouth slightly opened, I think you would have a great shot. Then again, you're trying to copy a shot that I've never seen so I'm not sure how close you hit the mark on that.

 

~Anthony

Nice tones here.

 

~Anthony

Great expression captured!

Nice work Ilya. The kiss marks crack me up!

 

~Anthony

The best in the series IMO as well. Two things I'd like to see different. A bit mare light on her face and the creases taken out of the fabric. I think that would make make this even better. Sorry for sloppy example...
