A happy snappy photograph. Try changing your POV to change the entire image. Good technical elements of contrast, dof, focus.

Classic (and enough sources to choke a horse.. hehehe)

Congrats Sylvie

Congrats Z, although I think your bunny was much better.

How the heck did this come in so low? I rated this one the highest. Great work Zizounai.

Congrats once again Sylvie!!

Congrats Sylvie!!

It's interesting how we can have opposite reactions to a shot. Although I appreciate what you were trying to accomplish, I had the same kind of feeling as when we get a power line in a picture. That said, the detail on the rope is on the money.

fantastic

good one.

Too bad you couldn't get Robin Hood and his merry men to sit around the table.

I really like the considered thought put into this shot, the symmetry, the village in the distance whispers to us of life by the water, the dof you used is splendid. Really a great shot.

Your title makes this photograph. Clarity is perfect and his expression brought a smile to my face. Furthermore composition and POV are spot on. Good exposure as well with no blow outs.

Visually exciting, works for me.

Congrats on winning

Needs more color IMO. I like the coloring you did on the gears, but it may look nicer if you finish it.

I think your work might really come to life if you add a little shadow (from elephant) on the table. I've searched for the real 'elephant in the room' but couldn't find it.

Good find on the sources of the room and girl, love them!

Congrats once again Sylvie!!

Congrats Sylvie!!

Congrats Sylvie!!

Congrats!

The elephant would have deserved to be a little bigger, at least as high as the piece of furniture behind it.

OK I'll hold you to it.

sadly adorable

This photograph pulled a chuckle out of me! It is beautifully coloured, well balanced and the contrast levels make it sing...it is absorbing. It holds the magic number of 5, an uneven count that titillates our gray matter! I am a real sucker for KISS principle and this is KISS to the core, simple and strong and gets my vote.

It is the colours radiating around the brass that pull me in. Yes, we can see the detail of the brass but the song of colours around it gives this image soul. Also, the dof used is artistic and well thought out. A warm photo with colours of blue, magenta, greens and orange.....a stirring image that begs the viewer to look into it...and we do.

I find myself captivated by this image of curves, am trying to figure out if it is a machine or jewellery. The crop is very nice which focuses on the dynamic C curve of metal which is not pliant, yet your photo makes it so. Really good, thank you.

What a creative idea, to focus on the reflections on metal, thank you for the idea. I like this image because of the details caught within the reflection and that makes the viewer linger longer on the shot. Have you considered a lower crop and a nip off the right side to bring in the detail even larger for the viewer? Nice one...KUDOS.

I like the sand falling and the DOF. Nice shot.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.... SO COOL.. thank you!!!

Clear solid shot with great marginal space all round. Colour palette natural and photograph is unpretentious.

Purrrrrrfect!

Congratulations on 4th Sylvie. I really like the mushroom idea.

Lovely work Sylvie. It has a wonderful magical feel about it.

I called this one "Artichoke on a Lamp". Looks like an artichoke.

Congrats Z.

Congrats Sylvie!!

Congrats Sylvie!!

It's because I was born in 1924

A blow out is when all photographic information is completely lost and no matter how much you burn and burn and burn and burn in your "darkroom" that information is gone and you only have a white blob. A black out is the opposite and also called "clipping". You may want sun to shine but you don't want white blow outs....do you? Also remember that the natural pathway of the eye is to always gravitate to the brightest part of the canvas and that is what and where the focus will be. In the olden days, photographers used to turn their photos upside down, and look to see where their attention went...when it went to the brightest part of the image that is where the attention (focus) was....and then they knew that it wasn't on the focal point intended.

Nostrils "whodathunkit" Great entry, unfortunately you have overexposure on the white sun lit aspect of his snout and this speaks of exposure calibration mal function. Are you shooting on A mode or Manual. Switch to manual, bit the bullet and you will see you have a lot more creative power to image making. I love your artistic crop with keeping part of the horse's body in place but softened. It is a photograph that is warm in beauty....and it's of nostrils....breath....life.

I like it. Congrats!

It makes me dizzy looking down into the hole.

Hard time eating carrots

Now I want to go find myself a Spirograph...

Cute and weird LOL

Great take on the source

Hey, congrats on this win !

Intriguing photo.

'RULES ARE FOR FOOLS AND OUGHT TO BE BROKEN'. Do you mean any Tom Dick or Harry can come to pyxleyes and decide to use our photographs without our knowledge...this concerns me. UH OHHHHH.
