the mask
avatar adeincyprus

in the hi res, there are some strange lines and marks to the left of the corner point, also, I would have thought that the 'halo' at the corner would have been stronger and darker, like an 'eclipse' effect

some bad cloning work around the head too.......

Head
avatar adeincyprus

too much surrounding area, and the highlights top right are blown. good effort.

On Cloth
avatar adeincyprus

spot on with the lighting, that is exactly what it is.........non directional means no directional shadows, even spread of light etc.

Trashed phone booth

'dude'......I didn't say you made them sit there!

Picnic Time..

the sharpest point of focus that I can see is on the head of the boy at the back......

(5 years and 3559 days ago)

Kindergarten
avatar adeincyprus

Skyline
avatar adeincyprus

nice effort, though I agree with kyricom, I would not have recognised this as an amethyst if you hadn't said....

(5 years and 3560 days ago)

Amethyst
avatar adeincyprus

yeh great, let's sit two dozen kids on the edge of a pond...........brilliant idea..........lol

(5 years and 3560 days ago)

Picnic Time..
avatar adeincyprus

excellent, although a little contrast would work here, imo......

(5 years and 3560 days ago)

My Sunday Service
avatar adeincyprus

nice effort, a little fuzzy though.

(5 years and 3560 days ago)

Waiting on the parade...
avatar adeincyprus

good catch.

(5 years and 3560 days ago)

General Conference
avatar adeincyprus

nice effort, but it is a little out of focus

(5 years and 3560 days ago)

Kindergarten
avatar adeincyprus

excellent..........that puts my idea out the window then..........well done.

(5 years and 3560 days ago)

I do
avatar adeincyprus

can we see a hi res please.....

(5 years and 3560 days ago)

Extreme...
avatar adeincyprus

agree with blur comment, but not all shots need to be straight.......

(5 years and 3560 days ago)

Forty storey high
avatar adeincyprus

a little noisy......

(5 years and 3560 days ago)

nightime
avatar adeincyprus

yes, I agree, the top could go.

(5 years and 3560 days ago)

Lots of lights
avatar adeincyprus

yes, I agree.......that would have made this 100 per cent better still!

(5 years and 3560 days ago)

Just before dawn
avatar adeincyprus

good, but just a little too much red for my taste........

(5 years and 3560 days ago)

Queen
avatar adeincyprus

lovely shot, but just what is the specific daily need here.......aprt from a larger dress for the young lady, this one clearly does not fit her too well..... lol

(5 years and 3561 days ago)

Red needs
avatar adeincyprus

you could have read the guidelines, it say so in there............!

(5 years and 3561 days ago)

Gone
avatar adeincyprus

I would say this is the first fully on theme entry in the contest.......

(5 years and 3561 days ago)

feeling the pressure
avatar adeincyprus

agreed, but the glass here is totally invisible.......you could have been in the water with the fruit it is so clear!

(5 years and 3561 days ago)

avatar adeincyprus

Off topic..........No people or animals allowed in the image, there is a people in this!

(5 years and 3561 days ago)

Gone
avatar adeincyprus

there are 3 orbs that I can see.......a green one that is obvious, one light blue lower left of the green one, and another lighter colored one high right of the green one.....they are in a line, which does indicate lens flare..

Stony Mere Church
avatar adeincyprus

sorry, but this looks like a post edit graduated filter has been used!

(5 years and 3561 days ago)

Extreme...
avatar adeincyprus

Lamantine, while I agree with you about this being a great shot, these are your own words............ the goal in fact is to take a shot of anything which is on glass or pressed against glass for it to seem to be floating or pressing against something invisible...........so, is this shot on them, or off?..... The bubbles are clearly on the fruit...not the glass, and the fruit is floating, but not against the glass, which cannot actually be seen at all.

(5 years and 3561 days ago)

bubbly ever after
avatar adeincyprus

looks like a little lens flare has crept in..........

Stony Mere Church

a hig res is always good to see..............

Showing Off....
avatar adeincyprus

this does not look anything like the type of infrared image I was expecting to see here......

(5 years and 3562 days ago)

Backyard
avatar adeincyprus

Jaws, Melanie is right asking if the author actually took this shot, as if they didn't, then it is not allowed to be entered. It is not too easy to make out who is in the shot, so imo, anonymity is not at risk here.

(5 years and 3562 days ago)

Pole Climbing
avatar adeincyprus

was this shot behind a sheet or curtain of some sort?

(5 years and 3563 days ago)

Arabian Nights
avatar adeincyprus

some people, me included, do not like symmetry.........it is not always necessary! I do agree with the darkening comment though.

(5 years and 3563 days ago)

a heart
avatar adeincyprus

sorry, it is, as Kiwi says, out of focus......

(5 years and 3563 days ago)

the one !
avatar adeincyprus

stunning........

(5 years and 3563 days ago)

Sea side
avatar adeincyprus

excellent........it looks like something from deep space........

(5 years and 3563 days ago)

Aura of the Night
avatar adeincyprus

nice concept..........the framing could have been better, rather than just a shot of a toilet roll.......

(5 years and 3563 days ago)

We all need it :)
avatar adeincyprus

I agree with you Jaws, this is, imo, defo on theme......

(5 years and 3563 days ago)

glass window
avatar adeincyprus

no, you saw one very similar, I remember it too........the pepper was a different color.

(5 years and 3563 days ago)

Green and Yellow.
avatar adeincyprus

I agree.......you don't see the window, but you do see what is on it!

(5 years and 3563 days ago)

Calamity Jane
avatar adeincyprus

this one is not dried out, the eyes are still in place, they are usually one of the first things to go.

(5 years and 3563 days ago)
