My Comments

What so captivates the viewer here are the brilliant colors of flower, butterfly and background, and the clarity of the butterfly. I like the angle of the composition- a most attractive capture.

Boston Terrier by Ottie

A particularly handsome fellow, looking very much "on the ready." You've done a fine job of capturing his personality here, very well rendered.

Mulholland Overlook, Sunny Day by garygb

I really like this- it's always amazing to me how paint can look so different from a distance. This all falls together so well- the pleasant colors, the perspective, the composition. One wonders how you ever achieved this without a very long paintbrush! Good job!

How adorable a capture! Precious child, great position, and I thing the color and lighting really add to the nostalgia of the scene. Just great!

Just Babysitting by yourbren

A stunning capture of this beautiful creature! Love the pose showing his body but also his incredible face. Are you going to post the two baby brothers too? You've certainly peaked the viewer's curiosity and appetite with that enticing description!

Serenity at the Abbey by yourbren

So pastoral, peaceful and lovely- one can well imagine a functioning Abbey having been here. It has a very spiritual feel. I love the composition of this shot with the giant dark tree trunk overgrown with vines and greenery shifting the viewer's eye to the partially sunlit and placid pond and grounds to the right. It has terrific balance and eye appeal and is a perfect entry for the contest. Good luck!

Panda Cubs by Jean A Cormier

Jean, nothing could be better executed and more adorable than this rendering of these cubs. Their positions are great- excellent composition and the background is complementary in both subject and color. Just wonderful.

Larger Than Life by marieann green

Great shot! Where was this? Their vision of creating this shadow was excellently executed, and you've captured it perfectly. The tonal quality of this shot is so well done with the actually statue grabbing first attention, and then allowing the viewer to absorb the magnified shadow on the building which, itself, is a complementary tone against a very black sky. So well captured with fine clarity and composition.

Tulip Twosome by susanlen

Wow. It does indeed look like peonies and a painting, and a gorgeous one at that. It could not be painted any better- colors, composition and impact are just terrific. A most extraordinary shot.
