Details (Found): Entries that encompass tighter shots of the day's small slices AS THEY WERE FOUND.
Judges Comment: Really strong graphic image and a clear standout. The only thing that I would suggest to look at is a slight crop on the left hand side to eliminate the blue triangle formed in the upper left. This could be cloned as well. The only other thing that I can mention is that the fingers are a bit red and this could easily be corrected. Still this is a really magnificent image.
Judges Comment: A great moment well executed. There are a couple of things that I think would make this image even stronger. I would eliminate what I think is a chair leg on the upper right. This could be retouched or cropped. I would also definitely crop up from the bottom. I don't think the foreground helps and cropping this as a tight horizontal would make the relationship between the cat and the shoes much stronger.
Judges Comment: Another extremely well done shot showing the creativity and thought process of the photographer. The image has great design and a great color palette and I love not seeing the face.
Judges Comment: I really like this. I love the crop and the angle and this could really be a fashion piece as well as a wedding shot. The colors in the background and foreground all come together here and add nice touches. Well done.
Judges Comment: A fantastic moment. Great shot. I also think that this could be even stronger with a crop. I cropped this up from the bottom and tighter on the right side and went so far as to crop out the left leg of the gentleman. The one white leg and the woman on her toes made this much stronger.
Judges Comment: The hands say it all. An exceptionally well done detail. Since this image is all about the hands, I question the need to keep in the arm on the right side and may suggest even a tighter crop.
Judges Comment: Great moment, very well executed.
Judges Comment: The label says it all. Very funny and a great detail shot. The red is a bit out of gamut and could use a little bit less saturation and I would have cropped the hanging red on the right side but still a very nice and funny image.
Judges Comment: Another very funny image. I would have cropped or retouched the upper left.
Judges Comment: Very well done. The image would benefit from a little more clarity or bumping up the midtones to create a bit more contrast.
Judges Comment: Nicely done. Again simple and clean. My only comment is that I would have either burned down all the sides equally or not at all.
Judges Comment: Well framed and composed. The image is lively and sexy and the blurring of the dress adds to the image. The image is a slight bit green and could have been better color balanced.
Judges Comment: I like it. The unbuckled shoe tells a story and the framing of the image is done very well. Certainly the blue dress adds to this. Nice job.
Judges Comment: There were a lot of shoe submissions but this is yet another one that stands out. Well done. The only comment is that there is some vignetting which could be eliminated in the front. I might just crop up from the bottom a bit too.
Judges Comment: There were a fair amount of shoe shots but this is another one that stands out. The scene says it all. I would have retouched or cropped out the bricks on the left side.
Judges Comment: Great light and nice design. It would take a little work but this image would be stronger if the sand were retouched so that only the one dominant set of footprints appeared.
Judges Comment: Simple and cute. I don't think that you need the legs on both sides of the chair. I cropped it to just have the leg on the left and made the image into a square and thought it was much stronger.
Judges Comment: Nice image. I wish the heater coil in the windshield did not go through his hand. Retouching out the bottom one would be simple and would help the image.
Judges Comment: Very nice light helps to make this a strong detail shot.
Judges Comment: I love the man reaching for the ring and the red pillow adds color. Unfortunately I think the candle really is distracting. I would have cropped it out and I think the image would be stronger.
