Yvonne, great new topic! You did a really good job getting the challenge up and running! You are doing excellent commenting as well. I can see that you were more than ready to win one of these!

I took the liberty of updating the winners list and posting that here. I had to break it into two parts because it had gotten beyond its 6000 character limit.
Enjoy your challenge! Sharon

Very nice portrait, Abstract. I like the composition a lot. Is there a story behind this image? Sharon

Sorry if my image is too large, this is my first post on these forums. :) I'm at work and don't have a means to edit the photo. I think I did ok though.

I was snowshoeing at Mt. Rainier and saw this tree that I loved. I'm a complete amature so I'd love some constructive criticism.

Only edit to this picture is the resizing.

Canon PowerShot S45
1/200s f/2.8 at 7.1mm

Thanks
 
Welcome to this challenge. Nice B&W image.As concerns your problem, I would suggest that if you like to make this image thinner you just have to do some cropping work on both sides, right & left, may be like what I did with your image (see below). It seems, (because the kind of topic), that much of the right side & little of the left one might be cropped, because the sky is not seen there at all.



regards, Ami

Thanks for the suggestion. :) Composition is one of the things I rarely take into consideration. I'm that green at this. :)

I was looking at another picture I took of a little island in Jamaica. There's too much water in it and it's not composed very well. I still love the picture though. :)

FYI: It's not B&W it's just not very colorful. In the full size image you see the colors more. On the right side of the picture there's some light green moss hanging that gives it away.
 
I really like that Timelines one. The past meeting the present and so symmetrical as well. Nice contrast one against the other.

Nice pic, that one spoke to me.
 
Dug around and pulled out some older ones. Guess I need to start looking up some more! Great topic. Has me thinking of all kind of new things to try out!

Lighthouse



Coaster



Running the Stairs

Judy, Thanks for the entries. I personally favor number two. The composition is lovely and the shot radiates feeling. The balloons are unique as well. The third shot thumbs up really captures the uplifted spirit aspect of the topic but the point of view is a bit to straight on. Yvonne
