I know these aren't amazing. Probably not contenders, but I'd LOVE some feedback....

Thanks!

I'm working on titles and I have my fave... I know they aren't the greatest, but I haven't had much to work with this week....

Thanks so much!

I really like #2! The sky color contrasting with the foreground color, the leaning trees holding each other up, and the fact that there is a tire swing, seemingly in the middle of nowhere. I am imagining someone climbing all the way up there to tie the rope. It says irregular and picturesque to me. :D

definately the trees and swing... both are picturesque but the swing could be irregular simply because it looks like it is in the middle of know where...

I'd have to go with #2. I love how the dark sky contrasts with everything in that photo.

Though #1 is very nice, the clouds and sky just weren't in your favor that day.

Oh, yay! I'm glad that others liked the one I did...

I'm going to try to get a better shot, but I'll enter this for now!

Thanks so much!

I like #2, but I think its composition can be improved. The space on the left of the tree does not bring any bread to the table...:dunno I want either more of it, or less of it...

I also like #2. I can't decide if I would like it better without the tire swing, though... I definitely want to swing on that swing, though! I like the composition, the tree cuts a nice diagnoal across the frame, but I also think poofy white clouds would make it more picturesque.

NOTE: Just saw it in the entry thread... I think the smuggy custom size might be making it appear softer than it is... so custom sizing in PS and then uploading and linking to an "-O.jpg" might be better.

I like the picture and the light, which you would never get combined with puffy white cloud. But I would like some more sharpness and contrast in the entry thread version. Not too much, just a bit.

WOW andi, #2 is great, I instantly connected with the irregular angle of the tree. It's underscored by the vertical weight of the tire swing, which also gives it a clever human element. I love the processing.

I'm SOOOO jealous of your picturesque (ha!) surroundings.

Thanks! I'll play with it and see what I come up with!

Thanks so much! I wouldn't even enter it without the tire swing! LOL! For some odd reason, I'm absolutely in love with this tree and swing and have taken many, many photos of it. Thisis the first time I got this light. It looks okay with fluffy clouds, but without leaves, it gets a bit lost. In the summer it looks amazing against a blue sky and puffy clouds!

I also reuploaded upon others suggestions, too. I kept looking at it, but thought it was me. No clue why the resized version didn't work as I had Originals enabled so maybe it's just the way they resize. But I did what you and others suggested!

Thanks again!

Absolutely right about the light... Thanks! And got the pic fixed!
