In Hot Pursuit

Awesome capture!! I didn't get a good one of the seagulls chasing the puffin. I had one that was an ok shot, but that's about it. It's a hoot that this many people are going for puffins at the same time. :)

Huge congrats on the HM!

This is really lovely! I'd love to see notes on how you did this. -10- for creating a photo that's not my usual cup of tea, but that gets me to stop in my tracks more than any other so far (and I only have 5 photos left on which to vote!)

It must be selective desat month. This is the only shot that does it effectively, imo. I'm still not a desat fan, but I do love the robin and the shadow.

The selective desat takes away from this photo. Perhaps letting the crowd have some color? Plus you missed places on his pants and arm.

Waiting for the Bride

I like the idea of this, but something seems really off with the bride. I'm guessing it's the lighting, but she's not sitting well in the photo. Too pasted in without blending.

I have real mixed feelings on this one. First thought is that I really dislike selective desat. It just isn't effective. Yet your choices of the color and where you've done it is really quite interesting. The color itself is intriguing.

Her face is so wonderful, I was thinking that you ruined a tremendous photo by your choice of the desat. But then I wonder whether or not I would have spent so long looking at it without having it drawn me in.

7 for the photo. +1 for making me think so hard about it. There's a good chance it would have been a 6 as is. 8 because you made me start thinking about changes. I think by getting rid of the cup and the yellow thing to the left of the cup and the yellow at the top of the mirror, that it would have been 9 worthy. Just enough subtle bits to add intrigue.

I recognize this place! I hope it's doing well! I have a similar one that I'm quite fond of, but I haven't processed it yet. I'll have to process it and compare. :)

What a wonderful day it was! (just peeking now -- voting later)

Must be a Mary dog. Don't know of anyone else with these gentle giants. :)

Very intriguing background! I don't think I would have liked the photo as much without it.
