I think your original is the better picture, echoing and illustrating the title. The wolf has stolen the sheep's coat and quickly draped it over his own back demonstrating a literal interpretation of the saying. The judge was wrong; he may have done it differently but his criticism has led to a much weaker and less successful image. Stick to your guns. Not evryone likes everything, but if it pleases you then the rest can go hang. It is so difficult to find really good, balanced CC judges. |

I'm impressed that anything grows in a place where the word 'badlands' is part of its name. I think you have combined these images well and have given the picture the effect of a crayon drawing. |

Serendipity is a great creative tool. I like the way you have emphasised the creative aspect of this happy accident by enhancing the tones and colours. |

The long, dark shadows lead the eye into the picture, towards the archways and the different human stories being acted out within and beyond. The eye is stopped from wandering off by the buildings across the square and returns to savour the detail again. I like the contrast; reducing it would weeken the impact. A well observed scene. |

This is not the first picture you have posted that has two distinct halves that compliment each other and also make a whole. The negative space of the concrete wall (which is not featureless) pushes the eye to the mysterious leg and then the imagination can get to work. You have a good eye, as I've said before, and again the toning suits the image.
And great minds think alike! I shot this a few weeks ago. |

I think Maude has summed up this picture really well, so I won't repeat the same things. It is a cracking photograph with a strong, yet balance composition telling a story. I love the the fact that that story is open (as with every photograph) to each viewers interpretation. I also love the fact that what looks like a child is a pot smoking adult. You were right not to include that in the original description. The only this I would want (individual taste) is to see a little more contrast. Well done. |

To me, the story of this picture is a shifty looking man (who looks really uncomfortable) trying to sell me a glowing 'thing' that he has stolen. In that it is a successful photograph. But I suspect it was meant to convey something different. However, kudos to you for aiming at a creative portrait. I agree the orb needs sorting. |

I think this is superb. I like the strong contrast which suits the subject matter and the story of earth and what we are doing to it. His expression has a calmness but also holds a touch of fear which emphasises the theme very well. It reminds me of the work of David Penprase who covers his models in mud and twigs. I couldn't find a link to his pictures (perhaps because many of them are nudes) but have one of his books called "Beyond the Edge" (https://www.abebooks.co.uk/book-search/title/beyond-the-edge/author/david-penprase/) |

This is a lovely flower study. Yes, there is an amount of softness in some of the focus, but I think this particularly suits and enhances the subject. I think we worry too much about 'sharpness'. Some of the early pictorialist photographs were far from sharp but are beautiful. There is a place for different levels of sharpness. The toning is perfect. |
