Photo by Chris Gaul

In this photo I tried to capture the reflection of the lamp in the water. I accomplished that and then edited it in Photoshop CS3. I saturated the reflection and de-saturated everything around it to make the reflection stand out more. This photo came out better than I thought it would.

I really love the creativity of this photo. It is a very unique shot. I like that you can see the context of the photo as well the stairs and ground give it more texture and make great lines leading to the barrel. I kind of wish either the photo ended sooner on the left or you could see more of the barrel. It fades into blackness really fast and I think you could have gone for a more effective crop because it could have followed the rule of thirds that way. Great shot!

I agree with Ashley on this one. The shot could have faded in more with the blackness of the barrel. There is a little black in the corner maybe it could be a little lighter so that the barrel does not end right there. But overall Great shot.

This is a really interesting shot. I couldn't figure out what is was until I read your caption, and I really like art that is a bit confusing at first. I agree with the above statements about the cropping, but overall, this shot is very nice.

This is a very interesting and original picture. I like the contrast between the darkness of the barrel and stairs with the brightness of the lamp's reflection. While the simplicity of the shot works well, I might have added a bit more to the background. Also, I agree with the comments on cropping. Overall, this is a very nice shot.

This is a great idea for a photo. I honestly do like how dark the photo is because it makes the light in the water stand out more. And it’s clear too which helps.

I couldn't figure out what it is until I read your caption. I actually like how it is dark on both sides. It makes the light in the water stand out more. Good job!

This is a fantastic photo. I love the idea of this dungeon like picture. I wish there was a little more color in it. For instance some sort of drerry green color on the stairs. I also wish that the barrel didnt cut off in the middle of the picture. But all in all it is an amazing idea with a good outcome. SPHS
