My vote goes to #13 for it's composition though focus could have been improved. Jocelyne

I like # 1

I vote for #11. The colours and the lighting are excellent to my amateur eyes. Yet, despite the enriching background, the curves of the container remain the focus. John T.

I vote for #1, I like the view point of the picture and the peaceful curves of nature Anne-Marie

I vote for # 1.

I vote for many... sorry... ! Number 3 and number 13 because they sought the less obvious curves and this is important as a photographer. Number 3: you feel the curve, the movement, the rush. Number 13: the focus is way off but the composition is very interesting. (I noticed the three women in the circle of light and the three dark curved openings - this to me, tells an interesting story). No 7: you have captured an interesting curve (maybe try a tight reframing of the bananas where you see three curved lines. Try a round frame. No 1 you have captured a drawing in space. Congrats to all of you!

I vote for #13 composition is graet

Marcel Paquet		18-Sep-2009 19:02
I vote for number 6. I like the multiple repetitive curves. The composition is also well done. Thanks Marcel

My vote goes to # 11 .... love the reflection of the sun on the container and nature always wins big with me. Very nice pic ! Thanks all

Well, since I can't vote for my own, :) , I'm stuck between #6 for it's curve made out of lines, and #9.... because.... well, it's awesome. I think #6 is technically a better photo. #9 either has not enough DOF, or too much. The belly button is only in focus enough to be distracting/not blurred enough to be ignored. Perhaps it would have been better to shoot portrait and have it cropped out altogether? So that's #6 for me. Wayne

My Vote goes to number 9. Number 1, 9....Paul

I vote #1, very peaceful perspective -Sandy

Guest		18-Sep-2009 14:20
I vote for #13

Guest		18-Sep-2009 14:17
I'm voting for #1 because it caught my attention as it is not at all an obvious subject (really have to get down before noticing the curves). I really like #3 but the focus isn't sharp enough. I also really like #8. #12 I find could be improved with different composition as it seems to just be shot straight on rather than from angle or using the rule of 3rds to make it more interesting. Overall lots of great photos. Stephanie A.

My vote goes for #1. It''s original and I like the perspective in which the photo was taken. Nice colour contrast as well.

Guest		18-Sep-2009 14:14
I vote for #9. Very soft curves and nice lighting! I also really like #6 (nice contrast and I like how the subject fills flows from corner to corner) and #8 (great depth of field and very interesting angle) - Neil

TC Photo Club		18-Sep-2009 14:06
I think that #13 is the best photo of the bunch, but I really feel that #9 nails the challenge, it's simple and to the point.

Guest		18-Sep-2009 14:05
i vote for #8. pat

Ron		18-Sep-2009 03:58
I vote for #8. I especially like the shallow Depth of Field and odd angle. I really like #1 too despite the fact you stole my idea before I got to it. ;-) Ron.

TC Photo Club		18-Sep-2009 02:47
The vote for #3 shouldn't count. Boooo you can't vote for your own photo John! :P

TC Photo Club		18-Sep-2009 02:25
I would vote for #3, I mean really how many curves do you want...besides I took the shot and this is undoubtedly going to be my one vote. Oh and yeah it has motorcycles in it...all the riders are children too, really fast children! John Dooley

I liked number 12 as I really couldn't tell where the curves started or ended

Bob Boisvert		17-Sep-2009 19:46
I will have to vote for number 13 ( I hope that this is not bad luck). Technically, it is a bit out of focus, but,... it is the best composition. There are three groups of threes, deliniated with delicious curves, and the three ladies are in the spotlight. Picture number 8 gets my second vote, for getting out of the horizontal mode, great depth of field, and nice point-de-fuite. Number 9 was close to second, daring but not too much. These curves are often noticed, for sure. Picture could have improved with a bit of scrubbing (I can demonstrate that), and contrast adjustment. Bravo to all the participants. Bob

I vote for 8. Nice perspective. Nice DOF. -Steph
