Cascading Crimson
Cerulean Falls

=/ I found this one hard... hehe, I kind of went for an oxymoron... with crimson and cerulean constrasting. Cerulean is replacing water, becuase the judges aren't fond of that... heh.

Really like this. I think you were right on with everything. The alliteration is ace, the description of the signature is perfect, and I have no critiques whatsoever. 10/10

Anubis
Fountains of Fire
This one is very good, too. I, again, love the alliteration, and how you managed to incorporate both the water and the color into the subtext. Very nice. 9/10

Blk Mage
Frozen in Time
This one is okay, I guess. I think it focuses more on the fact that the picture looks photograph-esque in the signature than the picture itself, which is alright, but it could be better. If I were you, I would have described the picture more than its surroundings. 6.5/10

Dragonfire
The fury of nature... *fade* ...The serenity of water
This one just hits the okay mark for me, too. I get where you're coming from, but it just seems like too much. The waterfall doesn't really look furious to me, and I think you may have said that because of the color. Crimson doesn't necessarily mean fury. I do like how you took the picture and made it mean two completely different things, however- fury and serene. I like that. 7/10

Falling off the Deep End
I like subtexts that can relate to the user as well as the picture, and this is one of them. Not to say Robert is "falling off the deep end", but it could be taken that way. And I don't think I need to point out that the water on the waterfall is "falling of the deep end". Which I just did anyway, but you get the point. Good job. 8.5/10

pipsqueeek
Boiling Tranquility
Tranquility is a great word, but I don't really understand the boiling aspect. It's water, yeah, and water boils, but I don't see that happening in the picture. It still works well enough, but that aspect just seems a bit off. 6.5/10

Pixa
Cascading Crimson
Cerulean Falls
"Cascading Crimson" is a great line, but I can't say the same for "Cerulean Falls". The falls might be cerulean in real life, but they're not portrayed that way, which makes it look out of place. But still, points for cascading crimson. 7.5/10

susannahmio
A Mighty Fall
Eh. It's okay. To me, mostly it's just stating what's there without evaluating on it. Yeah, it is a mighty fall. What about the mighty fall, though? 6/10

Twizzler0171

I don't really understand it, which is the main thing I have problems with. The rhyme works well without looking forced, but I still don't understand what you're going for with it. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that there's something behind it, thugh, because it does rhyme. 6.5/10

WIS
Nostalgic Snapshot *fade* Memories of old
It's good. I don't really understand where the 'nostalgic' aspect came from, but it's creative, I guess. The crimson tone of the photograph does make it look aged, which may or not be the reason why you came up with this. If it is, though, then good observations. 7/10

Maybe I just misinterpeted something. Nevermind.

I thought I'd get right on this today! This is a very tough one to judge for me.

Love it! If you saw Paula's reaction to Chris's performance on Tuesday on American Idol, picture that. I think this is really a great one! 10/10

Anubis
Fountains of Fire

I think this one is pretty good. It addresses both the actual water and the color of the photograph and the alliteration is nice. It doesn't make me go "WOW" though. 7.5/10

Blk Mage
Frozen in Time

This one is kind of odd. It makes me think only of the fact that there is a photograph in the signature. It doesn't make me think anything of the actual falls in the photo though, which is disappointing. 6.5/10

Dragonfire
The fury of nature... *fade* ...The serenity of water

I really like this one too! I personally love waterfalls. I find them very peaceful, don't know if it's because of the sound or the fact that I find water to be calming, but the second half fits my love of waterfalls perfectly. I love the first half too because if anyone has ever been at the bottom of Niagara Falls, they know just how powerfull waterfalls can really be. My mother took my on the hurricane deck (I don't think it's there anymore) when I was about 8, and "the fury of nature" describes it wonderfully. 10/10

Falling off the Deep End

Interesting, but I guess I just am failing to see how this one applies. I guess the water is falling into "the deep end", but that's about all I can get from this. 5/10

pipsqueeek
Boiling Tranquility

I like the fact that you brought in the peacefulness of waterfalls. The fact that you chose "boiling" is interesting. The picture is a shade of red (very general, I know), which I guess could lead you to boiling (that and the fact that it's water), but beyond that, I don't get it. 6/10

Pixa
Cascading Crimson
Cerulean Falls

I like it for some odd reason. I love the alliteration...I just wish you hadn't used the word "falls"...it kind of ruins the alliteration aspect. Maybe something like "cerulean currents" instead and had that part before "cascading crimson". I love the first part. I also like how you didn't use a fade. A lot of people used fades this time and there's plenty of room on the signature to fit all of your text. Props for not using a fade! 8/10

susannahmio
A Mighty Fall

This is very true. It is a mighty fall. That's all it's got going for it though. It's very "too the point"...a little too much. I don't know what else to say. 5/10

Twizzler0171

I like the amount of words that you used. There is clearly enough room for your text. And there's something (I can't put my finger on it) that I really like. I like the fact that it rhymes and I like the use of ellipses at the end...It's supposed to leave you thinking. Just a punctuation thing to think about: a comma after the word small? (especially the way I'm thinking of how it would fit on the signature...Just a nitpicky thing). 8.5/10

WIS
Nostalgic Snapshot *fade* Memories of old

This is an interesting text. I really like the fact that it addresses the quality of the photo. It looks like an old photgraph from a vacation. Vacation photos are nostalgic, filled with memories of old, so I totally understand where you're coming from. However, the picture was specifically of a waterfall, which is important to think about. This text could be applied to any signature that has an old photo in it. 7.5/10
