Very subtle photo. Nice shapes and flow, but not much to grab me and hold me as a viewer. Very sharp. 7 Rob the Swash

The sign is pretty clear, but the glare from the window overpowers much of the image (even the sign). The subject seems to be the toy in the background (see title), but the focus says the sign is the subject. 6 Rob the Swash

Very precise photo, except the right edge of the pencil (??). Nice use of 1/3 rule. Nice reflection. All that said, it's not got a lot of WOW factor. 6 Rob the Swash

Hi, sorry I didn't get around to commenting this during the challenge. I gave this an 8. The photo is well taken. The black and white contrast levels seem to work very well. It is sharp, very sharp. The composition - good, but not quite GREAT. The use of the sunglasses/mirror works well, but could have been centered in one lens a bit better (it's a nit, but after all, I didn't mark this down that much). The hood is good, but the crop of part of the mouth just bugs me a bit (all or nothing, that's what I say!). I would have liked more mouth, it appears to be smiling and would further the idea of HSH. I know you can't control the weather, but the dark skies...eh, I wouldn't have marked it down for that, but others might.
Finally, the hook - although obviously special to you, I don't see any WOW or other interest(re:hook) item to pull my (non-biased) interest into this photo. I always ask - Would I hang this on my wall? I think you would answer YES! Me, probably not, but honestly it's nothing personal, just didn't "grab" me. I hope this helps. Rob the Swash

It's my home too.. let me in..

Very nice! White is hard to get detail, but you managed it very well! The cat's expression matches up with your title very well. 9 Rob the Swash

Jeff, I gave this one an 8. Basically, I agree with Heather. The balls are great, but the background just kills it for me, too. How about a steeper angle down of just the balls and rack (maybe a bit of lane, but definately not that horrible neon end of lanes area). Strong color and focus (except for the leading balls).

Good shot! Sorry, didn't vote or comment this challenge. This WAS one of my most likely to be yours! Mostly good stuff. Why the small aperture? (Still most seems in focus....) The middle guns's triggers seem to be a bit jaggy, but I've got no idea how one would fix that!

Very clear shot. The glare on the wall is a bit nasty. Nice painting, whose art is it? 6 Rob the Swash
