When She's Not Here

Nice motion capture. Lighting and timing this must have been quite a trick. I wish there had been some way to do it with only the bottle and the perfume cloud, no hand.

Fuel of the Day

The orange color of the container and the soft focus on the edges make this look more like a pot of dirt than a can of coffee. A deeper depth of field, with the entire surface of the coffee in focus, would help, and a different colored can, maybe black or metal, would help the setup. The composition is excellent.

Scents of Smell

Nice metaphorical take on perfumery. The black background is perfect and the water droplet is super sharp and clear. So this is technically gorgeous, yet for some reason lacks emotion for me.

this is fantastic, best I've seen yet in the challenge. I love the texture and detail.

The Icky Sticky Frog
by Simplicity

Comment:
I just HAD to look and see if this was a real book title, and I'm glad I did! there's a whole series! anyway, about the photo, I like it, though if you had control over where the frog was a more interesting wall like brick might have served to provide more interest and contrast. the lighting also seems somewhat harsh; a softer and warmer light instead of a flash would avoid that.

Big Shot

Comment:
a literal interpretation would be a large shotglass, preferably full. this looks like a regular size shotglass. I'm also not sure wha the thing on the left is, and I don't think black and white is a good choice with props like deeply colored whiskey and a rose.

The Joy Of Cooking

Comment:
softer lighting (not the flash) would make this much less stark and more welcoming. diffused lighting avoids such harsh shadows and the blown-out highlights like on the metal pan. the emotion and fun of the picture come through but the flash detracts. would also like a little more attention to wardrobe; a simple shirt without the "san francisco" would have been better.

wonderful book and a funny interpretation of the title. plus, it fits the challenge for a change; this interpretation of the title works even without knowing the Lego connection in the story. nice job!

"A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift

this is about the content of the essay, not an interpretation of the title. those who haven't read it won't get it, and that's not the point of this challenge.
