I like the composition. Very tough subject to expose properly. Decent job on the focus. The center is focused and the back petals are, but I'd like to see those center petals a little better. 7

Cool sky. It's a little overexposed and I think I'd like to see the tower a little further away from the bottom of the frame w/ more land and a little less sky. 6

I like the black bg. Good lighting. A little too much water IMO. Somehow the composition isn't quite right. I think it's the two flowers competing for attention since they are stacked on top of eachother. Might be nice without the top bud. 7

Interesting take on the traditional flower shot. I like the black bg and the composition. Would like a little more light on the flower and a tighter crop. 8

Happy Valantine's day, dear!

Yup! That's cliche. :) Nice job. Good focus and lighting on the front petal. I'd prefer a little more dof as the other petals seem to blur slightly. 8

The Cliché Color: White

Winter wonderland. It sort of has a dreamlike quality to it. Snow is tough to expose properly. Nice job. The horizon is a bit too centered vertically maybe. 9

Door In The Floor

OK. I'm sure you wanna know what I think so... The door on the floor is just too cool. The room is just way too cluttered and distracting. It wouldnt have been that hard just to straighten up a few square feet. That's also some blinding light coming from the right side off frame. It burned all the white objects in the top part of the shot. I think it's kinda funny that you're dressed so preppy and wearing sandals while sitting on a ladder :P Awesome score though! You did a good job w/ the photoshopping. I do like your floor btw. On my monitor it also looks like there are some diagonal jaggies, but that's probably just me. It is a fun shot. Very creative and well done.

The Fire Engine Sign

HEY! I gave this an 8. I love the colors. Biggest complaint is that it goes off the left side of the frame. I like that it isnt centered but it should all be inside the shot. It's a cute sign. Very simple shot but it works for me. Yellow & Blue are Sweden's colors and my bf is swedish so ... :D
Use the full file size!! There's no reason not to, and make sure that you don't repeatedly save as jpg or you will get more artifacting b/c it loses info every time you save. Save as something else until you're all done editing. (you might know that but anyway)

Hi, Manic!! Here are my thoughts. Of course my square shot stank so feel free to ignore me.
*lol* at some of your comments. You got a lot of them! This photo isn't very easy on the eyes. It's simple and straight forward. It fits the challenge. All those holes and that bright glare just turns me off. I do like the color, but it's too bright. I also think it's a little weird to see a bg on just 3 sides and have the 3rd cropped like it is. I have to agree that it's just a little boring. If you're gonna have such a simple subject then it's gotta be presented in a really interesting or different way. Maybe an abstract but definitely different lighting. I really don't know what else to say about it. The focus and quality seem good. I don't really think that many people COULD take a much better picture of this subject so... It all goes back to coming up with a good idea in the first place. Just don't come to me for ideas cause I don't have any :P

Beautiful colors! Excellent lighting. I like the composition tho I think I'd rather see a perspective from a bit lower or a bit higher instead of right from the side. Perfect exposure. 10
