Stress Induced.....

I like the4 lighting and the details in this shot. The red hue throughout the shot works very well will the theme. I don't however care for the loose strings on the bottom of the shot. Meets the challenge and is well done.

Separated from the Crowd

woohoo color!! crisp focus and strong lines.. and it meets the challenge. I like it 8. might have gone with a 9 or 10 if the topic had been a little more exciting.. still one of my highest scores yet.

Separated At Birth, Reunited With Age
by mrmorris

Comment:
better than averge but not quite breathtaking. I do enjoy the thousands of tiney little branches you captured. The chaos is beautifull. I am forced to ask what are those between the trees? Tombstones. If so I feel there very appropriate. I think however it would have been nice to have them larger. As for the composition. the trees on the right bother me. and I don't like the shadow on the foreground. Overall not a bad shot. but seems pretty average to me

Twist and Pull

Comment:
Yup its separated.... fairly well executed. I feel that this could have used less shadows and a little more detail. As for the subject it's a little bland IMO. Perhaps if this had been shot on a different color back groung it might have been more astheticly pleasing.. as is seems pretty average.

Seconds Away

I like this shot .. I feel that the three glare spots will probably hurt you a bit however. Not very crisp and your DOF is too shallow despite all of this I just like it... I feel this fits the challenge very well. so bwahahaaaaa the technical rules can bite me you get a good score any way..

Separated Look
by Mona

Comment:
Hmm it's a bit dark and the wood grain looks to be a bit out of focus. I also have trouble seeing the "separation" in this shot. Not a bad shot probably would have done a little better if I could make the separation connection. As i it about average.

Angel Food Cake or Creme Brulee?

Comment:
one of the better egg shots so far. Ver welldone from a technical stand point. Good lighting, color and focus. I do feet that it is a little week in the separation area however. In this paticular situation showing the separation of the shell, yoke, and white. Persnaly prefere to see the actual separation taking place. While this is not a shot I would frame for my wall it is still a very nice shot.

The Separation of Church and Steak
by edc1

Comment:
I don't think that the church being out of focus helped this shot any.. I also realy don't like the eyes on the rubber steak. I would have preferred a crisp shot with a real state... i mean steak.. In a weird was I must a agree however this does fit the challenge. But I'm not sure if te foreighn voters will get it.

Yin Yang
by charliebaker

Comment:
I will admit that yin and yang is the ideal example of separation and union. I feel that this fits the challenge well some may not know its meaning. I must however complain about the shot its self. It apears to me that this is a side long shot of a rippled balnket. That was put into high contrast. But I can't say for sure. I don't know if I like this or not. It is a photo and I feel it may stretch the rules a bit on the poatrait of artwork part of the rules. But will vote as if it didn't 7

Cracked
by Erin_K

Comment:
nope I don't like it. Its just a picture of a broken egg on a plate. The pjhoto while not a bad shot just fails to bring out any emotion from me. It looks like an egg on a plate. Nothing unusual or interesting. I feel the only questionable areas of the phot would be why is it on a plate? and why is the shell crushed. I prefered to see nice clean breaks... sorry I don't intend to sound dicouraging..
