Not a bad shot but just not very interesting. I will adnit however it fits the challenge. Are the two companies rivaleries or old partners. It seems like this is the begining of a story. Yet the pho fails to tell it. Not a bad shot just seems pretty average to me.

I think I would have prefered it if the DOF was deeper and streatched to the other ring as well. This shot meets the challenge and is well done. Another thing I think would have made this shot a little more interesting would be to have the picture on the bed be a shot of the reason behing the separation. I.E. wife and pool boy, woman with a black eye or sutch. I feel that would have added a lot more power to this shot. Great shot as it is but I feel it lacks the power needed to carry a ribbon.

Separation of State

eewwy gooey round stuff. Geen light and cool shadows. I love all of that . I do feel however that the base detracts from the photo. Perhaps is the base had a silver cloth draped around it giving it more of a supernatural feel It would have worked better for me. As for the background.. i'm undecided .. but But I like the green goo soo much that i'm still going to give ya a 7

When will they GO to get me ?

ok while I catch the separation it seems to fit isolation better to me. I beleive that I would be able to score this better if I had any clue at all what I was looking at. I am assuming this is some type of game simular to othello. so i'll have to base my score off of that asumption. Technicaly a decent phot but I don't feel thaat the shallow DOF worked well here.

Egg-centric

very clean and crisp photo thats shows separation taking place. While this is not a peice I would have to run home and frame it is still very well done. One thing does look a little off to me however. The egg white looks to have some sickly green tinge to it. Other wise well done

Verry touching and emotional photo. I do however see two things that I dont care for in this shot. first the kids hands are a bit out of focus. Second. the little white cresent shaped spott in the middle. Its distracting. I either want to know what it is or get rid of it.... overall wonderfull shot.

woohoo I like this oil shot. I think it shows the separation pretty well. I also love the funky green. It gives me a sci-fi Alein feel. great shot. a boring suject made interesting.

Engine being separated from carriages.

wow wonderfull shot of an old train. I expecialy love the steam, and the great maroon color. I fully undestand the separation and feel that it is pretty obvious. For a train fan this shot is bound to be a hit, however you might get rougher up a little by the others. The only complaint I have is that I would have liked a little more lighting down low to bring out some more of the details. grat shot.

Nature's moment of separation.

Great angle, capture, and composition. I feel however that you DOF was just a little too shallow causing the outline of the bug to go out of focus. I also feel that a touch more lighting on the bug would have been nice. I love the capture and the use of brokeh the best however.

Tropical Exposure

While this fits the challenge. I feel that this could have been shot better. There is a bright spot on the banana / peel that is very distracting. I also feel that you could have made better use out of the bright yellows from the banana. just seems to have enough imperfection to make it fairly uninteresting.
