Why can't studies be simpler?

We must use the same optician as my specs look identical.

The diagonal works well in this but because you can only see the top sheets of the book it give an unbalanced feeling. I feel if you lit a little of the spine it would make it feel more like a book .

Revisiting I am looking at this on a different screen and can see all the spine, It would seem that my laptop at home is rather darker...

nice idea, however the holding of the peb does not look natural to me. It looks like you have held the camera in your right hand to shoot this image.

Try using a tripod or rest the cammera on something (Some books and a beenie). You can then concentrate on your left hand then.

Good Composition- I would have used an additional light source to reduce the shadow as it is can be a little distracting in the middle of the image.

I wonder what it would have looked like if you had lit the candle

good take on this theme. The background is a little distracting - to much colour perhaps

Student´s glasses

You have probably received feedback n the heart, shadow, copying an earlier challenge. - I like it; it̢۪s a good take on the idea, and works here.

The pencil lets down the composition for me; it is much stronger than the delicate construction of the spectacles, and therefore rather than balancing the images, tends to take over. If the pencil were at more of an angle this may help.

The only obviosly British Photo. (Its the conker that gives the game away) I feel that the light source is a little to bright casing glare on the coins and the writing on the pencil/ smartie cap.

Good strong composition. Simplicity always works.

The walk to class
by Cam

Comment:
I like the composition of this. A grand imposing picture- I like it.

To be a little nit picking, the title is "The walk to class" yet the image shows push bikes and someone sitting down. This image would be better without these two and an image of someone walking through the arch/ across the arch

I feel that this image could be improved with the use of a different background. The Tartan is rather distracting.

The thumbnail does not do this picture justice.

I like it.

I suspect that you will have negative feedback from some.
