Iced Cold

You lost the focus on the lemon. A little wider aperture and you'd have had it. This isn't a bad photo though, just need to focus on the whole thing.

The colors on this one look way off, more pink than yellow or red or orange. I think a slight adjustment would've been a better bet and maybe even brightening up the yellows a bit. This doesn't look convincingly hot to me.

I get the sensation that 1000 little polyester fibers are stuck in my teeth. The little hairlike things are reall visable against the dark chocolate. Honestly, this is pretty good and a great idea. nice job

Hot! Hot! Hot!

I understand the concept of this pic, but the printed photo resolution is very bad. The fire isn't showing really well either. I like the idea, the execution just didn't turn out as well as it could have.

I hope that thermometer didn't just come right out of the fishtank. Good idea though to add some color to this pretty cold (colorwise) photo. DOn't know how sanitary it is though.

Composition - Well I'm gonna take a stab at the question that I think you're trying to ask. "What is that bright glowing thing up there?" I don't know if that's it, but maybe its another interpretation. At any rate, I think it meets the challenge. The concept is good. The lighting of this shot is really good. The overexposure of the streetlamp and the dim light on the street are very well done and balanced where one is not too dark and the other not too bright. The subjects pose is convincing too. Good work.

Technical - I think the only thing that kept this one from getting any higher is the motion blur of the subject. Meaning you should've just froze and took the picture midstep instead of walking. It could work as a motion blur if you made it look more intentional. It's kind of in the area where it's almost intentional looking, but not quite. Exposure and framing are right on in this shotl

Overall - pretty well done. Only one thing that I think the voters had to hammer you on, and I am pretty sure they did. But I think it is a pretty good picture. The focus issue will never die here. If you don't make it look sooooo obvious that you did this on purpose, voters will think you messed up. At least half of them I believe will think that when a picture isn't crystal clear. Good luck in the future challenges - Bob

Good pose and form. A classic style nude done very well. I might have adjusted the pose to make the area between the models navel and nether regions not quite so wrinkly. She OBVIOUSLY isn't fat one bit and that just looks a little weird to me. One of my top 2 for this challenge. Good luck.

Just us.

Playful, intimate, fun. Not sold on the post shot effects, but concept of the picture is good. Maybe my wife will "pose" like this for me. Seriously, of the couple shots this one is by far the best :) I like this picture, you did a good job with it.

Don't like the graininess of it. I think you should've went with something besides head on. Now if this were a chick, that's a whole different story :)

I like the surrealist take on this but I think you should've went with a little more. I'm thinking more like both breasts and possibly a face, masked if need be. I think a little too much is cut off. Idea is intense. The banana at the top gives it the Dali quality to me. Nice work
