Nice setup, but the lighting is a little flat.

This image doesn't do much for me. The focus is soft, the colors don't pop, and there is too much empty space.

This image is the best I have seen for this challenge so far. Good concept and composition. I love the bright, sharp colors. Best of luck to you.

Great shot! Good lighting and nice detail on the cattail and great use of depth of field.

Oooo Shiny Shapes!!

The background almost completly obliterates the earrings. If the earrings are the focus, they should be on a less cluttered background. Without the earrings, the sequins could make a decent shot as well. The lighting on this one is also too dark and the focus is soft.

The focus is not sharp enough on this one.

The Downward Spiral
by JamD

Comment:
The idea is good, but I think the composition could be better. I don't like the way there is so much room at the top while the bottom stairs are cropped. I think you should explore other angles. I realize this can be challenging with something like a spiral staircase, but a more straight down angle would show the shape better. Perhaps underneath looking up? Also, the lighting is uneven, like you were using a flash and it reflected more off the closer steps than the other ones.

wind chimes

I like the shallow depth of field, but the bottoms of the chimes really need to be tack sharp for this to work and they are not. I am also bothered by the yellow cast.
