Use a single, artificial light source to dramatically light the subject of your choice.

I see two light sources...

Comment:
I don't really like flowers and this doesn't do much for me but I hope this does well. I like the lighting.

Light Study #13
by esdarby

Comment:
Oi, nice colours. And lighting -- if not a bit too harsh towards teh leftmost grapes.

The Great Expectation
by Photopromo

Comment:
Oi, nice. The cloth (tulle?) adds a lot to the composition.

Masquerade
by Pedro

Comment:
Oi, ten points for the creepy mask. Yeah.

Queen of the Laundry Pile

Comment:
CTPII, yeah.
Oi, you broke the 6 barrier. Good for you!
You met the challenge head-on and finished with aplomb. The subject you chose (yeah, you) tugged at a lot of "I can relate" strings and probably gave you that high score.
Your technicals and color handling is improving (a lot) and a bit more PP skillz and you're good to go.
Congrats on your PB.

Seattle Temple
by margiemu

Comment:
Oi! from the CPT MkII.
Wow, can't think of anything to say...
I like the architecture of the building. It's "clean" and "modern" and all that. Composition's okay. Could be better, could be worse, but definitely on the good side.
Bump up the contrast, shift the sky's hue to a bluer hue, ease up on the sharpening, and I guess we'll have ourselves a postcard. Yeah, and a little recomposition, I guess.

Driving People Crazy
by margiemu

Comment:
CTP II, yeah.
Heh, your subject's a dork.;-p
Not movie poster material, though. It's more along the lines of propaganda material.;-p
Not really against the faked motion blur, just control and tighten that selection. The sloppy application of blur doesn't do your photo wonders.
Hey, at least it's not a snapshot anymore. Yeah.

St. James arriving to the temple
by alexgarcia

Comment:
CPT MkII, clocking in.
Not very familiar with religious establishments but if I see correctly, you wish to give the impression that the two statues, had they not been inanimate, have travelled faaaaaar and away and have arrived at this particular edifice, is that about right?
LOL, if it is. Droll humour, yeah. The lighting's a bit flat, though, innit? Also, the whole thing lacks punch. A different angle, perhaps, or recomposition? Whatever man, it's an okay photo all in all.
