This definately meet the challenge as it portrays "White Noise" beyond fitting the challenge there isn't a lot to say about it. I tend to agree with the comments left behind it is just to dark and not all that interesting.

You would have improved greating if the lighting was a little strong and crop in more on just the picture from the tv.

I did read your comment and I know the feeling too it just sucks to not have a submission! You did a pretty good critique of it too. Nice try on a last minute attempt and as someone said in the comments...nice experiment. I agree cause it could work if it weren't so dark.

Nice image well done in good focus. Meets challenge cause you can almost hear the bacon cooking when you look at it. Actually right now I think I can smell it too. =o)

Only real thing I see to improve upon this image is it appears a little undercooked and overexposed in the one end of the skillet. Nice overall look though, well done.

Sorry for the pun couldn't help myself.

Piano

Different concept of how you did this. Its interesting, and definately does meet the challenge. Your focus seems pretty good in that the keys of the piano are in relatively good focus.

The only thing I don't like about the image is the one hand with the movement, although that makes it interesting it also takes away in so much as the white area caused by the moment of the hand.

It was definately interesting and does get your attention, I can almost here the music now.

I simply adored this shot when I first saw it during the voting. Its very well thought out. Someone mentioned the shoes being set up, need to come to my house there is usually at least one pair of shoes near there and usually little boy's clothes too.

It is in relatively good focus, the dof is good. The only thing that really could be better is the lighting, but I know bathrooms aren't always the best of places for good lighting near the floor.

Definately meets the challenge. Well done and remember to put the seat down when you finish...sorry I couldn't help myself...I have to agree I would have loved to see this finish higher!

This is very soft on the focus an unsharpening mask may have helped. Also when taking baby photos get down on the same level as them don't take the photo looking down at them. The camera was obviously higher than the babies face.

"The Break"

Very interesting image, like everyone else says I can also hear the break. I do agree with many of the comments this would have been a wonderful motion photo also.

The focus and dof are good on this. I tend to agree about the blue of the pool table most are green but I have seen a few blue ones, and I am thinking the lack of lighting after the intial flash is the reason for the deepness of the blue table and the balls being a little dark.

Overall it is a good shot and there isn't a lot you can do to improve on it, but if there is any kind of a motion challenge in the near future I'd do it again if I were you =o)

Heron Home

Very nice photo of the Herons looks as though they are loving each other. The birds are in very good focus and it is obvious you have captured them in their home enviroment.

The leaves in the lower right corner are very distracting. A bit overly exposed but I believe that was something you had no control over as it looks like sunlight causing that. You could have though tried cropping in closer to the birds and cutting out that corner. I believe it would have improve the image greatly by cropping out all the leaves across the bottom and right side.

In all though that is a really good capture of the birds! Nice shot Rob very well done.
