Oooo. Nice breast! Seriously, I really like the toning and graininess in this shot, it has a *real* feel to it, and I think that's what you were aiming for. Good job!

Good job Indi! This reminded me of one of my grandfather's photos and it got a very good score from me. Thanks for bringing up that memory!

Hi Sue

This is a very nice shot! I like the yellow of the rose contrasted with the green of the leaves. Also, the composition is very nice, having the diagonal of the plant stem to the right and the circle of the rose to the left creates loads of interest.

Good job!!

Hi Anastasia ;)

First off.. I like this picture. But, there is something missing for me.

I think I want to see just a little more darkness in this shot. That's just personal opinion.

What I do like about this pic is everything else. I like the composition. the surface of the glass presented against the surface of the liquid (frozen water?). I even like tha back light. As for the mood, it makes me feel, well... light and airy, almost non-existant.

Just a tad more dark and it would have been striking, IMO. (Alternatively, cropping the light out of the picture might have worked as well...)


Good job, I think it should have placed higher!

I love this photo. It's simple yet complex at the same time. The diagonals running through out and the tones you've captured are wonderful. I really love the juxtaposition of black, gray, and white. Great job!

At first I was disturbed by the focus on the rim of the hat, rather than the eyes.. however on further contemplation I do like the effect. It almost serves to draw attention to her face and hair. Good job! 9

Hi Wayne,
First off let me say that I think this photo shows great imagination and creativity. Well done in that regards! Now, to the meat and potatoes of the critique. The biggest thing that bugs me about this photo is that the colours feel very dull. The reds and greens don't pop out of the picture like I expect them to. The reflections are well controlled on the glass jar, but a bit overwhelming on the silver band. Other than those couple nitpicks, I think this a well executed shot.

Good job and good luck in future challenges!

This is a great shot, but it needs to have just a bit more brightness to it to really wow me. 8

Hi Owen,

I particularly enjoyed this shot because I felt it was a good execution of a good idea. The DOF is good on the Celica but I would have liked to see a little more on both the porches. On the top porsche that front headlight out focus is distracting too me and on the bottom it's the out of focus taillight that bothers me.

As for the composition - I like the colours you put together, red, yellow, and blue and I like the drop shadowing on the pictures and the text. It makes this pleasing to look at.

Overall a good job in my opinion! Good luck in the next challenge!

A Simple Way To Go Faster Than Light That Does Not Work

I initially thought this photo was just another blurry shot. After sitting and pondering it a while, I realized it was the work of an experienced photographer that knew what they were doing.

How? The bluriness is all very controlled. It's not just random motion blur, but more like slow deliberate blur. It got a 7 from me. Good job! Keep posting what you like - 'cause I like it too!
