A Cook's Fractionsby TommyMoe21Comment: Another person chose to show proportion through measuring devices. This one works better. I'd just like to see it in sharper focus. |

Reaching for a dreamby bobdaveantComment: I can't really tell what this is a statue of. The sun flare in the top left is very distracting. Is the statue reaching for the sky? If so, a different view point to simplify the background would have helped. The tall building just gets in the way unless you intended to frame the statue so she looked the same height as the building. Forced perspective can be fun but it only works when the background isn't distracting. |

Gigantic Drum Stickby dirtkahunaComment: Without the title I don't think I would have made the connection to a drumstick and I'm married to a professional drummer. Even with the title it's a bit of a stretch since drumsticks have round, tapered tips not flat, cylindrical tips. The tower makes an imposing subject but this shot lacks tonal interest. Perhaps on a day when the sky was blue, or the clouds spectacular colors? A bit more focus on the colum would reveal more detail in the ridges and add textural interest to make up for the lack of tonal interest. |

Horny Fellowby TLL061Comment: This is too washed out looking and all those rocks in the background are distracting. It needs greater contrast and shorter depth of field. |

Dreaming of a Well-Proportioned Bodyby flip89Comment: I like what you were attempting here. The man is definitely has a look of longing or adoration on his face. Unfortuantely, the ice sculpture and the loudspeaker smack dab in the center are hard to overlook. Not a lot you can do about that except perhaps move a little to the right and take the shot at a slight angle. At least then the two distractions wouldn't completelly overlap as they are now. Lowering the viewpoint a couple of inches to include more of the audience would have helped. As they are now, they are distracting blury details (particularly the bald head). Including a bit more of them would have made a nice contrast with the man who is facing the opposite direction but also has his eyes fixed on the model. Lowering the viewpoint and cropping that inch of space above the model's head would have put him on an even higher plane than the audience and reduced that large chunk of blue in the upper right to a less important chunk of blue. High marks because I like the moment you captured in the man's expression. |

Fiddo Diddoby koksoonComment: An image like this needs greater contrast to make it really pop. Otherwise I like it. It could be improved in PS. |

Tin Tangoby AlexHugelComment: I don't find this a pleasing arrangement of these two watering cans. If it weren't for the title I would wonder why you chose to place them like this. This just doesn't work for me. |

Hot air balloon through my fingersby RUEDISCHMUTZComment: Interesting attempt but it doesn't really grab me; possibly because the hands are out of focus and the extended pinky fingers interrupt the triangle shape the hands were creating. You could have had a triangle within a triangle if you had just kept your fingers together. |

Everything in nature has the right proportion.by MonaComment: This would have been far more effective if you had removed the distracting stems---the one directly behind the flower and the one pointing to it from the left edge of the frame. Also, it looks like you focused on the foliage rather than the flower. |
