In the Shadow of the Little Match Girl

The shot brings lots of interest. I am a bit lost with the busyness of the background as it merges with the shadow and matches.

Ok, I admit I don't get the title at all. That being said my score isn't based upon MY understanding. My score is based upon the shot. I like the portrait orientation, and the way you have used DOF background blur. The light at the top of the shot adds interest for me and while I am sure there will be those that mark you down for challenge relevance, but for me the shot stands on its own. Very nice shot.

I like this capture. My biggest issue with this one is the lighting. I like the lighting on the main piece falling, but the impact of that lighting is that the reflection in the bowl is instantly distracting, and the popcorn in the bowl is lost as it is much less sharp than the rest of the image. Still solid shot and I like the thought process on the shot.

I really like this shot. The admit tickets look a bit hokey for my personal taste, but the composition, and lighting are just excellent. Very solid shot. Technical side I just think it is a very solid shot. I probably won't jump off the page on the voting scale because it doesn't have the "wow" factor, but the solid shot is a big plus from me.

Good solid shot. Nice composition and the lighting really helps this shot pop. While joke intended it also is a fact in this shot. Well done indeed.

I like the take on the challenge. Good composition. The leftmost popcorn has some OOF areas but nothing large enough to lose points from me. on the really really nitpicky side the knife has something on it. But in the end neither of those things impact my scoring in a significant way at all and this is a very nice solid and well composed shot.

A nice take on the challenge. Nothing sticks out as particularly bad but nothing that shoves it over the 6 mark for me either. A nice solid and well constructed shot.

A nice solid shot. I imagine capturing this was quite difficult. A nice solid shot and it scores very well from me.
