Very simplistic and yet still extraordinary. What I like most is your use of space.

Seems mundane to me.

Sink Your Teeth In
by vonautsch

Comment:
Great pic. I'll elaborate about what I like and don't like. This is a very intersting concept and very well executed except for the shadows. In my opinion, they crowd the shot too much, and they definitely make weird designs that detract the viewer's attention from the knife. Also, this photo doesn't need that red dish (? i think it's a dish) at all. Zoom in, crop things out, and be bold with your statement of green, silver, and black.

Narcissistic Potato Masher

Comment:
Excellent example of still life, but it's just nowhere as good as some of the others. I would try to think more about what the challenge will mean to different people, and then think about what it will mean to you. This would probably be excellent for another challenge, just not this one.

Predator and prey (deer and coyote) skulls in water
by WhidbeyPix

Comment:
Way too blurry for it's own good. The thing about bone and skulls is that they have a texture all their own. I usually like seeing skulls photographed in black and white because it gives them this bleached, dry personality. But yours are wet. Fine. I just don't get what you were trying to accomplish with the blur...as a viewer, I'm confused. That shouldn't happen.

Still Life with Pickle

Get rid of the pickle...substitute a red chili pepper and this could've been greatness. Your sense of color and mood is incredible...except for that damn pickle! Really this is great. Excellent job.

Just Add Breath

I'm not sure why I gave this a four. I think I didn't like the black background at first. I look at it now and see that it's full of detail. It would have been better had you zoomed in more, and possibly projected the notes onto the flute. I don't know, maybe you did that, but it's not apparent. You get a 6.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ...

What an eerie photo. Very poetic, somehow. I'll elaborate. The lighting is incredible, almost totally self-sufficient, actually. The color extablishes a warm mood, and the crableg makes it eerie. That's not a bad thing. You've got a keen sense of warmth and color. I just don't like the spilled wine, I don't know what it means. In this type of photo where you set the mood so perfectly and in such a unique way, you need to show you're totally in control and not accidentally putting together a bunch of 'things'. Make the viewer think you're in control!

Awesome...now become friendly with black-and-white film and higher resolutions.

Green on Blue on Green
by sonasand

Comment:
Good concept. Patchy execution. I'll elaborate. It's not very clear in terms of resolution, and I don't think that's what you were going for. The textures that mix together in this photo could very well spell the difference between your 6 and, say, an 8. Not a huge fan of the dish, although I like the transposition of wrinkled blue on wrinkled green. You should be commended for making green and blue look good together as well; not many people do that correctly.
