Very nice exposure a crop on the violin. I think it would be better with the negative space cut reduced by about half. (7)

Very nice. I like the selective desaturation use here.

I like the lighting and composition here. (8) This could have been in the broken and metal challenges as well :)

The Ability to Discover New Worlds
by jbsmithana

Comment:
Normally a shot this busy doesn't work for me but in this case it does. I find myself following all the different ropes trying to figure out where they go. Very nice composition and exposure. I'll start with an 8, may bump later after I have looked at everything.

Watching

Your main subject is underexposed and therefore does not reveal much detail in the wood. Perhaps using a flash or shooting from a different angle would have helped. I do like the compoition and shot angle. (4)

I marked this down for the following reasons
1. Cut off part of one duck
2. The highlights appear to be blown out

Toasted Ribbon
by emilarab

Comment:
Clever idea... here is why I marked it down
1. The light reflecting off the table is harsh and distracting
2. It would have been better had the ribbon been slightly smaller so the table could fill the entire back ground
3. Lighting in from the side instead of directly above and shooting from a lower angle would have brought out more texture

I can't determine what you where trying to achieve here. There is no focal point and nothing appears to be in focus.

3rd elephant butt and counting... :)
Never though I'd actually like shots of an elephant butt (3rd one and counting :-) )but they have all been good, I like the tail on yours (7)
