Fish Fall
by RyShu

Comment:
no doubt this image will earn heaps of praise.
amazing capture.
the school of fish in the top frame seem to be in a bombing dive towards the school of fishes below.
the stripes on their skin are hypnotic.
goodluck.

Rope
by AnnaP

Comment:
IMHO, a bit more DOF so more details from the background could've come in would be nicer. Also, a background that also lends itself to texture but does not distract. You got the texture theme from the rope, but what makes this a 9 for me is that the knots imply strength in bonds/ ties. Also the frayed character of the rope conveys the strain caused by the tension/ tautness of these connections.
Or am I projecting my subconscious/ problems like a Rorschach Test?
LOL. It's easy to critique, harder to submit.
Good work. Hope you place high.

Golden eagle feathers

Comment:
At first glance, the implied texture is sharp and prickly, but then you realize they're actually soft light feathers. That's a nice irony. I wonder if a B/W treatment would be better... (voted 9)
