Greetings From the Critique Club, Don!
I apologize for the late critique... the queue has been backed up for a long while. We seem to have the new requests under control and have started on the backlog from long ago.
Anyway, to the matter at hand.
What a wonderful image of a rather boring subject!
You've really gotten a lot of mileage out of an ear of corn. I love those silks... creating havoc and excitement. Your use of strong lighting also adds to the interest of the image. Well done!
For the record, I disagree with the comment asking for fill light on the dark side. I think that the mystery is my favorite part of the image.
I might have cropped the bottom off... so that the bright spots don't overpower the mystery... but that's my only nitpick.
Congratulations again on your HM! |

| Congrats on the HM, Don. Corn is nice enough but your photo of it is so much more appetizing. |

Nice shot Don. The silk shadows on the kernels add a lot to the depth of the image.
Congrats on just doing what you are very good at, and on having the voters appreciate it.
I'm also a Fuji fan. I wore out a couple of S3 Pro's before getting a Nikon. |

I'd say to return it out of principle! |

| Wow! Very wonderful! So 3-dimensional, I wanted to rub my screen to make sure there weren't any bumps on it. Congratulations on the front page honorable mention. |

I am a Fujifilm addict thanks to  jagar advice but seldom appear on the first page. So, keep the camera after all.
It was 8 from me, btw. |

| Nicely captured details and good light angle for the strands, but the composition could probably have been improved. Also some fill light on the dark side couldn't have hurt - a white posterboard or piece of paper would probably do the trick well enough, failing that some aluminum foil or an actual reflector or light. |
