 This is a close-up shot of a vase that I have, I cropped it slightly, adjusted the contrast, despeckled and sharpened.

Very interesting macro. It has a lot of potential. The compositing is good the problem is the lighting was just to poor and ruined a beautiful photo. I'd love to see this done over with better lighting.

It meets the challenge, just watch out for shadows. Good attempt.

The dark background and the framing really help to make the shell pop out of the picture. Love the great ripples in the shell. Playing with the lighting you would get some really vivid dark patterns and make the picture a lot more interesting.

Not enough constrast. The white boarder really points out how gray the "wave" is. Colour would have added interest to this, eg: a blue background.

crisper focus would make this a much nicer shot.

A great subject but technically could maybe be a bit brighter and more exposed ?

The edges seem a bit jagged, looks unnatural. The crop is great and the subject is a classic. 6
