Great closeup of a fire plug. fire hydrant. The layers of peeling paint really help to give a sense of texture. The darker background combine with the contrasting colors of the subject really makes the composition interesting. The frame looks a bit too big for the shot. "10" anyways.

Nature's Texture

The composition is very interesting with the diagonal setup of the corn reaching for the sky. The contrasting colors of the sky and the corn really help to make your eyes concentrate on the corn. Great DOF on the corn. The shadows really bring out the texture of the corn.

The circular shapes of the outer dark bowl and the inner yellow bowl brings your eyes toward the main subject of the flower. The use of a dark bowl makes you eyes follow from left toward the right of the colorful subjects. The bowls seem to form separate frames for the within each other. The gap on the right side is good because it gives you an idea of the shape of the bowl, other wise you won't know what it is.

The different shades of yellow/gold hues in the bowl really works complimentary to the vibrant pink color of the flower and makes it pop out even more.

Feels like the keys on a piano. I like how the steps lead your eyes toward the background. The angles really have some beautiful abstract lines.

Beautiful closeup of the cards. Subject is place in a position that gives great interest to the composition. I like how you can see the the texture of the paper itself. Nice and simple. "10"

On Edge

Very original composition. The beautiful highlights in the bubble really makes it (no pun intended) pop out of the shot.The blurring of the background bubbles helps also to bring it out. It's very crisp and sharp definition makes this a very impressive image. The color choosen for the background is very nice. Simple composition with a vertical crop works perfectly.

Only thing I don't like is the choice of the frame. Way too dark. Maybe a lighter color or no frame would work better. Even with this nothing less then a "10"

Beautiful hues of purple in the flower.The green of the grass really contrasts well with the color of the flower. The depth of field is incredible. "9"

Beautiful vibrant colors in the foregroung horse really makes it pop out of the background. Love the lighting on this shot. You were able to get some great shadow on the front of the horse. I like the closeup of the hand painted decorations on the subject. Excellent DOF. "10"

Beautiful details in the composition. Great separation of foreground and background. Frame is too small. Either take it off or make it larger.

Great example of DOF. The expression on the pewter statue makes it a fun shot. Contrast is excellent. The highlights really show off the shiny surface.
