I am not sure whether this is grainy or just looks this way. I would have used a bit more diffused lighting here. Othewise a nice macro shot. :-)

Edge of Roof - Edge of Sanity
by flip89

Comment:
I would have rotated it 180 degrees, this way I have an unnatural feeling of looking down from a roof. :-) Good idea, the dark part of the top is a bit distracting, I would have inclded just a tiny stripe to show the roof itself.

Composition is a bit busy for me, and I can't really find a main subject on your photo... The idea is good, just needs a better performance.

Bordering walkway !
by tolovemoon

Comment:
Good idea that the bricks make a frame for your photo. Anyway I would have rotated it a few degrees CCW, because it's not straight especially on the top. Lighting... well, truly it's only the edge that's lighted. :-) Interesting. A mistake that came out well because of the title of the challenge. :-)

Death After Life or Life After Death ?
by Charles Philip

Comment:
Unique idea, the story of the photo is one of my favourites here! The transition between life and death is truly one of those mistical boundaries that's hard to understand exactly and catches most people\'s fantasy! I also like that the living rose is so soft, and the dead one is rough. Just 2 small issues I have to mention here: I would have rotated the photo 1 degree CCW, because the borderline between the 2 sheets is not perfetly vertical. I also would have used one more lightbulb to make the shadow of the living rose more diffused. All together a great job!

Simplicity B&W Version
by cbeller

Comment:
Wonderful in B&W. :-) Now that I can compare the 2 photos, I think I have to rethink my comment on the original. :-) The blue skirt helped to balance the distractness of the lean-to (fence?) in the foreground. Both versions are great otherwise. :-)

Test Your Snake-Phobia-Boundary !
by Mona

Comment:
The snake could have more accent here and I would have chosen a more homogenic background, otherwise the idea is one of my favourites in this challenge! Take 8 from me.

Unique idea, and excellent lighting! Your choose of subject is simply amazing! I like the background transition from white to black, too. One of my few 10s in this challenge, my pick for a ribbon! :-)

Will you give to charity?
by Samara

Comment:
Good idea, on the edge of keeping or giving it to charity! :-) I would have used a homogenic dark background and money could be a bit more in focus, otherwise I like the unique idea here.
