Freshly Pressed Grapefruit Juice

A fun image. I like the choice of background since it makes the yellows that much richer and brighter. The focus is great, lighting is good too though I think the hand could use just a little more oomph. I like the composition but I don't like that the hand is cut off at the top. Everything looks good for the most part. 6.

Smiling through yellow liquid

How very abstract. I love the tones and the vividness of the colors. There's something harsh in the yellows that I normally don't like but I think is interesting here. The circles give a great feel to the photo, very mirror-like or maybe kaliedoscope-y. Nicely different and refreshing, fun too! 7 and favorited.

I love the title. Hard to imagine such richness in yellows being available by moonlight though! I like the composition, the subject matter is very interesting (ostriches are great!). I like the lighting in how it is highlighting the ostriches. It almost has a silhouette feel, but there is some detailing still visible. I'm not sure if I'd like it more if it were a true silhouette or not. Very nice. 6

Unfolding

I can't get very excited about this image. The concept is nice, the lighting brings out the vibrancy of the color, the composition is good. I like the contrast in the vertical nature of the inner stamen/petally things versus the other petals in their horizontal placements. The focus seems a bit soft on much of the image, and overall the photo doesn't inspire me to look deeper into the floral element. 4.

Yellow and Gold

Very nice composition. I like the subject choice. There is a lot of interest with the different floral elements as well as the nice curves on the vase/pitcher. Lighting seems a little too low, though it is nice. It has a very soothing, calm factor going for it. That said, I think it is helping the subject blend a bit too much into the background. This may be a case where there is too much yellow in too similar of shades. The focus is great on many of the floral elements and that helps draw the image from the background, but I find it still melds into the background more than I think is beneficial for the image as a whole. I do however like the gradient effect the background is showing with the darker gold at the bottom and lightening up towards the top a bit. 5.

"Yellowbird" of Happiness

Beautiful bird, wonderfully captured. The detailing in the wings is excellent, very nice focus. The color is lovely. It is a very nice bird capture. I wish the color was a bit brighter or there was a little more light, the bird seems I don't know.. not dull but like there's more potential for a little more oomph in the richness or brightness of the yellow. 6

The Golden Stairs

Is this Golden as in Golden Books? Took me a while to figure out the reference, but now that I have it brings back great memories. I love the nice golden color, the lighting is perfect, the focus is excellent which is necessary for a closeup like this. I love the worn edges, gives the feeling the books have been used - though I'm not sure if everyone would know these are books just from the image. Still the fun drawings on the gold foil spines is fun and interesting. I think cropping off that last book at the bottom and the beginning of the next one at the top might tie the whole thing up nicely since there are some slight focus flaws on those two areas. Nice simple set up that has been well executed. 6.

Exclusive Spy Photo! Cheddar Cow Captured!

Ha! Great image. I always wondered why cheddar cheese was yellow, now I know! Nice color, clarity is great, ambient light looks a bit low but it works very nicely. Love the humor of the image and the composition is simple but well executed. 7.

clownin' around

What a mischevious image. I love the contrast of the wild clowny hair versus the fairly bland colored clothing. The pose is great, very impish look that fits with the silliness of the hair. I like the background colors, they don't interfere with the subject at all. There seems to be a bit of haloing around the subject which is a bit odd. Also, though it looks as if this was taken outside so it may not have been an option, I wish there were some fill light on the front of the model. Nothing too much, but just to give a bit more luminescence to the skin and more pop to the model as a whole. Very nice. 6

Sunrise

I like the concept for this. I think the composition is great, love the negative space at the top. The lighting I'm not so sure really worked here. It looks as if it is being lit from underneath, which I think is creative and gives an interesting dimension, but there are some odd shadowing effects that creates which makes the petals look a bit dingy. The focus is also very soft, which could be attributed to the lighting as well. If this were sharper the impact would likely be even greater. 5.
