Out of the bottle

A wonderful shot Eric. I think it just missed the extra kick given the bottle is not as predominant as it might have been. I like the overall feel--it's like old time glamour shot.

Very pretty! One of my favorite flowers in the challenge. Love the soft tones and the glow. What did you do in this case to produce it? (Reminding myself too I need to go fill in my notes on mine.)

Pink Grapefruit Spritzer

Great Owen! Congrat's on your well deserved top 10 finish. Wasn't sure, and the details don't say: I assume this is a grapefruit frozen in ice? Or is this looking down into a glass that is foaming?

Ouch--Heida crept in at the last minute. This is a great shot. Still, congrats on this finish. I still think they should give ribbons for fourth. Geesh, it won't cost them anything!

Subtle shades of pink

Good shot of the fish, that's difficult to capture. It would be nice to work out better lighting than frontal flash for these shots. It kind of has a snap shot look as is. And pink isn't a strong color in this shot. (Note: I scored this a few days ago, so if a score coincides with this critique, it isn't mine.)

Nice idea, and definitely enough pink. However, this to me seems "flat" as a duotone. I'd like to have seen some sparkle in the glass, or something to brighten this up, the pink alone doesn't do that. (Note: I scored this a few days ago, so if a score coincides with this critique, it isn't mine.)

Excellent composition and very pretty flower and branch. Good background and low key frame. Minor crits: the flower may be a bit overexposed on the left edge and below, or it could just be that stark white. Also, the stamen area of this flower could be clearer--it seems to have some chroma noise. (Note: I scored this a few days ago, so if a score coincides with this critique, it isn't mine.)

The thumbnail attracted me to this one in particular. The background is great, the setting is great and it has very good sharpness.

One suggestion would be a slight crop of the background to the right, just enough to get his head a little further away from horz center and put him closer to the sweet spot.

Although it contributed to this wonderful background, and I know it can be tough with macros, but a little more DOF next time or putting the hyperfocal point so his eye is in focus would have made this a killer shot.
