Nothing is ever as Simple as it Seems!

Very clever! A good simple shot but I think it could have been more interesting compositionally. The background is a bit distracting, and I think for this shot you could have cropped the video camera on several sides to make it more dynamic and less a "product" looking shot. Good imagination!

Yellow Rose

Wonderful texture and very good composition. I think the yellow part of the flower works so well, I find the redish center "distracting". I'd be interested to see how this looked with the red removed.

Consider the Lily

The light and tones are wonderful here. Very painterly. The composition works, but I find the greenery on the far left somewhat distracting and not as lush as the center stem and flower. That plus the right lean of the flower, and I would have been tempted to crop and put the flower in the left third. Overall, very nice.

Love the foreground tree and crop. Would have liked this to be bigger; some oversharpening evident especially in the back trees (halos).

Very nice texture and light; the shadows could be improvedwith a bit more detail (e.g., the front of the lower right rock).

Sponge Bath

Neat idea; love the color contrasts. I think it would be more dynamic without the curve at the top; really emphasizes the perspective and colors there, and ... much simpler!

Bare Symmetry

Comment:
Good shot, very simple with good aesthetics. I think it would be best sharper; some USM would have helped (and I am not a USM obsessed person). Also, it would be good in the final version to get rid of the dark shadows/dirt in the snow or on the wall, whatever this is.

Pill

I like the crop, and an interesting and simple idea. But for a photo that's mostly white, the very soft, OOF pill doesn't offer enough of a dose.

I really like the overall composition here of the foreground. I think I would have preferred it without the shadow. Also, the white highlights are a bit strong (from reflections or oversharpening).

Very clever idea, well done. Costly photo though!
