Love triangle?

Anyway, excellent job with the lighting. There is an overall balance with nothing too bright and nothing too dark. The composition and the subject's expression also works very well.

The negatives? The only issue is with the right hand. It's the only thing out of the focal plane and it is cropped at the knuckles. Besides that, top notch.

Thought #1: Too cluttered
Thought #2: Doesn't meet challenge
Thought #3: OH!!! I see it now!!! Awesome.

Certainly a photo that needs to be viewed for a while to be appreciated. Nice catch and good job seeing the image. You certainly have a photographic eye. That is a scene I would have walk right by without thinking twice.

The Potter's Wheel: Centering the Clay

I like the way you interpreted the challenge with the subject of the photograph rather than just the composition. The motion of the wheel plays nicely with the sharpness of the hands and background. All in all, very well done. The only detractions, and minor ones at that, are the bright reflections on the hands.

Thank you for providing a cat photograph that is well made. The lighting, focus, and composition are perfect. When a cat shows up on my screen, my cursor tends to drift to the left side of the voting scale. You are one of the exceptions.

Excellent line of sight. I love the way the sun lies perfectly with the tip of the plant. As an afterthough, and a minor one at that, I think this shot may work even better in a portrait orientation.

I can easily see this quality inside of a magazine (no pun intended). Good job on avoiding excessive reflections off of the casings.

Excellent job matching the exposure on the leaf to the background. It makes it look transparent.

An interesting view to say the least. And why not, everyone else is taking pictures from the front, it's about time someone shows us what the back of the flower look like. One thing I started doing lately when photographing flowers is placing a piece of black paper in the background. I find that it eliminates any distractions such as the leaves on the right. It also helps the flower stand out brightly.
