Red and blue, just for you

A superb berry splash in a wine glass. I feel, however, that the reflected colors along the edges of the glass detract from the composition as a whole--perhaps a larger plain background was in order? The stem feels cut off at an odd place--something unbalanced about it too me. I'll let others help you decide if these are complementary colors...

Autumn In Bloom
by GolferDDS

Comment:
This image has a lovely warm glow and really feels like a field in autumn. I think that in order to really "pop" the focus on the tip of the teasle and the yellow seed head needs to be a bit crisper--the softness seems to push it toward blending with the background. There are also a few distracting elements in the composition especially around the edges, but the most egregious of these is the dard green leaves of another plant in the upper right hand corner. Overall, this has such a warm-day feeling to it that I almost want to excuse the flaws.

Peppers

Beautiful setting. I love the way the colors are arranged and play here. Definitiely full of contrast and complements! There are a few things that detract from the success of this picture, however. It feels tilted, perhaps cropping could level it? The lighting throws harsh highligts--if you have a polarizing filter it might help pull those down a bit so the emphasis would be on the peppers. The image seems pixelated--maybe a factor of oversharpening or just having a low-resolution image to work with--but those jaggy lines draw attention. Overall, a good eye for color and form, just a little more work on the technicalities and you'd have a very pleasing image here.

The red and green divide the photo in a pleasing way. I like the contrast of sharp and unfocused parts and it gives depth and texture to the image. The bug(?) seems to lack focus, and since it wants to be the focus of attention it would help if it were better defined.

Pleasing composition. The dynamic of the diagonals helps provide contrast to the sleeping child.

Interesting study in shape and line. The orange rust and the pale blue paint almost make this fit the challenge.

Bloom

The blossom has a great deal of character and depth. The lighting on the bloom is dull, however. The background tree is somewhat distracting. Noise lends a bit of an old-fashioned feel to the subject, just too many distractors to make this an exception rendering of the subject.

The composition is pleasing in its layout. The image seems over exposed and the focus off.

A Bouquet of Compliments

Comment:
The colors are a bit weak for the challenge topic. The square crop compliments the circular composition, but the subject itself does not carry a great deal of interest or appeal for me.

Black and White

Cute expression. Interesting framing of the subject. The dirt on the dogs face is moderately distracting. To me, black and white are not complementary colors.
