a cat's habit

The lighting and setting for this photo could be better. The bright light in the background distracts attention foreground. Using something other than a concrete patio would improve the aesthetic value of this photo. The focus on the cat could also be sharper.

Man's Oldest Habit

This photo isn't very interesting to me. The lighting is flat- no highlights or shadows to add some range to the image. The large area out of focus hurts my eyes when trying to look at it- the brain wants to read the words but can't make them out.

I don't care for the out of focus aspects of this picture. The lighting is pretty good. I think it provides an almost ghost-like effect.

This is too blurry for my taste.

A Real Nail Biter

Too out of focus for my tastes. Was this intentional? It looks like you went to the trouble of setting up a light source and creating some nice shadows but then only took one blurry shot and submitted it.

Doing Laundry: A Necessary Sunday Habit

Very nice shot. I especially like the light on the water drops. I don't think this is a strong entry for the habit challenge, but that probably only drops my score 1/2 point or so.

Very Funny! Great expression. I think the flash cast kind of a harsh light on this picture, though.

Overdose

This made me laugh out loud! I wish the lighting were a little more even or aimed at the front instead of the feet.

Follow-up: I'm still laughing at this several hours later. +1

Bad Hbit - Stalking Bees
by ladpupmoe

Comment:
Very nice macro shot. The bee looks giant on that flower! Was this set up or a lucky capture? If it was set up, I would prefer a bit more depth of field and a warmer light source. If it was a lucky capture, nice job getting it shot while the bee was there. I think that stalking bees is a stretch for a habit, but I won't take off any points for it.

This is my favorite of the nail-biter entries and one of my favorites for the challenge. I like the expression and the focus. Is there a specific reason for using black and white here? I might have preferred it in color to ad a little more "life" to the skin tones.
