Hitting The Snooze Button

I really like this picture- one of my favorites for this challenge. I like the thoughtful approach to the topic and the execution is top-notch. The lighting and exposure looks very good and the focus is crisp. I think I would have preferred to see this in color (with a different hammer if this is one of those with a bright yellow handle) and a non-white background.

Nice lighting and focus. Very clean picture. I might have preferred a tighter crop on the subjects and a more square frame.

Nice focus and background. It feels like something is missing from this photo, but I can't place it. Maybe if the fuses were lit... ;)

The Lights at Night

The lights in this image, aside from the moon, aren't defined well enough to be interesting. A shot zoomed in on the moon through the leaves might have made for a better entry.

Moon at Sunset

I think the contrast between the bright parts and the dark parts of this picture are too great. Perhaps the light will be a bit softer when it is filtered through the trees a few minutes later (assuming this is sunset). Alternatively, some fill flash might help brighten the monuments.

the Big opposites

The lighting on this picture looks "off". A different white balance setting may help remove the yellowish tint cast over the image.

This is a pretty ugly subject and idea. I like the photo technically. The focus and DOF are very good. The background color is a good contrast to the rest of the image. Unfortunately, the photo leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth...

Any greater opposites? Male & Female

The light reflections on the models are a bit distracting. Interesting composition- you definitely get the impression of opposites.

The bright background and unused space at the upper left detract from this photo. Good focus and light on the subjects.
