Eggbert meets the frying pan

I'm surprised this didn't do better. I love it, but as you probably worked out it isn't quite glossy enough to score well(don't get me wrong I like glossy too).

As you say that every aspect of the shot was intentional I think you succeeded admirably in what you set out to do.

Looking at it a bit longer, I think that there is a deep cruelty and pathos here that would probably stop me from hanging this up.

Look Who Is Coming to Dinner, from a Flea's Perspective
by olddj

Comment:
I doubt fleas can see that clearly. In fact they definitely can't. An amorphous blob of warmth would have been far more accurate, you deserve a 1 for your complete lack of pedanticism but I'll up it to a 6.

The flash reflecting off all the vertices is a little annoying.

I think it's a lovely photograph but I do not think that the eyes work.

I love this. Maybe it would be better from a slightly lower angle.

Rusty ladder perspective

Comment:
Too soft. Now I know that not all photos have to be sharp, but in this case the rust has been smoothed out of the picture. If you hadn't mentioned the rust I would have thought it was fine.(6)

It feels joyful. I like the way it looks natural, you haven't overprocessed it as I am often tempted to do.

The framing is just a little off, I think it should have been cropped a little higher.

condom sense
by sacredspirit

Comment:
Just to pick up on your description. A condom does not say 'safety'. Just because something is safe or enhances safety does not mean it evokes a feeling of safety. For example an airbag is not something that will give you a feeling of security, whereas the smell of your mother's perfume might.

And for me the picture of the condom and the cigarettes take out any eroticism, sure condoms might be a necessary and important part of the erotic, but in themselves they are the opposite.

Brilliant. Awful, awful pun. But still brilliant.
