This is a great candid capture. I like the color, exposure and DOF. The composition and position of the people is really interesting and compelling. You've picked up some nice textures on the fabric of his jeans and the folds of her jacket.

I like the DOF here, the creases in the thumb and the numbers on the buttons come across loud and clear. The black and white choice is great - it helps to minimize the background items that don't relate to the TV and the "viewer". A less centered composition might make for a stronger comment.

Deco Ashtrays Not Needed Here Anymore
by Kylie

Comment:
I like the colors and the composition very much. The angles of the ashtrays and their positions work well. The focus could be crisper - or to really go for a "look" the DOF could allow for one or two to be softer than the other with a different angle.

I was confused if the habit was recycling or drinking. The lighting and chaotic assembly of the bottles and cans is nice. I like the colors and some of the keylight reflections - but the hot contrast on the keystone is a little too much. I like the lines of your composition - the diagonals work well and the DOF and focus is good.

A very nice shot - the repetition of the bottle lends itself to the habit idea. I like your choice of lining them up in the sun with the louvers creating the lines. For such a particular shot I'd like to see things a little more precise ... the labels and embossing all lined up. Good colors, I like the balance of the reds and yellows.

Bad Habit!

Nicely shot - good exposure, I like the blackness you attained with the background. In the end though, the composition is not terribly compelling.

"T" in place

The colors here are nice. The background is a little bland and doesn't add much to the composition. The contrast could be bumped up a little bit - it all seems slighly washed out. I'm not sure if it's caused by her position, but it seems like the rotation is slightly off or maybe it's just that the strap on the right side is higher and the butt cheek is lower.

Why can't we feed the animals?

It's a picture of a squirrel. How does it fit the challenge? The photo itself is rather charming. I like the squirrel's pose - the colors are wonderful and I enjoy the way the posts and fencing in the background lead the eye around the frame. The tree to the right bothers me a little, I might like to see it cropped a bit to minimize it or a deeper DOF to give it more texture to contrast with the texture of the squirrel's fir.

An interesting way of staging this habit. The soft, soft focus still allows us to see the fingers, lips and teeth. I like the lighting and exposure very much. It gives the habit a rather dreamy quality.

The colors are very nice and the focus is good. The staging of the photo lacks honesty. The child only has his finger in his nose - I don't believe that he's actually picking it, so the representation of the habit is a little diluted. The eyes could be lightened up, perhaps a little white bounceboard between you and the subject.
