This photo is probably already been put up for disqualification already. I'm really amazed with this and, at first sight, can't believe this can be done without cheating...The moon that big and in focus AND the very small animal in front in focus together...If it is genuine, I really think this should win! I voted a 10

ooh I LOVE this one!!! The sky could have been just a little more threathening to add even more drama to the picture, but it's also ok now!
Your colours are realistic, though strong, your compostion is great, that little bush in the background really confirms your deep DOF..this must be a winner's photo!!

this is a very peaceful photo to look at, first of all because of the composition and second because of the black and white.
In the composition, everything is working for the middle piece, the vase. The lines seem to cut the photo, leaving the middle. The vase itself is not really in the center, but you absolutely created the IDEA that the vase is centered.

It seems to me that the lines are a bit tilted, I don't know whether my eyes are playing tricks on me, because you didn't stand in front of the cupboard, but slightly to the left of it (because I can see the sites of the right board, but not the sites of the left board), or because the photo IS tilted. You can easily figure this out in Photoshop (for example).

For a black and white picture, there is a lot of grey showing. The vase is nice and deep black, but the parts of the cupboard that aren't in the shadows, would have made the photo more attractive when they would have been a bit more white.

There is nothing wrong with this picture, but the centering of the main object, leads in this photo to a peaceful picture. This photo is a great example that a move of the vase to the left or to the right would have spiced up the picture a lot..
but since this was the challenge of the 'centered composition' you did a really good job on it!

you managed to show the difference between the two lightsources and the title is well chosen! I love the sphere you put down with this photo, the use of colours and the composition! Top 10 photo!!

Moving Towards the Light

too bad the upper part of the photo is overexposed and the light at the end of the tunnel is too weak...it also seems like you overused the Unsharp Mask. The idea is wonderful though!

Flower with sunlight & blue halogen glow

I don't think the purple light is adding something to the flower and the top of the leaves are overexposed...furthermore, the picture is too blurred, nothing is in focus. Good idea, presentation is not so good..

you really needed the second light from the left to colour in the grass, the orange lights adds great colour contrast to the picture! Great use of the lights thus!

Lights at the House of John

strange atmosphere you created...but who's john, why is he having those strange lights on his table and what is the other disturbing thing on the table? All in all..you didn't really used the light to actually light the scene a bit more...this picture raises questions..
