Darkness & Light

Really great dramatic lighting, there's a fabulous composition as well but I just wish the eyes would be lighter, well whiter actually, that would really bring them out more. BUt I really do like the even grayscale on the skin. This is maybe one of the best entries about the subject dark and light.

DEATH & The LOVERS

The lighting seems a little flat and therefore it just looks like the picture isn't really popping. I do love the composition and the setup. You should've brought the cards out by maybe dodging them, as well as the ring, that could have created a dramatic image. Great idea nontheless.

Maybe one of the best cow pics that I've found in this challenge. It's humourous, fun and tehnically a great shot as well. The colours are great, the matt green of the grass and yet the saturated browns of the cows create a great contrast. And of course what produces the best effect is the wide angle, and you've managed to successfully focus on the cow's eyes...hm... Did he lick your camera? :P The only advice I could have given you was either to somehow avoid the ranch in the far right, or to just crop it off in photoshop, but if you don't want to loose the balance by cutting that cow's butt, then well you can just clone it out after the challenge.

Classic idea, yet there weren't any in this challenge that caught my eye. It's a great catch but I think there are some things you could improove like the lighting, though you did not get any glares on the glass, there are some on the bottom part, wish that had been avoided has it catches the eye of viewer but it's just a minor detail. The bubbles on the glass, there was some way you could avoid it as well but I can't really remember, I think it was boiling the water or something. Anyway I love the background as well, the highlights on the ripples, the color, that was a really good choice.

I absolutly love it, how cute :P Really clever idea and a good portrayal of the challenge my only advice would have been to make the DOF bigger so that more could be seen and the viewer ould immediatly understand the humour in the picture. 9

Really bad quality. Looks fake, not the diamond, the image

The lighting is kind of flat, the composition is most likely dull I would have loved this image if it popped more and the dollars in the bakground were more visible. That said I still think this image is fabulous, clever, very clever idea.

Nice, really nice I quite like it. The lighting is kind of dark but that adds mood and makes it more different than a jewelery product shot. The only thing that I'm being quite tiddy about is that I wish the "diamonds" would be scattered around , it's quite weird like this.
