LOVE IT! Just the littlest bit of the "SONY" label showing is keeping me from giving it a 10, as I find that too distracting. but it's certainly a solid 9 in my book!

Drink, gamble and smoke

Add a revolver, and you've got a fantastic poster with which to plasters the walls of the ATF! ::grin:: Great shot. The dust on the mirror in the lower right is just the slightest bit distracting to me, but in the concept of the whole shot, I forget about it quickly. Nice job!

The Harmful Habit of Eating Too Much

Well, the topic pretty much works, but the composition is just too haphazard for me to take the shot for much more than a snapshot at a family reunion. The noise level is also so high in this shot as to distract from most of the other content (and yes, I'm looking at the subject's left arm, shirt, and shorts to see the noise, not the sausages). And anytime such a large white spot appears in a shot, you can be assured that all attention will be dragged away from your subjects.

Playstation Habit (addiction)

great start, but take it a step further... The characters on the buttons are going to be the defining point of your subject, so use them! The lighting is bold, and the shadows really help to define the angle. Definitely a great start.

Overdose

While Ben & Jerry's may have been a better choice from where I sit, I love it! Technically I think the shot may have been better served by a narrower brightness gradiant, i.e. I find the brightness of the top too far contrasted with the darkness of the bottom. Mind, you, not really tradgic enough to take away from the shot!

Cheater's Habit

I think the concept is fabulous, and there's real skill in macro work here. My only disenchantment with the piece is that I have to look at the title to understand whic direction, if any, the ring is travelling, and the title is also my only clue as to how this fits in with "habits". While dreadfully difficult to do in macor shots, a shutter speed long enough to create a blur on the ring and "right" hand to denote direction of motion would have been a stronger clue.

Being A Little Too Adventurous

Love it. Simply put, one of the strongest shots I've seen yet. I t does leave me want a shallower DOF, though, so not _quite_ top marks...

nice lines, nice tone, nice concept.

Nervous Bite

Conceptually, a good start to an idea. Technically, it leaves quite a bit to be desired. The lack of focus detracts from the shot and brings out too much of a "snapshot" characteristic for my taste. The sepia tone is a good choice, but unfortunately it's not enough to mask the haloing around so many of the high-contrast boundries. And with a bedspread that busy, a much shallower DOF would have served you many times better.

You Snooze....

Love it, simply LOVE IT!!!! not to mention, it's one of my worst habits!!! The roundness of the shot is a little distracting, but for something this creative, I'll take it in stride!
