When words fail...

OK, I've cut a lot of slack to flower photos, as I'm a bit partial to a nice bloom, but I'll just have to go with what I imagine is the bulk of the voters on this one, and say it dosn't even come close to meeting the challenge.

You Should Be Here

I gather this message isn't meant for me? The focus seems a little soft, but that's what you may have been going for?

Cool image! It's a little contrasty, in that the highlights are blown out slightly, and the shadow detail on the guinnes label could be slightly lighter. It is instantly guinnes though.

Go To Work On A Strawberry

Love the colour, the only distraction in this shot is the left side of the strawberry, that looks a little 'dinted' to me, compared to the luscious top right. The highlights on the silver might be just a little blown out, but it's a great image.

! Great concept.. The light is a little bland, but I wish I'd thought of it first....

Your Soulmate Awaits At Your Local Yamaha Dealer

I'm a sucker for a bike shot... :-). Th eone niggle I have iwth this is the focus on the bike seems a little soft, and the big lump of grass sticking up in front of the front tyre. In a 'real' bike add the helment also probably wouldn't be on the handlebar, but that's being really picky. Nice machine, well taken... (I also own a yamaha..)

Daisy in Champagne Glass

This is undoubtably a nice photo of a daisy, as you say, in a champagne glass. But Advertising?

The highlights on the glass left and right are a little distracting, and the lump on the stem under the surface of the water is also a bit out of place.

La Carrera Sports: Don't Stop The Race

This would make many a sponsor happy. Their logo in action. The only thing it needs to be perfect is the other cyclists in his dust.. Wee cayght action shot, with a good level of motion blur to give us the feeling of speed.

Great use of a fish-eye. I'll be intersted to see what focal length this was after voting, because if this isn't a full-frame dSLR, this must be a stupidly wide angle lens! :-).

If you were able to, it would have been intersting to turn ouf the other lights in the room, and just have the cabinet ones on, as some of the surrounds are a little distracting from the subject.

You and the Cap'n Make It Happen

You've got a bit of what looks like motion blur in this shot, which is distracting.. Either that or I've already been into the rum :-). Exposure and colour are good. A tripod, or stack of books and self-timer are your friends.
