In Search of the Loch Ness Monster

Great recreation of a famous photo. Technically not a great shot, but it does conjure up a memory of the old Nessie photo that was famous for so many years.

"Three Butterflies Together Mean Good Luck"

Comment:
Interesting shot. The DOF is a tad too shallow and the back two butterflies get lost in the bokeh effect.

Funny image, but the background is far too dark. It's difficult to tell you're in a bathroom.

Fortune Cookies

Nice job. It seems a little on the busy side and may look a little better with simply one fortune cookie on a solid white background.

Funny, but technically not a great photo. The focus is a little soft and the background is far too busy.

Bloody Mary! Bloody Mary! Bloody Mary!

Doc is that you? I think you've done a good job on this one. Something about the composition seems off though. I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe it's the top of the mirror being chopped off that is throwing me. I really like the idea and execution. The monochrome was a good idea, but I think it might have been better to go with strictly black and white. The sepia tones give the image a "warmth" that doesn't fit with what you're trying to depict. A very contrasty black and white might give the image an eerier (is that a word?) feeling.

Taste Like Chicken.

Hmm... not sure how this one fits the challenge. It may be a superstition or Urban Legend I'm not familiar with. Perhaps you mean the squirrel tastes like chicken. I'll assume that's what you're going for and will not vote down based on DNMC. Compositionally the squirrel is too centered. I like the detail and DOF.

Math Final Exam...

I'm not a huge fan of the composition on this one. It might have helped to show the entire hand. The image is also very "bright" and the paper seems almost blown out.

Lucky Ladybug

The focus seems a tad soft. The composition and DOF draw your attention more to the flower buds than the ladybug. The ladybug seems to compete for the attention of the viewer.

Excellent use of DOF and great way to portray a very common superstition.
