Wow, I really like the atmosphere of the photo. I think this is an excellent photo. You managed to capture the scene as you say it was in real life. The only minor complaint that I have is that black blob that looks like a garbage container seems to add another "person" into the photo. I love the repeating lights and the lines. The placement of the person is almost perfect too but maybe move him a tiny bit more to the left.

Bug casings? I thought they were noodles!

Ok, first two things I thought of were "I don't get it" and "It's too dark"

After looking for it a while I retracted my "too dark" remark because you have all of the elements well lit. Infact I would say the noodles are perfectly lit since they do show depth and very intricate bends and curves. They also have a good texture.

I read some other comments and the suggestion was that the cork was the stranger in the strange land but I fail to make this association as the cork seems to fit perfectly with the container so the "I don't get it" remark is still appropriate.

I think if I was doing this photo I would try it with a frame full of those noodles and another different type of a noodle. Something very similiar to the grapes photo I have done for the Fruits & Veggies challenge.

Another thing that I did notice was that the jar was a centered and I feel shifting it a little to the left would have made for a stronger composition.

I definitely recognize the song. Which means you have successfuly met the challenge (at least in my eyes). It's a good concept but the technical execution leaves me wanting more. The biggest problem I see is the distracting background. The vertical lines in the background do not help and the white walls show some noise. I would try using a dark or light background and more light. Also, I would try to be a little closer to the screen. Otherwise it's a very good song title that would make for a good photo.

Composition is ok but the buildings overpower the main subject in this photo. I'm more focused on the detail of the buildings. Exposure is not bad you didn't blow out the sky and there's some detail in the helicopter and the load it's carrying. Also, when you resized this photo you must have overcompressed or oversharpened this photo because there are jaggies in the chopper blades.

When I look at this photo, the first thing that hits me is a similar photo of a guy crouched on the soil like the one in the photo with something in their hands and a nice caption similar to your title. The photo is well executed and meets the challenge but that first thing I wrote would be my suggestion for improvement.

Interesting photo. I think this definitely fits the challenge very well. I see a few problems like the exposure of the top left corner is much darker than lower right corner. There's also a strong diagonal line cutting the photo in half which takes a bit away from the photo. I think a flash was used which is why the photo came out like that. I longer exposure and a tripod would have been a good thing to use.

VERY overexposed. The reflection in the eye barely saves this photo.

Reflection Of Time

A few points about this photo....
1. The photo is a tad soft not a lot but enough to be noticable
2. I'm guessing you tried to use the reflections on the clock but it's a very minor part of the photo. I really wish you tried to capitalize on something that was a larger reflection.

The Wild African Spotted Pear..Where the hell did you find one of those! (j/k) I love how you made a natural vase for the pears.

Don't use the flash next time and diffuse the light that is causing those spots on the apple.
