Tear Drop Blues

An ecellent concept this. The exposure and/or harshness of light seems just a little too high for a 9 to me. You have a great imagination. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Mightier than the Sword

This was alovely concept. Good composition. It's just lacking something in the lighting somehow. Perhaps a softer/warmer source? (It must have taken time to clean the nib before resting the pen back on the paper!?)

I think would have been worth another point had the focus zone been more on the "object identifying" pull-tag. A more blue light source might have bumped it even one more. Good concept. Keep it up!

This may have turned out a lot better using a slightly shorter shutter and a mini tripod plus timer to get the camera dead still. Like the colours and cropping. Good composition.

Mental poverty

For what it's worth, I personally believe the wide black frame is very much required for this image to maintain intensity.

It seems quite a few people don't like frames for some reason. Yet every picture has a frame, like it or not. "Why not make the frame work for the photo instead of against it?" I say.

This is my favourite shot of the challenge. Pity I missed the voting.

Perfect for June, well lit and nocely executed. I just plain like this. Enjoy your 8.

Yummie! (or not :) I think the focal point should have been lower down (not that I really want to see what's lower down more in focus... but none the less...) The dark eyes have this one begging for a fairly heavy black frame for a white callendar page I think. 6.

The long exposure evident in the waterfall bares testiment to the dead still air here. Nicely cropped. The birds in flight become a distraction as a result unfortunately. But what a silly detail - this is nicely executed and deserves an 8.

Sometimes one just has to say "10!" even before they've given it much thought. In this case, the thought didn't change my mind. The black frame suits this image well.

Nicely executed. Perhaps my ignorance of such fine things prevents me from seeing the link with December?
