PALATABLE COLOURS

Lovely colours but it is kind of spoilt by there being no paint on the brushes!

Be Yond ; Be Leaf
by Wraith Ravenscroft

Comment:
Interesting shot. Maybe a more interestingly shaped leaf would have been better. You can also see a reflection of the camera lens (perhaps the shot could have been taken at an angle to the glass).

You WERE warned it could happen

LOL! Nice idea, good to see something different.

A New Balance

I wonder how this was done!! ;-)

Nice effect and you've captured it well. The light seems to be a little too bright at the top of the photo though.

Chrome Illusion
by janfries

Comment:
The sky looks extremely over blown and harsh. The framing is off (the front of the car is nearer the edge of the picture than the left is).

I'm not sure what's an illusion about this either, except for possibly the pearlescent paintwork on the car?

Balancing Act

At first I thought it must have been upside down but now I'm not too sure (the toy on the chair is a good addition in this respect)! I'm going to go with upside down and the toy was fixed to the chair. The lighting being in the bottom left might give it away, why put your light on the floor?!

Nice photo though, i like the movement in the hand to signify a bit of 'wobble' 8/10

A bit dark but a good illusion, it certainly meets the challenge.

Edison's Gift

Simple idea. Nice title. Good defintion and clarity. It's a shame the hands were slightly off centre and the right thumb is higher than the left. (But I appreciate that this is a photography site and not one for geometry!!!) 9/10

At the Bottom of the Sea
by alanfreed

Comment:
The light shines a nice beam into the water. Unfortunately as well as highlighting the shell it also highlights the impurities in the water (don't know what you could have done about it though).

If only water was really clear, photography would be much easier!

Oct. Sun

I hope you didn't break your camera shooting into the sun like this (and I certainly advise against using a viewfinder if you've got one - stick to the LCD).

I like the way that the line from the aircraft goes through the middle of the shot but it might have been better if it could have gone exactly from one corner of the picture to the other. I never normally think about things like that until after the event though when it's normally too late (maybe you could have rotated it slightly using software and then cropped it).
