A little underexposed for my tastes. I like the framing and the idea of the lighting, it just needs a little more. The colors came out really well. Good luck

I like this. Simple is good. THe only thing I'd suggest is to take the picture from slightly further up. I believe the angle would still maintain your reflections and it will put a little more of the dish and sticks in the frame. It would also add just a hint more color to this and I think it needs a little more color. Pretty good shot.

Great colors. I like the idea a lot. I think it might be just a teeny bit underexposed on the utensils though. On the whole it is very well executed.

Great composition. Nice framing. A little clearer and this would really be an outstanding pic.

Night Traffic on the John A. Roebling Bridge

Postcard shot, all the way. This is definitely one of the most well composed photos of this challenge. Just a pinch soft on the focus probably due to the longer exposure time. Great shot

The sky is too bright. Everything else is really picturesque. Great shot

Boston Bridge

This bridge is too camoflauged into the cityscape. Its very difficult to see with this lighting.

The tree in the upper right is a serious distraction for me when I look at this pic. Nice bridge, well framed and shot. I would've considered doing this in color, since there seems to be quite a few trees with leaves and open water.

The Royal Gorge

This is a gorgeous scene and a cool bridge. The color of the snow though is neon blue and that is not helping. The shot looks sort of grainy as well. Not grainy like a high ISO grainy, but like a very large picture was made very small. or maybe one too many sharpens. I'm not sure, but it doesn't look "right" Awesome scene though that is definitely worth photographing

Fried Egg on a PLate.....without the plate

Composition - Good background for this subject. The color is good, but might've been a little better a bit darker. It serves as a contrast to the subject which appears to be a fried egg that is very, very well done (in cooking terms). In terms of composition, I think the part about being very well done is not helping your cause. It makes it a bit more intriguing, but its no help. I think the string is definitely a creative touch. I'm not sure if its helping the picture though. I really think thats sort of a matter of opinion to each viewer. I think the egg is framed a little too much to the right. The biggest problem with this composition is that it really isn't grabbing the viewer. I think you did a good job picking the background, but it needs something else to sort of accessorize the egg part. Maybe a fork or something might've worked. I gotta move on though

Technical - Pretty well taken in the grand scheme of things. There are 2 technical things that are bothering me. First - The subject seems to have an awful lot of light bouncing off it. It makes it really seem a lot like plastic more than egg. Second - The background looks like its pixelating a little. Every other time I look at it it seems ok. But in between I think it looks like its pixelating. Maybe its just me. If you would've exposed this a little less, I think you'd have eliminated some of the reflections on the egg and also made the background a bit darker.

Overall - I think this shot was worthy of a little better score than it got. I think it definitely meets the challenge. There are a few things you could've done though to make this particular composition a little better in terms of lighting, exposure, and framing. The composition itself though has a limit to how much these aspects can affect the score positively. Hope this could be of at least some help to you. Good luck in future challenges. - Inspzil
