Looks like an advertisement shot. Maybe for milk, maybe for Gateway.... - Inspzil

Just black

I like the perspective of this shot. Is it a little grainy on purpose? I'm not totally against that. Just curious. Nice shot, only wish you would've shown more of the coffeemaker - Inspzil

Very nice pic. You will get a good score, but the thing that bothers me most about this pic is the backdrop cloth is wrinkled. I may have tried to backlight the cup a little, just enough so it doesn't seem shadowed. But this is a great idea and by no means poorly taken. - Inspzil

A drop in a cup of Milk.

Good stop action shot. I'm not so sure greyscale is the way to go with this image, even if milk is white. I like the white reflection. - Inspzil

The lack of lighting on the side of the glass makes the milk look too yellow, like something is wrong with it. It could use a little indirect lighting IMO.

Where Frozen Milk Comes From

This would've been a great landscape shot. The patterns in the snow from plowing are great. I like how the farm is tucked into the middle of this pic neatly. Nice job - Inspzil

Composition - Well no job is finished until the paperwork is done. Nothing is more true than those precious few moments of "dropping the kids off at the pool." Being a veteran of 11th hour shots, I know how these things work. The shower curtain as bright and colorful as it is, is really taking away from the subject of this pic. The bright glare on the curtain is equally distracting. It looks like the paper is tied on the subject. I think it would've been more effective to just stuff it down there, plus stuffed a bunch more down there to make his backside all puffy with paper. A little different perspective might've added to the mood of this too. Maybe if you could've put the camera lower, like toilet level against the wall next to the toilet, taking the camera from the toilet's perspective, you could've emphasized the paper a little more and taken some of the focus off the inside of the toilet and the shower curtain. This is a good concept, but these 11th hour shots don't afford us the time to hone this down and explore all of the options to make this shot as effective as it could be.

Photography - This is a pretty well taken photo. The only thing I don't like is the flash on the shower curtain. Exposure looks good as does DOF and focus.

Processing - I don't see anything standing out at me, so it must be good

Overall - This shot has a lot of potential to be pretty good. Some of the distracting things need to be removed or replaced. A better angle on the shot would also minimize this stuff and concentrate our attentions to the humorous part of the photo. Hope this can be of some help to you. My best advice is take your photos prior to the 10th hour so you have a little time to rethink and reshoot them. I should prolly listen to that advice myself!! - Bob

A lot going on here. Unfortunately none of it is very clear. Conceptually its pretty good. The execution leaves much to be desired, like focus. Lighting is pretty good too. Good Luck - Inspzil

The top piece looks like a piece of fake play food like my kids have that is actually frosting for a cupcake. I don't know if it is, but it's a dead ringer for it. I like the backdrop and lighting. I would've ditched the plate though. Nice job - Inpszil

Got Milk?

This looks like the flying toaster picture revisited. Great colors, like the other. I see its winter there too. Unfortunately I don't see this one being as successful - Inspzil
