Milk Chocolate in Bloom

Good macro. I do not like the removal of color in flower pictures, fundamentally. The framing of this shot could be improved some, but isn't really bad or anything. The detail on the petals is good. - Inspzil

No submission because cameras steal souls
by ClubJuggle

Comment:
Well thought out. Creative. I had this same idea but since I have no camera to keep the lens cap on when I shot it, I couldn't produce this photo. Hopefully I'll get it back though. The focus is perfect. Can't argue with the DOF. I think you're better off shooting this at a higher aperture though with a lower ISO, for mood purposes. The dark filter is probably not necessary in this one but adds a nice touch. Great use of negative space without an actual subject to focus on. Definitely the best black picture this week. I bet you could use this as a Macro of your lenscap. This pic will probably have a cult following. I'll join the "Club" :) - Inspzil

Bloodcup: Drink of Strength and Spirt

I'm sure you might be setting a record for comments with this one. I do not have a problem with it. I've heard of the "drink the blood of your first kill tradition" but I don't know if this is what you were going for. The picture is too dark. Not a terribly big deer either. How'd you get her to sit so still? - Inspzil

Rub His Belly for Luck

How about I'll just get him a bra and maybe we'll shake hands and have a nice cold beer. Depending on what color he started, I would've left him in color. I think the lighting could've been little more dramatic too. - Good luck - Inspzil

Not What She Was Expecting

Could this have been more effective with the hands of a woman, being a little more consistent with the title? Good image though - Inspzil

Don't cross my path

This is a well taken photo. I'm not sure I like the composition. If the focus was just on the eye why use the foreground "cover" to hide the rest of the cat. It looks dark enough where if the background were dark, we wouldn't be able to see him anyway. The negative space in the shot would be accenting the eye much more than the distracting table or whatever it is. IMO - Inspzil

Crossed

I like the mood set with the red tones of this picture. The overall composition though I don't feel is that strong. If it were me, I would've included the whole hand and 3/4 of the face vs 1/2. Maybe given it a little more exposure time too. - Good Luck! - Inspzil

The loss of focus in the foreground is really detrimental to this shot. The idea is pretty good and the way the lighting is, it gives this piece a little believablity. The picture should've had the blurry areas cropped out . This would've brought a little more attention to the subject and been far less distracting - Inspzil
