One Golden Chrysanthemum - For Luck!by patchesComment: It is a thin tie, and I mean THIN tie to the theme...mums and their Asian lore and roots. It's a decent shot, to my eye maybe a little too smooth and oddly flat. 3 |

Chinese lanterns and shadows in the year of the monkeyby SistoComment: I really like the lantern's glow and the ink monkey. IMO this would have been more interesting without the little plastic toy and a more artful composition/arrangement maybe? I'm still on the line about a different DOF. This still life is due some more experimentation. I'm going to bump to a 6 from a 4. |

Gung Hay Fat Choyby sfaliceComment: It's Chinese, I'll give you that but it seem overprocessed to me...colorful but flat in a bad way. 4 |

Monkey foodby hajekaComment: You're pushing it. I would have at least cloned/healing out the peanut shrapnel on the glass surface. The light is nice, I'll give you that, but the comp is lazy too. 3 because you know this is pushing the challenge theme and good light will only get you so far. |

Good Fortune for the New Yearby tvsometimeComment: The DOF is effective as is the comp..but the RED, the RED. I don't like it at all. Maybe a slightly softer, toned down monotone red? It's all personal preference. RED!!!! 4 |

Let's wokby herfotomanComment: Cute, I like the motion and the pop of the red shoe and your cheeky title. But you know this is a shoehorn, which is not horrible in it self, still a 4. |

Good luck for this Monkey yearby PennyStreetComment: Rather nice light...I only wish for a more pulled back, larger, more breathing room view and maybe more creative composition, but I realize that may not have been possible so it doesn't matter what I wish for. Oh, and the DOF choice is nice. 7 |

may 2016 hold an escapade or two for you!by flahermaComment: Light is gorgeous, the comp is not horrible and the DOF is appealing. I'm one of the weirdos that dings for artless titles though. Still a 7...you've made me want to crunch into a fortune cookie! |

Good luckby primabarbaraComment: I've dinged other images with similar elements, but the shallow DOF makes this so much more interesting. Oddly, or maybe not, that curled purple ribbon adds the right amount of "celebration". Without it I would have given this a 4. With purple ribbon, 6 |
