Keys

Greetings from the Critique Club.
This is a nice photo that should have done better in the challenge. Unfortunately, many people feel that there are far too many keyboard shots taken on a regular basis. Most people don't look at the photo closely, just see it's a keyboard, score it low and move on. I like this photo because you show the keyboard differently the others. It has a gritty feel to it. Almost unreal looking aswell. The white of the keys is a little too bright in my opinion. I like the fact that it is too bright to see any texture on the key though. So if there is a way to lower the intensity of the white without adding texture to those keys than it would be great. I really don't have much else to add to improve the photo. I think it is very good and should have done much better. I hope this hasn't turned you away from submitting again. All the photos you have taken so far are very good and you should definately keep it up. Good luck in future challenges.

This was a great photo and well deserved win. Was a tripod and/or self-timer used? If not, I think this photo would be much better if you had. It may have led to a sharper look within the windows. I'm not trying to be too nit-picky but it looks like there might have been some very slight movement when the shutter was released. It could also be that some of the windows are more blurry than others because of the narrower depth of field. Maybe a longer exposure with a larger f-stop could have helped with focus. Again, I think this is a great photo. Nice colors, composition, lighting and great subject too! It deserved the win, Congratulations!

This is a very fresh and creative approach to the challenge.
I like how you have the square stand out more by focusing just on it. I really don't mind the kiss in the foreground.
The compostion is nice and is very tight. You have very little negative spce, which I prefer. The only thing I would have tried to avoid is the Kisses label in the foreground. Maybe messing with your photo editor distorted it but I find it distracting. May removing that particular Kiss' label? I can't think of anything much to improve the photo. It is very nice but not I guess it just didn't stand out enough for some people to do better. Sorry I couldn't add more, please feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions.

Very whimsical. Looks like a jogsaw puzzle. I think that this photo would have stood alone well without all of the effects added. Good luck in the challenge.

Very abstract and almost too digital in my opinion. But it is very cool. I would like to see how this was done. Good luck in the challenge.

This is a very nice macro of the eye. The use of B&W was a good choice. I really like the detail of the pupil. Great work, top 10 in my opinion.

Wow, I really like this photo. I think this one will be in the top 10. I don't like the border but because it isn't obtrusive I won't mark it down. I just don't think it was nescessary to use. Good job and good luck!

Heaven's Gate?

This is a nice photo. The border compliments the colors in the photo well. I don't particulary like the shadows on the gate. I don't like the little bit of tree sticking out of the left side either. But since you can't just chainsaw a tree down maybe waiting until earlier or later in the day depending on the direction to get the sunlight lower and not cast the shadows. Just a thought, still a very nice photo. Good luck in the challenge.

The building looks like it is falling away from me. I don't know hoe to avoid this phenomenon. I didn't like the grain but when I saw the border I changed my mind because I think it fits with the "old" look. Other then the leaning look I like this photo a lot.
