lovely portrait shot. like the dof and soft b&w. not sure what the white dots are...beading or something? they are a bit distracting to my eye from those eyes and that great smile! otherwise, a beautiful photo nicely done!

sorry...you've got a knockout sky in this image. that sky takes all the attention away from that magnifying glass...imo!

Xylem

great detail shot of that xylem (??)! like the composition and the blue background. the rust colorsare a bit distracting for me, but i also don't really know if that's just part of the xylem or if it could be edited out.

The Candy Jar

like the circular cutouts in the bowl providing peekaboo glimpses of the candy. interesting lighting approach as well.

Windows in France

this feels more like an entry for "reflections without mirrors" than the current challenge to me. lovely colors in the photo, and i would have liked to see the shot taken just a wee bit wider to allow more of the diagonal lines to flow through the photo.

Plethora of Flora

Comment:
i feel afraid that this technique really starts to lose its impact when it shows up in lots of challenge themes (regardless of whether or not the photographer executed it well...)

i like the distorted effect to the flowers in the drops. many people shoot them as clear, and i appreciate the abstract effect that occurs within this shot.

great composition for this shot. i'm not sure what the transparent medium adds to this photo, except for a basic structure to the photo...
the subject is great, the pyramid of colors is very effective visually, and i like it!

Blue Glass( Bowl)
by KOKOCAT

Comment:
the black thing in the upper left corner is distracting to me. nice lighting for this bowl shot, and lovely blue effect against the black background.

i have to say that this photo looks familiar to me for some reason...perhaps a similar one was entered in the first transparency challenge?
