Freak'n String!! Oops!
by Givemeashot

Comment:
5 - Good idea/potential. Criticism; sharper focus on the string (overall the shot seems blurred or out of focus), nudge rotation up on the left, or else perhaps more 'diagonal' composition and perhaps a variation in lighting to diminish the 'blown' part, may have made this better in my opinion.

On thin Ice ... ooops
by ShutterPug

Comment:
3 - Looks like good potential. Criticism; looks like this is a little blurry, or could be focus issues, hard to discern. I also can't tell if this is a little truck or train, so better focus and perhaps 'showing more' of your subject, may have made this better in my opinion. Also more 'context' of the 'oops' - ie; if it has 'gone off a cliff'/etc, then showing an edge there somewhere may have boosted this.

Not Milk?!
by Chilibean

Comment:
6 - Like it. Criticism; think this has more potential, a few suggestions would be clothing 'choice', especially on the girl on the right - a plain shirt or a particular color that would 'enhance' the 'milk', difficult, but either a different angle, or lighting adjustment, to get the detail on the tip of the paint brush more and a variation in cropping/framing, would have all likely made this better in my opinion. The facial expressions are near perfect. Good idea.

Comment:
'5', maybe '6', it took a while to see the shadow play/pattern, the feet are the dominant feature in this in my opinion, so if 'somehow' enhancing the pattern and minimizing the 'feet'/toes, may have made this better for this Challenge - but only 'hypothetical'/pretend anyway. Fairly nice 'clean feel' to this shot, save for the 'something' under the right heel.

You Can't Resist

Comment:
'7', likely, it's unusual and looks like 'bubblewrap'/packing bubble wrap, with a 'golden glow' or 'tint', given your title, I at first thought 'candy', but realize it may be the '...to pop it' - nice abstract'ish' kind of pattern and nice colors and the shallow DOF enhances it, perhaps a little sharper on one of the bubbles that are in focus may have made this even better, not sure, especially given that that may have diminished the pattern effect.

'5', maybe '6' - the lighting or what seems to be 'glare' is too dominant on the rope in my opinion and overall not enough texture detail - although I realize to enhance the pattern you may have been going for this 'softness'.

A Web of Polygons

Comment:
6 - Like the abstract'ness' of this, coupled with the shallow DOF. Criticism; difficult, but wish it were sharper, although I realize perhaps you've gone for a 'soft' look, especially to enhance the pattern(s). The frame 'works', but be better without it, in my opinion.

Comment:
6 - Nice. Criticism; especially for this Challenge, if the web were more dominant (zoomed/tighter crop quality dependent), would give this more impact in my opinion. Like the 'deadheads'' effect.

7 - Nice. Criticism; good like this, but wonder whether not cropping on the left would have worked better, depending what you had to work with of course. Toning works well here.

Do you think my pattern look good enough to join the prey show ?
by lolor275

Comment:
5 - Good potential. Criticism; depending on quality and what you had to work with, a really tight crop on this, eliminating the keeper's hand (even if that means 'cutting' the tail/feet/talons/etc), especially for this Challenge, would have likely made this much better in my opinion. Likely still be 'blurred', but still would enhance the pattern more. edit:typo
