Great catch. I don't mind the black background at all. What I would have done it try to move the image down a bit so the the stick is lower. I'd like more black at the top and less at the bottom.

Good expression but the arms, cloths, some of the branches and background seem overexposed.

I like this one a lot better than the one that won the ribbon - very good job.

Bathroom Nightlight

I have to agree with ajmason66 - I think this came in under rated. Guess the masses don't agree with us. The simplicity of it appeals to me. The line of light/dark in the reflection is the only negative in my mind.

I would have prefered a better focus on the stamins - as it is now the foucs is on the two in the background.

Delicate Ecosystem

I end up puzzeld by the flat area to the left - a pool of water??? Think a crop at the left edge of the bush on the left would have be more appealing. You might have to crop just a bit off the right to keep the balance, but keep the ferns there - they add to the challenge topic.

Tiny Leaf

The leaf just does not stand out with the contrast you have - so for me it's effectiveness is diminished.

Intricate Ironworks

There is a balance here that is off and a bit disconerting to me. I feel like the doors/windows sould be centered - but they are not - rather you centered the image based on the ceiling it seems. Yet the reflections make me think you are standing directly in front of the doors - but if that is so then the doors and the ceiling should be balanced. Given this image I would have centered it base on the doors. As it is it just feels out of kilter to me.

Very good idea for this challenge. I would have tried more shots - I think it would work better is you could improve the symetry on the hands a bit more.

I like the way the plant leads me to the moth. Otherwise given his size this might not have worked. Good shot.
