Aquaris - The Waterbearer

Good concept. I think the pose might have worked better if you'd been able to get more of a curve into her right arm and leg to mirror the shape of the pitcher - the angularity seems to detract from the whole.

(The Water Bearer) Aquarius: Let The Sunshine In (But PLEASE, not the moon)

I actually thought this worked better without the title. Not that I'm knocking any marks off it or anything, but it's such a good "Aquarius" photo that a complicated title seems to detract. I like this a lot.

Whee! It's a flying crab! Fun idea.

A good idea and effective composition, but I would have liked to see either slightly more or slightly less of her face.

I'm getting some moire (bane of the digital photographer's life) in the bottom right-hand corner. Overall a good idea, well presented, with the focus in the right place.

Good composition and use of colours and contrasting textures. I think this works very well.

Something about the composition on this bothers me ... possibly that it's not straight but isn't at enough of an angle to look "deliberately not straight"? Or possibly that the overall shape isn't interesting enough to justify the negative space framing against the black background, but is distracting enough to divert attention away from some of the interesting details in the shot? I think the shot might have been improved by moving in/cropping in closer on a detail section (depending on what your camera features and resolution are like, of course). Sorry this is a bit rambling - I've decided that this week I'm never going to manage to vote on all the entries, so I'm trying to leave detailed comments on the ones that I *do* get to.

Eye See You

Comment:
I think that the lighting conditions under which you were shooting haven't done you any favours here... the area around the eye, which is in focus and so should be the centre of attention, is very dark compared with the rest of the image, which is out of focus. Maybe cropping in tighter and then tweaking brightness/contrast would have helped (depending on how many pixels you had to play with, of course)?

Ant Hill

Comment:
This was a good idea, but I don't think your camera had the macro/close-up "oomph" to pull off this shot, particularly to display at this resolution. It's difficult to even see the ants against the busy background. You've clearly got an eye for a photo opportunity, though.

Legend or Not?

Hollywood can, indeed, make some things pretty darn global in reach. An original approach and technically spot on and well composed too. Very effective image - great job!
