great timing. moving the camera slightly to the right might have positioned the player and his footbag in a more pleasing manner. But...its a candid after all :)

Who's Invisible Now?

Wow, assume this was a long exposure and one guy stayed still long enough to be pretty sharp. I like the creativity. My only suggestion for improvement would have been to move so that the subject was between the red tag and the blue/green support.

I like this one. Since the focal point is running out of the frame(literally) it gives a good feeling of motion to the picture. 8 for now.

I'll start. Only 11 pm here. This shot says "angles" to me. This theme is contrasted by the very textured rock/pebbles in the fore left and right. As with all of your shots, lighting is great. I'm guessing it wouldnt have the wide appeal to garner a high vote(6.5 +) here on DPC but thats just my opinion. Maybe clone the wire in the BG left???

Filament

Congrats! You are my first critique club effort. Hope I can give you something worthwhile.

First impression: I'm first grabbed by the white part of the bulb and then spurred by the title to turn my attention to the filament.

Composition: You have done a good job of composing the shot, especially the way that the circle shape is repeated(your fingers, the bulb, the filter). I like your cropping choice.

Lighting: The lighting was likely tough to control but you have done a good job with it. My only critical comment is that I wish the filament could have popped a little more. I'm not sure what would have accomplished this but I feel it would have strengthened the image. I do love the way the light highlites the inside of the filter and the edges of your hand. This too me is the strongest part of the image.

Post Processing: This may be inaccurate, but it appears that you thought out your shot very well prior to shutter release which means that PP was minimal. (I haven't seen your picture details). Colors look good, sharpness is good.

Challenge interp: Very subjective, subjects were all over the board and this is where you may have fallen some in the view of the voters. Some of the pics, especially the top 10 were very vivid with their colors. Its hard to figure the voters out :). But I do agree with the other commenters, this is original and different. For that I say kudos.

P.S. I'd love to get some feedback on this critique. HOpe it gave you something to toss around in your mind.

This is very good. I love the lighting/BG set up. The focus and the subject placement is perfect. Good luck

edit: I didn't get through them all, but I picture this on the front page.
