Yellow Paradise

I love the bird of paradise flower. This is such a beautiful photo of it. I really wish you would havae it on a white background so the color of it stood out on it's own. Also wish you could have gotten rid of the shadows. This is such a georgeous sample of this specimen. Still a great photo with really nice focus and cropping. Rates an 8 as it is.

Love the shot but wish it didn't have so many shadows. I can't tell if that is long hair from the person in front or a shadow on the lady in back. At first look I thought it was two women of different cultures. Then as I looked at the face qualities I wasn't sure if the person in the front was a man or a woman. I like the idea of the shadows just not so pronounced that I can't tell where the hair ends and the shadow starts. I hope you can understand. I love the sepia tone. Really nice one. Just, for me, needs a little different execution. Otherwise it would be a 10 in my book.

Nicely done macro. Not an easy one to get as sharp and clean as you did. Congratulations on that. Almost looks like an owls eye as open as it is.

Cute. I like everything except the shadows. They spoil an otherwise really nice photo that meets the challenge. Not too sure about the border because it's not the exact same shade of yellow as the bowl. Really the bowl doesn't appear to be the same color all over because of the shadows. Nice composition just needs better execution.

Different, simple, to the point, meets challenge, nice focused. Personally I would have cropped out the sides and just gone with the louvers. But that's me. Nice one.

Not really sure I get the gist of this one. Personally not enough of anything for me. Maybe a little more lemon, and less background. Just not sure about it.

Alone in the Light

It it hadn't been for the extra light on the top of the tulip it would be considered an orange tulip. Personally don't like how the plant disappears in the center of the photo then re-appears at the bottom left corner. No continunity to the photo, no flow. And a big was of a lot of space. Think I know the effect you were looking for but didn't quite get it, but then maybe you got exactly what you wanted and it just doesn't appeal to me personally.

With this DOF you should not have had a shadow and dark spot on the yellow M&M. There's so little of it as there is. Like the composition. Very different. To me with the effect of putting one in the mouth the entire photo should have been in focus and make that the one that is yellow. To me personally that makes the most sense. But then, that's just my thought. Still nice idea. Just needs better execution.

Nice idea, the sponge. But it's fighting the background for the yellow spot. Need to change the color of the background. The sponge is in good focus, nicely cropped, well done. Next time don't make it fight for the attention.

First of all - cut the red head clear out of this shot. He takes all the attention from the yellow ballon. But really I would have preferred to see it in another challenge and him the subject. Would have laughed myself sick at that one. Back to this challenge. There need to be focus somewhere in the photo. It has too much going on in it. I would have cropped out everything but the ballon. Really would have taken it somewhere else with less background. Can't get over the dude in the red-hair. Really think you meant this to be a funny photo and it is. Thanks for the laughs.
