Stroll in the park
by bluenova

Comment:
The other commenters have hit on some of the key aspects of why this shot scored so low. The water in the background is overexposed which is distracting, and the whole shot seems to be slightly out of focus. This comes across as a photo that you took quickly as the geese were wandering away, which you then cropped the best you could. I know it's hard when you're trying to get shots of animals, but I think this would have turned out better if you had gotten at a slightly lower angle (to avoid the overexposed water) and used a shallower dof to make the geese stand out against a fuzzy background. Hope this is helpful.

No More Washing

Comment:
I have to agree with the other commenter here. This shot is nothing more than a picture of a broken washing machine. Taken from a normal angle and perspective with plain lighting. Perhaps taking it from a different angle, or a close up of a particularly interesting part of the machine. Or if there had been something nearby that helped to tell a story about where it came from or why it was there? Some of the shots from this challenge were converted to a b/w, perhaps that could have worked here?

I think some of the other commenters here have hit on some key points. One of the first things I noticed was that the button was out of focus, I only noticed the focused label afterwards. The pinkish tint seems out of place and the lighting is nothing really spectacular. Perhaps a more dramatic lighting would help? The shot is also very straight, with the label and the button lined up neatly down the center. I might have tried turning this one about 45 degrees, putting the label and the button in positions that lined up more with the rule of thirds. Hope this is helpful!

Very creative idea and setup! And are those double-stuff oreos? If so.. even better! :)

When life gets tough...

This could have very easily been a boring shot of a wrapped candy bar... but the torn off wrapping, bite mark and little chocolate crumbs bring this shot to life and make it say 'comfort' in a whole new way. Nicely done!

A well captured 'odd couple' for the challenge. I never really thought of pigs as cute, but these two have a kind of cuteness about them. Nicely done.

Us? Odd? NAH!!

I have no idea how you got these two to tilt their heads in the same way, but works by making them even odder!

Definately odd and the composition is nice, but its just a bit too soft for me.

This almost looks like an egg, or at least the yolk of one. Seems a bit fuzzy to me.
