"Joseph Guarnerius, 1751"

I would have moved this image up another point if it hadn't been for the lighting. The shadow on the neck of the violin causes the body and end to lose connectivity and it fades to much into the background. I feel that had you opened up those shadows even a little more, it would have improved the image. I think it really needs the bow in the picture as well, but that's just my opinion. I also suspect that the full size image might show the detail that is lost when sizing for the screen. Nice shot other wise and worth the 8 I gave it.

I think your picture is one of the 3 best ones of the whole group. The only nit I have about it is that your camera is too low and I get the impression that the right side is higher than the right, giving it a bit of a lopsided appearance. But your placement, color, exposure and focus is very good and because of that, I still gave it a 10.

Your picture was very well done. I feel that you cropped it too much on the bottom and top though which causes it to have a squeezed in feeling. In size of that, I still gave it a 10 because you have good placement of the objects, good color, lighting and focus.

Good idea and nice use of lines and shapes. But to me it's cropped way too tight and the orange and green colors are out of place in the image. Still, not bad, but it could have been better.

This really needs some light on the flowers. You have good light on the vase, but the flowers are too much in the dark. A little selective lighting on the flowers and I think it would have really improved this image.

Fruit Cocktail

This was almost a very good image. I think it needs a bit more light on the forground objects and the background bottle. If you could have placed a slit light on the bottole and a tad more light on the fruit, I could have gone a 9 or even a 10 on it.

You could have had a very good picture here, but you have too much seperation between the drink and the peanuts. It's like there is two seperate pictures going on here. I think it would have had a lot more impact had you put the bowl right next to the glass and maybe had the lose peanuts around the base of the glass. This would have given a connection between the two objects. I think it's croped a bit tight on the left side as well.

Lighting is good as is color and focus. I could have gone a 9 or even a 10 had it been placed just a little bit better.

This picture was almost pretty good. The problem to me is that it appears you are shooting from the side rather than square on. That might appear that way because of the fold of the background on the left side. But it throws the balance off in the picture.

Shadow and Light

This really needed a bit more light on the shell itself. To me it's just too much in shadow.

Three Flowers

I liked the color of your flowers, but I couldn't go higher on the score. It's the perspective that throws it off for me as well as the out of focus but still visible base of the vase.
