Contrasting Hands
by KevinRiggs

Comment:
Good idea for contrast however this isn't a very appealing photo. The lighting is very flat, and the shadow especially from the man's hand is rathher annoying. A solid background might have been nice... as well as having the man's thumb in the photo. Black and white might have been nice for this.

On Target

in focus/ out of focus and veryn nicely done... I'm guessing somone was holding the very edge of the dart? hence the reason you had to crop there... I like this photo a lot. I would have liked all of the dart in focus but that probably wasn't possible.

Not sure where your contrast comes into play here. I like the softness of the photo though... and the background is awesome!

Follow that chariot

Hehehe... this is cute... I like how the car is slightly blurred so that you know it is in motion. That painitng is awesome! The bricks on the wall, and the fact that the road is brick also is really nice. I like how the car is going out of the frame, and really seems as though the horse is chasing it. I see what you were going for in contrast here.

Light As A Feather

Hehehe... interesting... I'm wondering how you got the scale to stick at 100. Nice job though! The lighting isn't very interesting here, but I think it gets the point across. Bothered a little by the lighting around the metal ring, but not too badly. Definitely fits the challenge, although I don't find it to be very appealing photo wise.

Reflecting on Anna

Beautiful job... congrats on your placing! I'm curious, upon looking at this, whether it is actually a reflection, or you did it in post processing (as allowed by the rules) if it is a reflection wow! Its perfect, if not, I'm guessing you turned it upside down and then flipped it... either way, very very well done. Congrats!

Devil's Marbles

I loved the Devil's Marbles... what a beautiful sight they were just as the sun was going down :-) I think this would have filled the frame more, and been better maybe as a horizontal picture with less in the foreground and less in the background... filling the frame would have been nice. Also the main focus here is very centered which is kind of boring. Love that place though :-) OZ... I mmiss OZ!

EXCELLENT perspective here... really beautiful seeing this from the upside... love the contrast here... and the symmetry... the lighting is also very nice... not sure why you chose to put more space of grey at the bottom? -7-

Bowl of cookies
by Crafty Sue

Comment:
yummmm... cookies! hehehe... I would have liked to have seen a closer shot of this... as it is, it's basically just a bowl sitting in the middle of the table... nothing interesting really about this shot... a different perspective might have been nice, and careful of the flash which seems to have lit the bowl more then the rest of the photo.
