So literal, so ... well to be brutal... boring
Needs to have a smattering of artistry, something more than a plain old board in bad lighting. Colours, a little smoke, side lighting, there are thousands of ways of livening something up.

I would guess that most voters have gone sailing straight over this one and thought - oh yeah a board - 4, and to be truthful, thats what it deserves.

I know this is a brutal slating of your submission, but at least I stopped to say why I gave it a 4, and maybe you might put a little 'zing' into your next submission.

OK, meets the challenge, but there's not 'artistry' to the image, nothing 'extra', just a plain old chip. Needs to be enhanced with your interpretation. all you have done is show your mastery of the camera in order to capture a representation of an object. Its sharp, its reasonably presented, but its also boring.

Sorry to be so critical.

A tighter crop might have been better on this. I feel there is a lot of wasted dark space.

Not very appealing shadow behind the stalk. With a little thought this could have been avoided. Nice concept though, needs more 'artistry'.

Leaves and Seeds

I think theres a much better photo lurking inside this. The lighting is quite flat which doesn't bring out the textures in the seeds. With some directional lighting this could really sing.

submission image is way too small - use the full 640 pixels so we can see something more than a thumbnail

needs a greater dof to really work. this sort of image really suffers if only part of the animal is in focus. you need real hot lights or lots of bright sun, not something the snail would enjoy i guess
