Crane

The oragami is cute and the exposure and depth of field are very nice, but the background of newspapers doesn't make sense to me. Also, compositionally, the three pieces of folded paper create a horizontal line right across the center of the image, leaving a lot of the actual image space unused.

Death by Produce

The creativity of this shot really makes it stand out. I'd like to see a little less grain and a little less yellow in the skin tone, but when you're this creative, you're allowed a little leeway as "artistic expression". 8

A Bird In The Hand

This would be improved if the bird's head were in focus, rather than the glove. Since the glove is orange, you may have wanted it to be the focal point of your picture, specifically, but as a general photographic rule, anything with eyes should normally have the eyes in focus. The viewer's eye is naturally drawn there.

I didn't get to vote on all of the images due to time constraints, but this would have probably scored about an 8 from me. Lovely lines and beautiful tones.

The definition of "ORANGE"

Clever composition, very nice long depth of field. Love the whites that really make the warm colors jump out at you.

Impact of Orange

Wish I'd thought of this... :) Very nice composition with the negative space at the top of the image leaving "room" for that drop to fly up as high as it would like to. Nice whites and silver cup, making the whole thing feel very monochromatic and drawing our attention to the orange color. Only distraction is the somewhat uneven reflections in the orange liquid - window panes or some such? But overall good capture!
