I like the halo over the hill and the trees framing the left side is interesting. The red 'planet'? certainly stands out amidst all the stars. A very peaceful image.

Woolen Hills

Comment:
Interesting idea - the texture is good but the dof seems a little off with the focus on the middle 'hill'. Being oof has given the front 'hill' more texture, but I think it may have just had a stronger impact if they were all in focus and had a uniform look with the lines and curves as the strong point.

Good color in the left eye but they both seem a little dim. Black is hard to expose right, and the majority of the details of the fur/nose etc seems to be lost or not as strong as they probably should be.

The lighting is good, it's nicely sharp, but I really dislike the frame. Not sure if it's a mirror frame or a filter frame but it distracts from the image quite a bit.

Good diagonal, excellent lighting, the texture in both the foreground item and the background compliment each other well. The chrone is well lit and shiny without losing any details. Would make a great advertising shot.

The floor looks dirty and old but in some ways that seems to add to the mood. I like the highligts on the side of whatever that is. It almost reminds me of kitchen hockey. It also seems like you thought about the placement of the item and the direction of the lines too.

Black wax candle... light
by Drake

Comment:
Flames are hard to photograph and you've done fairly well. The triangular top of the candle also adds interest. The flame here seems to be the focus point with the black candle part almost non-existent due to the background, which unfortunately is what a lot of voters are going to be judging on.

The texture of the leather is good, but the light is a little too harsh on some spots.

Black Hat

Comment:
Not really a fan of the placement, other than the top it is surrounded by a lot of negative black space. I think a tighter crop would have helped and also brought more attention to the detail of the helmet. It also looks like it may have been too close to the backdrop as the black has some texture along the beam of light. The helmet itself is interesting - it has a distinct futuristic feel to it. The lighting is good with no bad reflections or bright spots.

Seeing Black

Black is really hard to exposure. You have the wisps on the 'outer' part of the cat, and certainly the eyes, but the details of the fur and his/her face is mostly lost. There is some, but not significantly enough to break up the mass of black.
