Momentum: Grace of Dance
by SharQ

Comment:
An interesting photograph. I can certainly see the link to grace. I like the strong blue background, and the warm tone on their skin on the left is also good, but I feel that for such a graceful motion that the shadows in the middle are a little too harsh. I would have perhaps liked to have seen more detail on the hands on the right, as well as the face on the foreground girl.

I'm really starting to like these simplistic images. It's a classic with nice toning and sharp detail. The dof on the stem and far leaf is effective. Compositionally it's also great. A very nice clean image.

It's very pink and vibrant, and the matching pink border is cute. The coloring is good, and the lighting/exposure is good, although there are a few shadows cast. A very pretty photograph.

Three Little Jugs

I really like this! The jugs are very sharp, the texture shows up nice. I like the gradient of the background and the way it fades to dark on the left. The lighting is very well done, and of course the shadows are present. This is a very classic still life shot, excellent quality, and very clean. One of my favorites of the challenge so far.

Quite a classic image but an effective one. I like the simiplicity of this, as well as the duality of black and white. The details are very nicely sharp, and the highlights do not seem overblown at all.

Dew Shadows

The color and details are very sharp, as are the leaf and shadows. The grass seems a little dark in the foreground but I think that helps with the contrast of the nicely rich green. It's a nice capture and likely one we walk past every day (at least during fall), and it's nice to be able to see a close-up, low-down shot to see just how pretty it can be.

The tone is a nice warm color and I think it works well with the texture of the tiles. I also like the softness of the shadows. The lines seem straight and do not show any distortion, which is good. I like the gradient color and the exposure looks good. Nicely captured.

Innocence

This is a good low-key portrait. The light isnt too bright on the face and her expression is still captured, cheeky as it is. Part of me would like to see her be more fuller frame and lose the darkness/shadow on the left, or else have more negative space on the right to follow the path of her eyes.

Spider's Final Shadows

Comment:
The coloring of the leaves is simply wonderful, and the fine details are nicely sharp. The choice of dof does well to isolate the leaves, and I love the sun-lit spider thread leading out of the frame. It's almost a shame the spider shadow is there! It meets the challenge and has a wonderful autumn feel to it. Well captured.

And Now, The Star Of Our Show ...

The highlight on the block is good, I could see this as being something seen on a stage, however, I'm not a fan of the carpet/fabric beneath it. It has texture but I think that distracts a little, making it look a lot more softer than it probably is, also the red blends in. I think a slightly different angle and a white or black 'background' would helped the image immensely. The concept itself is great.
