Gotta light?

Possibly the most interesting shot in the challenge - love the work on the smoke, as much as the flame itself.

Now this is good work indeed - and I'm pretty certain will be going straight into my faves after the challenge. Huge and immediate impact. Fabulous detailing, light, contrast (both technically and of tone), blance of composition, and that edge of fascination about whatever the hell is in the background. edgy stuff, and perfectly mundane - exactly what the challenge was after. if there were justice, this will win (and I haven't even seen all the shots yet) ... but I wonder if the masses will find your colouration a touch too odd?

Forks

I think you've gone a bit too far with sheer numbers here - especially in a very busy composition - a pile of forks, rather than an organisation of them. Technically well done, obviously, but I think you've also taken the contrast a bit too far to give a really extraordinary effect.

Good stuff - tone, colour, detail. Not wholly convinced it really holds a great amount of interst for me - perhaps just lacking an edge of subtlety somewhere. But it's very strong work, nevertheless.

Soup? I steam the leaves very gently, and serve mashed and peppered swede on them ... great colour-impact on your food!

This was the one I was sure would win - and so narrowly second :-( You received thirteen more tens than did my shot, though ...

Good and ominous tones here. great light too - perhaps the most subtle use of natural light I've seen in this challenge. Great sense of threat here too - almost a 1970's Hammer movie feel. The more I look, the more I like ...

Wooden Lady

Comment:
Nice contrast of the blue world and the warm colour of the wooden figure - like imagination and reality in a drear world. great sense of the smooth polishedness of the figure too, and the highlighting of it works well. Do like this very much.

Great light, great dof, very solid composition. like the graphic quality to this - and a full-on meeting of the challenge.

fitting to the challenge, for sure. I guess people won't like the photoshopping - though what bothers me more than the colouration os the shadows - they're just too neat looking to be real.
