Fantastic macro shot... lighiting and composition is nice. Light starbursts add a finishing touch. --9

Very interesting composition... I just keep trying to figure out exactly what it is, but I keep fixating on the shot. I do wish the photo background were a bit crisper, perhaps a bit less sharpening?

Nice approach to the challenge; nice also to se something with some color and saturation. Only nitpick is that the top right square is just a bit too hot for the rest of the shot. Very nice overall, though!

Very nice lighting and color... I do feel, however, that the very thick black border overpowers the shot.

This is a great idea. Nice creativity. I do wish the child's face was clearer and that the pic overall wasn't so dark. It looks like you've captured a neat expression on the child's face. Nice job.

Preparing for battle

Shallow DOF really adds a sense of perspective to this shot; clouds and blue sky add an almost magical effect. In my opinion, the edge of the chess board is a bit distracting, and might have been better cropped out.

Maybe it's just because I'm a desert rat but I love this photo. The scenery is amazing and the lighting is perfect. Very creative way of filming this. Nice job.

On Your Mark...

Interesting. I never would have thought of this....My greatest suggestion is to put this in a black and white to make it more appealing/interesting. And I wish I could see the whole feet, perhaps from the side.

Okay, the point of DP challenge is to take a really awesome picture that fits the challenge, not take an awesome picture and think of some clever way to get it to fit the challenge. I'm sure you've heard this crititcism by now, though. With that said, this is a really cool picture. I get the chills just looking at it and it puts me in the mood for halloween. I like your composition and color and the way you've captured this. Nice job, but I never score over 6 if it doesn't fit the challenge in any way.

Fantastic architecture... as well as capturing the transportation aspect of the challenge. --10
