I like the detail you've captured. You can see a hint of discoloration at the tip of the pen which makes me believe this is a working pen, not just a desk decoration. Beautiful. 8

Dynamic, interesting visually, and tells a story. Excellent! My 10 for the week.

I really like this idea. My biggest problem is it's too dark. Possilby a brighter colored stocking/garter combination could liven it up as well. 6

there's a story here, but it's too difficult to see based on the way the shot is framed.

Shame on you for not using real Snapple(TM)! As we all know Snapple(TM) does not have any blue products! Your obvious attempts to sway the voters should earn you a DQ! ;) (Well you did say you wondered when someone was going to comment like that...:))

Great shot, and a well earned ribbon!

Lemon: from primary to secondary color. Naturally.

Greetings from Critique Club!

Dude, we need to discuss fridge cleaning and hygeine. ;) That said, nice sharp image, and I like the detail on the mold. I also like the yellow background, which helps emphasize the original color of the lemon. The image does provoke an emotional reaction- as evidenced by the other comments you have recieved. I think stronger lighting might have upped the color saturation a bit on the wall, making the image pop out a bit more. Nice idea!

First thing that catches my attention is the starburst reflections. I like the angle you have the glasses at. I also like the reflections you captured in the lenses. Very nice DOF, and good colors! I agree that this is probably better suited for the Secondary Colors challenge, but by now you probably know that. :) Nice job.

What's under the hood?

The fact that this particular image doesn't fit this challenge aside, I like what you did here. I like the way you can see the engine under the hood, but not quite see the engine under the hood. I also like the refelctions that frame the engine.

I find the starburst effect distracting on the hood. The car showing to the left also adds a distracting element.

Very well done Photoshop job, and you also had good images to work with.

Harbour Views

I see a fellow A40 user! Excellent. My biggest problem with this image series isn't technical. It doesn't seem to tell a story. Especially for a landlubber like me who's not exposed to harbor life. It looks like you ended up shooting on a cloudy day and as a result did not get optimal lighting for some of these shots. That gives the image an overall dark, dreery feel. It's almost like you are too far away. You have a good close-up of the water, then you have some farther shots of buildings. It might be interesting to see what happens if you get closer to the buildings and shoot at a different angle. As an example, straight up on the lighthouse.

The lighthouse is really the strongest element of this image. To create a more effective multi-image shot, I'd reccomend building the story around the lighthouse. If they let you enter the building, shoot some images from inside looking out. Get closer to the objects that tell the story about life in a harbor.

Heineken: Smooth and Refreshing!

Greetings from CC land!

The strongest visual element in this image is the left hand close up on the bottle. My eyes draw left and focus on the details. The condensation on the bottle is a very good element. From that strong image on the left we move to a series of less compelling smaller images. The bottles in the center are interesting, but don't really add much to the overall image. I'd like to see a closer shot of the beer glass, maybe with the same level of detail...showing some of the bubbles from the foam?

It's got the beginnings of a great ad! You have a good title that clearly explains the shot. Nice work!
