Fairly dull colours, a trip to the saturation clinic to give this a bit of boost might have been good. The blue object at the front seems quite noisy, if light was low, using a tripod with a lower ISO to achieve higher quality might have been worth considering.

Amazing sky, could almost have done with using your smallest apature though to capture the detail in the clouds as well as the bear.

I Bought It On eBay

Comment:
Very busy, lots of detail, perhaps worth considering a B&W conversion that always seem to work so well with busy street photography. Quite a low difficulty factor too given this is essentially a still life which affords you repeated shots and this might limit the score

Shadows shadows shadows.... i look forward to reading the comments after the voting to see if anyone else had mentioned anything other than the lighting or the shadows. I think just one of these items done simply with a striking B&W would have worked much better.

That gritty over sharp look works well with this subject. Great black and white tones

One of the best concepts, great B&W tones although the ground in the bottom right hand corner looks a bit out of place as it has much higher contrast than anywhere else

"Soon the Hunt Will Begin..."

Comment:
Interesting lighting and works well because of the black backdrop - any small distracting background elements would have ruined this. If only the figure was position more to the left

Vintage Ornaments

Great lighting and lovely tones. Very festive too and so this should be popular. Interesting choice of duotone hue, Christmas not often associated with cold colours, more the traditional warm golden / red tones of a roaring fireplace or something - however it works so well here. Well composed and not spoilt by any complicated distracting background elements.

Not a fan of the lighting and you have ended up with burnt out highlights and shadows; there is perhaps even a bit of chromatic aberration creeping which isn't ideal. Well composed and the crop rotation adds interest

He was unwanted and unloved but now he's my new best friend

Well lit, nice and simple, no complicated background to distract the eye, well focused and good tonal range. However, the relative low difficulty factor might mean that some voters score a bit on the low side
