"Alien" or "Dad, are we done yet?"

Neat effect, the pebbled driveway really adds to this one. The angle adds to this shot. Does your driveway angle downwards?

white blackmail

Nice, simple, but a bit plain. Shadow is less than distinct, with other shadows hinting that you might have multiple, conflicting light sources. Brand new envelope? Photo 9 Creativity 7 Shadows 7 total 7

Bigleaf Maple, Spring Afternoon

Very nice, I like the interplay between the shadows and the back lit leaves, but I think you are looking up, right? Sun is shining bright? Last week, I ranted about sky shots not being blue and several really nice people responded with suggestions. I think a really blue sky background would have raised this up a couple more notches, if it were possible. The third color contrast would have really excited me (white is the absense of color).

Sundial for Denizens of Cubes

Interesting concept. Does it keep good time? Cubicle looks vaguely familiar (my guess is they all do). Good photo, sharp focus, etc. Kinda boring, sorry. Photo 6 Creativity 6 Shadows 7 total 6

Very nice detail. Hard to not like macro shots. I like the antennea. Photo 8 Creativity 8 Shadows 9 total 8

Five O'Clock Shadow
by jaid

Comment:
Wonderful still. (stopped the motion of the second hand perfectly!) Less light sources or main light source further back would have made a more distinct shadow. Light flare at 10 O'Clock. I would have liked a cleaner reflection on the other side of the watch, between 2 and 3 (see the dark matter?) This shot reminds me of a previous winner, but it was a super clean set up, probably in a studio. Seems like I picked on this quite a bit, but I really like it. Keep up the good work!

Shadow of the clou

Well, the shot is perfect, but humblely speaking, dull/plain/unexciting. A bit harsh glare under the head of the nail, too. Please explain your title next week, my dumb, but I don't get it. Photo 8 Creativity 5 Shadows 6 total 6

Champagne for my Shadow

Interesting shot, the elements in this shot are great, but the corkscrew doesn't work, something just "looks" wrong, can't place it. Overall darkish.
