nice composition, i like the symmetry of it. fulfills the challenge for sure. did you deliberately make this so grainy? if not, check out the tutorial on tips on how to best save your file for max. quality and using the whole allowable file size. picture also seems a little soft. -- gr8photos (3)

Crystal Light

Comment:
that crystal is great. you may be getting comments that it needs to be cleaned, but i think the texture adds a lot. what i find rather distracting in this photo is that wavy diagonal thing going across the photo. i just can't quite figure out what it is. i'm sure it's important (it's too obvious to be missed while taking the photo), i just don't get it, and therefore to me it's distracting. -- gr8photos (5)

Transparent Personality
by kvockler

Comment:
hm. i guess technically this is a good photo. composition is ok, it's in focus, not too dark or too light. i also see your point of humor, but somehow the picture doesn't grab me and i'm trying to figure out why. maybe it's because the wrap (can't remember the brand name) is kind of used as clothing, but not really. one arm is wrapped in, the other almost tied up in the air. i guess it looks a little haphazardous to me. but then, that's just my opinion, other's may be thrilled and may get it more. (gr8photos - 3).

I just tried to check out your new version of the photo but couldn't find it in your gallery. Hm. Which of your galleries did you put the photo in?

I don't know how the shadow vs. sillhouette discussion ended in the forum, but I'm firmly in the 'they are not the same' camp, so in my mind, you didn't really meet the challenge. For a sillhouette shot though, I really like this one. Interesting shapes, nice contrast, like the white just behind the tower that slowly turns to blue as you get further away.
