An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away

challenge -- met
technical -- great lighting and color on the apple, wonderful black background.
composition -- taking a bite of the apple was a nice touch ... not too thrilled that that bit of the apple is already going brown (i'm guessing you took a lot of photos to get this shot just right :) i like the medication in the background being blurry, just wondering if you have another shot where the containers are just a touch less blurry and how that worked. overall good shot :)

bad luck

challenge -- met
technical -- while i like high-key shots, i personally feel that it doesn't work so well here. i'm searching for the cat's eye, and the foreground just seems to blend into the white.
composition -- like the position of the cat and the fact that its reflection is there, too. whatever that black thing to the left of the cat is, is very distracting to me.

Prepaired Defence

i'm sure people already told you about the typo in the title, good thing this isn't a title contest ;)
challenge -- met. great idea. i'm sure most people will get this one.
technical -- well done. little glare on the garlic is totally acceptable, colors are nice.
composition -- not totally sure about the arrangement. the cross on the beaded chain is barely visible. i also don't think the red beads fit in here (the color). not y sure how i would rearrange (sorry, i know i'm not helping you there, but i wanted to at least leave you my impression).

They are coming...

Comment:
looks just like the movies :)
challenge -- met
technical -- i would love to see the leaves just a tad sharper, but i suspect that wasn't possible
composition -- i like it. picture may be a little heavy to the right with the leaves (and then nothing on the left), but i think it's still ok.

black cats are evil
by shutterfly

Comment:
no they are not ... at least mine isn't ;)
challenge -- met
technical -- blurry. did you get too close for your camera to be able to focus? i do that a lot with mine ...
composition -- love the color of those eyes. tight crop works.

cow in the twilight
by kenbo

Comment:
challenge -- till the cows come home? i think you met the challenge. hope i'm guessing the right one here.
technical -- your horizon needs leveling.
composition -- a house (if there was one) would've made the challenge clearer. not knowing what was to the left of the frame, i wonder what it would look like if the cow was placed in the right of the picture so that it leads the viewer through the pic, not out. love the colors of the sky.

Shattered Future Next 7 Years
by CLarson557

Comment:
challenge -- met
technical -- you managed to get the reflection in focus, more than i achieved when i tried this kind of shot. good job.
compostition -- personally, i feel there's too much 'wasted' space. maybe have more of the person reflect in the mirror pieces and less of the concrete floor.

2 apples a D.. keeps 2 D...s away
by amnon

Comment:
this one made me smile. i think i would've used the an apple ... instead of two apples... and i don't quite get the dots in the title (why not complete the words?) but then, this is no title contest. :)
technical -- i like how you managed to get your background almost completely white, you could remove those remaining areas after the challenge is over to make it look even more clean. color of the apples is great, and i like that there's no reflection on them. reflection on the stetoscope is hard to avoid, i know, but even less would've been even better.
composition -- love it. the smiling face works well.

Judgement
by CreativeFlyPhoto

Comment:
challenge -- met
technical -- very nice lighting setup, just the candle is a bit blown out.
composition -- personally, i find the pumkin doesn't fit in with the rest of objects, to cheery/cheesy/commercial holiday. the glittery things in the foreground aren't discernible, i think i would prefer a plain black background or have them more recognizable. i very much like the arrangement of the other items, you obviously put a lot of thought into them. nice dynamic.
