Nice shallow depth of field...and it's B&W...I'm sure this will do well.

The Dishwasher

This shot seems to be just a bit soft and is too busy: my eyes are constantly hunting for a point to focus on.

The water really adds a nice element to this shot. I wonder what some sidelighting from the right would've done.

Nice capture, but it doesn't really "tell a story." I do like that you filled the frame and the angle from which you took the shot. 6

I love the backlighting in this shot. The sewing machine has a great texture to it, well done capturing it.

I wonder how many people end up giving you a DNMC vote and say that the appliance isn't the main subject...

"A Light in the Window"

I loved this image! My only thoughts are the trash and maybe change the crop to cut out the bottom 1/8 of the frame as it doesn't seem to add much to the image...and, well, the barrel distortion, but obviously there's really nothing you can do about that under Basic. 8

I would like to second Steve's post-challenge comment. I think you did a great job with this shot and the sub-5 score is IMO, not at all reflective of the creativity and effort that you put into this capture. I definitely must applaud you for taking a really tough band name (and pulling if off)...instead of copping out with an easy one (like I did).

ETA: Care to share how you did this?

I personally thought this was a great capture! Especially when one considers the band...well played, Sir. 9 and my vote for the posthumous!

Wow, I must say that I'm extremely disappointed with this finish. I thought the creativity would've at least got me a 5, but clearly the obvious choice was the better one in this case.

I REALLY feel that there should be a requirement to leave a comment with a score of a 3 or worse. I want to give a big thank you to those 37 of you that thought it really sucked, but didn't let me know why.
