Nuts and bolts. Focus and blured. Light and dark. Many and few.

Too much title ;) It fit with the first part, nuts and bolts. The shot is okay, the lighting could be a bit more balanced and maybe a better order to the nuts and bolts. It looks like they were just tossed onto a white board and a few shots were snapped off. A 3

Balloon

Not sure how it meets the challenge, I'll go with dark/light? The spider web on the edge of the light does help create the illusion of a helium balloon and it almost works but the lack of contrast and the other treads from the web ruin the illusion. :( A 3

If this was in focus and the end of the keys weren't blown out with light this would probably rate an 8 or above, I like the crop and the composition of the shot but the other factors hurt it a great deal. A 3

This shot has a lot of potential with the right lighting and composition and angle. The way it is set up now is uninteresting to me personally, the glare on the glass is distracting and the negative space on the right does nothing for the shot to me. Maybe if you tried lighting from behind or underneath? Also, focus is lacking on the base even though most of the glass looks like it's {b]almost[/b] in focus. A 2 as is, sorry

Interesting idea, not a very good shot though. Sorry, out of focus, grainy and nothing to really hold my attention. A 2

Fire/Water

The front of this shot is pretty good, the water droplets, the shine on the surface and then you see the candle, out of focus and glaring out at me. The negaive space on the left doesn't add anything to the shot for me personally. A 2

Huh, interesting. Well one thing I know is that you are on the site counsil from the buttons available to you :) Wonder how many others will catch that. The shot doesn't really offer me much overall. A 2, please don't delete me! :)

Opposite sides of the board? Guess that works, the shot is out of focus, the light doesn't work well for this shot and the cropping and composition leaves me wanting. A 2

I guess it meets the challenge, barely. Nothing to really hold my attention, the lighting is off and the colors are more distracting than appealing. A 2

I'm guessing the Opposite is the boat on dry land? Not really sure. The shot is blown out on the right side and too dark on the left. It seems a bit hazy also. The composition is okay but nothing to really hold my attention. A 3
