I like the idea of the shot. I wish this was larger to better evaluate the photo.

This composition just doesn't work for me very well. To two things I notice most are the tulips and the tree. The tombstones seem to just be a distraction, and the large piece in the upper left makes it all look choppy to me.

Strong Flavas

I like the lighting and the unique take on the subject. I would definitely do away with the red border (and I'm one who usually likes a border.) I think a small black border would do just fine. Still, I like the set up and the shot.

The lighting on this shot seems dark to me....it loses detail. Not really a composition that holds my interest, but I think it does meet the challenge.

Fun shot. I do find the glare on the glasses and pans to be distracting. I think the lighting could have been improved by backing away from the subject just a bit and diffusing the flash.

Certainly a symbol of strength. I think the composition on this one could be much better, and the focus seems a little bit off. For the composition, I would have preferred more of a portrait orientation, with less space left and right. Others may disagree, but I would also have tried to center the statue a little more with the two columns of cement behind it. A slight boost in contrast would also be helpful I think.

BULL

I see the connection to the challenge. A couple of items of composition I find detracting from the photo - the back of the sign post on the lower right, and the tree disecting the bull. I'm not sure if you could have changed the angle on this or not, depending on what else was around it. I think I would have also liked it better with the bottom not quite so cropped. Focus and color both look good.

Your lighting here is really nice and I like the background because it's not a stark white. I think it's a great choice for black and white and is also well composed. I'm a firm believer in the power of prayer, so this hits an emotional note with me as well. Great job.

I really like this shot a lot and I think it shows the topic very well. Personally, I would like just a little bit more detail on the back - but it's good this way as well.

I wonder how many people will understand your title? I used to have a "Bee" pin, given to me by a friend who was encouraging me in overcoming the odds in a tough situation. I think this is a nice idea and I really like the photo. the wings blur adds a lot to the shot. And you just made a liar out of me.....on one of the forums I said I was tired of seeing insect shots....but I like this one a lot.
