The Rusted Life

Looks like you might have just missed the focus area. Otherwise this would have been a great example of how to do a texture shot and have a point for the eye to focus on (that just so happens to be perfectly placed in the ROT position.) Very good effort.

Background is a great idea, but I can't make out enough words, so solid might have been better. Everything else is pretty well done. Nice offscreen expectation on the rusty screwdrivers. -8

Good idea, but the background distracts a bit (too much grain coupled with the lines on the lock I think.)

After the challenge, I would like to know how you did this if it isn't in your comments.

Are You Well Red?

Great title. The picture is interesting but needs a focal point to really hammer home the impact of that great color.

Sheep looks a bit crowded. Maybe a slightly higher crop?

What kind of Engineer are/were you? I have several of those texts in storage from my days in college.

Anyway, pose and positioning are good. The two things that I thought that could possibly be improved were: the number of books, and the color scheme (not sure the duotone is the best choice for this.)

The expression on your wife is priceless. Looks like she is ready for a study break. Clearly the other commenters didn't struggle through engineering school.
