A nearly empty bottle of water, right? Very well done. I love the bluish cast and vignetting. Very good pic!

Glasses

Beautiful shades of gray and a mesmerizing repetitive theme. A few of the glasses look dirty, which distracts from the overall impact. I love the crop. Nicely done!

I missed this one my first time through and am glad that I got to study it. Very nicely done. It captures the attention and holds it. What an incredible juxtaposition of inverted and erect images! The blue hue of the sky is striking in contrast to the background greens of the grass and bushes. Very well thought out and striking. I give it a 10.

'Esc' An all too Familiar Everyday Object

Nice execution of the macro shot. I'd have liked to see more of the keyboard, possibly a perspective shot showing some other keys. But very well done, good lighting/shadow work.

I'm sure you'll get lots of comments on the too-burned background. This concept has great potential with all the textures, shadows, and angles involved.

Of the numerous key-themed entires to this challenge, this is my favorite. Wonderfully black background and great lighting on the keys. Love the crop too. 8.

Down the toilet it goes....

Nice concept but the result is a little too burned out. There are lots of potential textures and details that could have been captured with different lighting.

I didn't think much of this at first glance, but it has really grown on me. Very simple and elegant - the kind of picture I often striive for. I think your shallow dof really works well, and I love the choice of BW. I was initially going to give a 6 but I decided it's one of my favorites in the challenge. 8!
