This is a great photo... The only detraction is the horizon being on a lean.. Really simple composition that works soo well.

This landscape has an almost surreal feeling to it. I assume it's a golf course? Well caputred..

ahhhh Panties!

This has got to be the strangest shot I've seen in this challenge so far, it's technically quite good, it's just the subject matter is soo disturbing.... Gotta give it a good score anyway, as it'd be hugely funny to see this on the home page! :-). 8.

The bits of hair / dust on a couple of the straws is quite distracting, but appart from those minor bits this is a stunning abstract, well done...

On the Window Sill

A classic still-life..

The range of tones is great, and the choice of colour / grey objects is also neat..

The only distracting thing (and this is picky) is that you've picked up some barrel distortion in this shot, as you've obviously shot it with a wide angle lense? The line of the sill along the 'bottom' is curved upwards at the ends, and the top edge is curged downwards at the ends. In a perfect abstract still life world it'd be nice if they were parallel.

If you're using a zoom lense going to the middle of the range will often give the least distortion, or picking a prime lense in in the 60-100mm range if you're using an SLR.

I'd also have liked to see a bit more separation in tone/colour between the top of the image (floor?) and the sill, maybe a solid coloured rug, or a bit of coloured art paper on the floor.

I can see this hanging in a gallery, but with a real fork, and a wee halogen light providing the shadow. You've caught the essence of a whole generation of modern art.. Perfect 1/3rds composition to boot. :-).

Waterfall Romance

What a neat image, I'm not sure it's an everyday object really, but then again if it's next door to your place, it's everyday. I think that you've got too much black at the bottom, and would have cropped out the bottom edge a bit more, and gone for a longer exposure (if possible, were the models candid?). Still very neat as it is though, a keeper in my book. P.S. Don't listen to the folks who will no doubt complain about the grain/noise. :-).

This certainly has WOW. What a neat abstract.. I'm not quite sure where your focus is, but that's not an issue with this shot, it works really well.

This is a really interesting abstract, if that's what you'd call it. I'm sure ther will be a few people take exceptoin to this title/image but heck, it's well captured, and definately and original idea.

Two of my soft spots, a bike, and a teddybear. The reflection of the street light on the top-box is a little distracting, but otherise, neat...
