Revisiting this entry.

Tattoo is very nice. Lighting appears to be natural, available light. The angle at which you chose to photograph your model created rather strong back/side lighting and the back of the model is quite in the shadows, while the right shoulder is strongly illuminated. Not an ideal situation for what you are trying to convey to your viewers. The yellow towel, I suppose is for some connection to the challenge theme. I feel it is a stretch to call this within the spirit of the challenge theme. Sorry.

Revisiting for a few comments.

Photograph was artistically and very tastefully composed. Technical aspects are quite good. The soft focus works well. Lighting and exposure similarly good.

Model is very attractive and she appears quite comfortable posing. I feel like the yellow top is more of a distraction than the focus in this shot, for surely this image, as the title even alludes to, is about Veronica. I don't think it fits the spirit of this challenge. Sorry.

Revisiting...

First the good. Focused, well exposed. The lighting is tastefully executed. Really highlights what you wanted to convey to the viewer. I think overall the composition is good and the perspective works well.

Now for the bad. Border does not complement the focus of this image, the legs. It rather draws attention to the shoes. Not good in this particular challenge.

And the ugly. It's a stretch to call those legs yellow. This doesn't really conjure up the image of yellow when I view it. This does not fit very well with the spirit of the challenge. You might as well have desaturated this image (or at least selectively to preserve the shoes), and toned it yellow. Of course, even then, it wouldn't really fit the theme as it would appear to have been done for the sole purpose of meeting the yellow requirement. Point is, I think this stunning image is better served in a different challenge. Sorry.

I Like Bananas!!!

Comment:
Okay. Three comments.

1) Title is almost appropriate for the designated photograph, afterall, bananas are yellow, as is this shot. It could have been more relevant if there was ACTUALLY a banana somewhere in this photo. But you were being subtle right?

2) What am I looking at? Is this a part of a ceiling, or a wall? Looks like there is a pin hole over on the left side which gives some clue.

3) The only relevance of this entry to this particular challenge is that yes, everything in this shot is yellow. So what's the catch? Is there some inner meaning here that I'm too dense to comprehend? Sorry.

A bold entry. This shot has a lot of artistic strengths. It's probably gonna get shot down for a couple of reasons. First is that I suspect this will be too erotic for some people's taste. Second is that this is merely a desaturated and yellow toned image which makes no connection with the color yellow in an interpretive manner. I think this would be equally suited in a steel blue tone, sepia tone, or pure B&W (or in color). It's as if it was toned yellow just to submit for this challenge. For me, it's the second reason why I cannot highly rate this otherwise technically and artistically superb entry.

My GOLDEN Retreiver

Cute pooch. Two comments. Size really should be larger...try to submit a photograph that measures between 600-640 pixels on the long edge. Other comment is that while the focus appears to be sharp, there are aliasing artifacts (stair-stepping jaggies) on the deck boards which is a result of either resizing the photograph without using a bicubic or equivalent algorithm, or by cranking the sharpness up too high. These two issues mainly detract from the beauty of this photograph. Sorry.

Interesting image. I think you took a regular photograph and tweaked the colors to turn everything yellow. Two comments. Rather then being yellow, it's more of a muddy mustard color. There is a also a distracting lack of contrast and focus which takes away from the beauty of what you are trying to portray. For all the processing you performed, you kept the sky relatively blue, and I'll give ya bonus points for that.

Christmas Glow
by Momofjoy

Comment:
Couple of issues here which make this photograph unacceptable to me. Size: try to submit something more sbustantial in size...try to shoot for 600-640 pixels on the long side. Artistically I think you took a lot of liberties in designating this as a Christmas glow. Reason why I feel this way is that by glancing at this photo, I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking at. I can't even begin to imagine what this is supposed to be. So I'll trust that it has something to do with Christmas.

From a technical standpoint, there is no indication here of any type of focus. I could have reproduced this by using photoshop and the brush tool. Sorry but I cannot score this very well.

Specimens

Revisiting this shot as it bears some interest for me.

I like your composition. Nice and clean, well exposed. Specimens...interesting title. Even more interesting to contemplate what specimens these represent. Bumping this one up.

Haha, chillin' in dish of...gatorade? jello? funky blue liquid?

I think your choice of colors here works well. My only concern is that your duck appears to be reflecting too much of the blue juice. Perhaps if you illuminated this side of the duck with a directed diffuse light, he would be better exposed...just a thought. Bumping this one up to a 6.
