Hat

Love the hatband! I really like that I can barely make out the edges of the hat. I would have preferred a more dynamic composition I think - I find this composition to be a bit low impact for me.

Night Falls on the Ohio River

This is certainly low-key, but I just don't know about "Black on Black" - however, it is a very cool shot. I don't see how the composition could be any better, and I love the bit of light reflection in the foreground. Has a very mysterious feel to it. Scoring it as if it meets the challenge, cause frankly, I don't really care if it doesn't! It's nice!

Eternal Angel

This is a pretty neat shot, but oddly enough, I find the tree kind of distracting. I keep thinking how great that angel would look against an all black background. Love the lighting.

DESK PHONE

Wow, who'd have thought you could make a phone look so interesting! Very nice lighting and composition.

Tread Darkly

Really like this shot, though it kind of made me laugh. I once did a shot with only one shoe in it, and had comments about wishing both shoes had been in the shot (I only HAD the one shoe!) Anyway - now I know what they were talking about. I really would like to see both boots! I love the way this was done - lighting is great and the composition works well for me, but it just doesn't seem natural to be only seeing 1 boot!

Lace and grace

I had to look at this a while to try to distinguish the different textures/things in the shot. Overall, this shot seems to be pretty much all in the same tonal range, making it all kind of "run together". There are a few dark areas in there, but definitely not enough contrast in the shot to suit me. The flower (I think?!) is the only thing that stands out at all for me, and I do like that part of the shot. I would like to have seen this with a stronger oblique light source that maybe would have given it more depth.

Through the Looking Glass

This shot works well for meeting the challenge, however is pretty low impact for me. I don't find the subject to be particularly interesting, and I am not crazy about the composition of the subject in the frame. I like that it is off-center, but not the way the lower edge is out of the frame - makes the composition feel somewhat unbalanced for me. I would have much preferred to see it composed so that there was more than one edge out of the frame.

This is such a cool shot! Wish I could see more of the eyes!!! I like your composition very much, and of course, the subject.

Gas Plant

I really would have liked to have seen this a little closer up, and/or cropped down some. Way too much neg spc for my taste, and also a bit fuzzy. I do love the night scene, and the way the lights of the plant look.

Nicely done for the challenge. Composition works, and the lighting is nice, however kind of "low impact" for me.
