One Too Many
by TiN

Comment:
One for the road, one for my baby, and one too many? :) Nice warm tones, good control of the glass. The grey background helps to underscore the mood and as a result only the glass highlights are the light values. Like the mood of this picture and the story it tells. Very effective composition: the two glasses near the edge and one cropped off allude to many empty and already consumed glasses outside of the picture plane. It might be rewarding for you to lay off on the liquor and spend that time instead on photography ;) 8

A technical feat and a lot of clean-up i bet. 8

Broken glass
by sahko

Comment:
Well done, reminds me of the Broken Primaries shot i saw at photosig (did i say Primaries????). This was tough to do and you controlled it well, including the light. Funny, it has a nice emotive quality to me. Yeah, it can just reflect an accident but it also can express violence/frustration - the viewer may read, or not, whatever he wants from it, right? That glass has a very nice, warm quality to it. Just from the light or some toning as well? 8

Man in the broken glass

I like this one but i also believe that with little effort you could have done much more with this. The title is okay but you could have gone for Depression or Anger. I also feel the mundane clothing of the model distracts from the shot. Had the man been naked (you won't see anything 'bad' anyway) it would have helped to bring out more the potentially emotive quality of this shot, i.e. a man caught in an intimate moment when he is putting his soul on display. Then again, this may not have been taken at home but in a public place and making that a little difficult to do. I like the colors, like the glass, like the idea. Man, such an emotive potential here - hope you work more on this, unless of course, that's NOT at all what you had in mind as the meaning of this shot. 8

Bad Ass Glass

Like this because of its painterly qualities. The use of perfect lighting contributed a lot, imho, to achieve that painterly result. The interesting background, is that more glass? Emphasis of the blue tone, supplemented with the red, works very well. Good composition. 8

Magnifying Picasso
by kosmikkreeper

Comment:
A simple device, known to all of us, used creatively to produce an original image. Like your use of the blue tones. The Picasso allusion in the title is very appropriate - except for the implication that it might harken back to his Blue Period . It's more representative for his last 30 years or so. Just toss this out, titles never enter into my scores. 8

Fruit bowl glasses

This has a nice abstract, op-art, Escherian quality to it. Find the title too humdrum but you probably felt a need to identify this image in order to please the meeting-the-challenge nazis. 8

a dip in acapulco bay

This is fun. Your presentable end-result must have ended up pretty small but clever you worked it in a nice, non-conventional frame setting to fool a bit more. 8

the old tobacco warehouse - brooklyn, new york

Comment:
I like the original vantage point of this shot. If it weren't for that famous bridge no one would ever guess this is NYC. Great to leave the 'beaten path' for something as cliche as postcards. Triangles are one of my favorite shapes and i see a number of them hear; my eye dotes on them. 7

Well done, magnetic, and congrats. This is a very clean mood image. Your decision to shift the hues obviously was a happy one. Yesterday we were discussing Neat Image and was hoping to see a subtle example of its use before downloading a trial version and here it is!
