The colours in this shot are inspiringly beautiful. (9) Not too keen on the blue; it takes away from fruits...

Undressing

This is a superb idea, but there are a few things wrong with the shot. There are two main problems. Firstly, the lighting is very low. While this might be intentional - judging by the title - it doesn't actually work. Primarily, this is because of the background. It's difficult to determine where the subject ends and the background starts. This could be improved by choosing a much brighter (or darker) neutral backdrop. The various scratches, dents and dark shadows distract from the already hard to see central subject. Try using a plain backdrop for the shot to remove the distractions. Next, try lighting the subject with a bounced or heavily diffused flash. White paper held at angle in front of flash unit works quite well – but be careful of your ceiling colour, if it isn't white, you'll get a colour cast. This is only my opinion and I hope I haven't caused offence… Good luck… Keep shooting…

This is a very clever and well thought out shot… Great use of DOF, great use of subjective background and great use of lighting… Good luck…

Classic and clever use of highly contrasting colours and textures. Great use of macro too. (9)

This is an amusing shot and a superb idea, but it lacks something in terms of overall appeal. The composition seems a little too centralised, the path edge is distracting and the colour is a little washed out. I would suggest trying a similar shot with a different background and perhaps trying a number of different angles. Inside, perhaps with a neutral backdrop… Sorry to be so negative…

Couldn't resist - ate 2 of them while I was taking.. :o

Good artistic merit and a really good shot… Only gripe, I think perhaps the subject is too central... (7)

Alien Landscape
by jenarom

Comment:
As this shot was loading and prior to reading the title – I thought that it looked like an alien landscape – then I smiled when I looked at the title… This is superb, but you should have lost the plastic figure- it kills the effect… I was thinking how alien it looked long before the little plastic monstrosity appeared. Right, having blotted out the plastic thing – this is a really well taken and superbly composed shot. You have achieved you objective with aplomb; first class picture – plastic thing not withstanding… With little creature (5)… Without plastic thing (10++) … Compromise on creative use the camera and outstanding shooting – (9)
