I wish I didn't see the light in this case as it is taking too much of the attention in the composition.

Mushroom In Black And White
by smjbmw

Comment:
No disrespect intended here, but where's the white in "Black and White"? The image is coming across as mostly middle-tone grey. The B/W tonal range is very thin and lacking in contrast.

Regarding the subject matter - that is an interesting looking mushroom. :-)

Good luck in the challenge.

Blue Duck Group: The Echo Quack Tour
by CNovack

Comment:
Well, I gave it an 8 because I liked the color (Blue/Black/White is one of my favorite combo's) and the image was well executed (comp, etc...).

However:

E) Title needed work. It was not clear this was a parody on the Blue Man Group

Who/What the heck is the Blue Man Group?! Totally over my head. Must be too old I guess.
