HM - Unpleasant Answer
by eloise

Comment:
The title suggests that the Questions have been answered. Also, it doesn't raise any questions in my mind. So I don't think that it fits the challenge well. A bird was hit in the road. Also a very not pleasant subject. The lighting looks poor, and thank goodness, the focus also seems soft taking away a lot of the detail of your subject. The background is quite too dark, and overall just not a pleasant shot. ~Heather~

I have no clue what these platforms are used for, so I guess it does raise some questions in my mind. What are they? Who uses them? I like the foggy, dark mystery of the photo as well. I think that adds to the questions. Had it been totally clear what these were, I don't think it would have such an effect. ~Heather~

Vigilance

i'm not really sure this raises any questions in my mind. Looking at it, with my limited knowledge of hilicopters, this looks to be a guy, who looks like maybe a mechanic taking a break on top of this helicopter. The shadow that makes him look like he's got 3 legs kind of bothers me a bit. The color in the sky is great, and focus and clarity are good as well. ~Heather~

The Cat Bird

Comment:
Cute. I like how you caught the piece in the birds mouth. Kind of answers the question of "who's been eating the cats food". The focus on the food and the birds legs is good. Looks like he was moving his head a bit though cause the piece in his mouth is a little on the soft focus side. otherwise, it's a nice shot. ~Heather~

Lost In Here

Without the title, I'm thinking this is just another shot of some girl in a bikini at the beach. With your title though I'm thinking that maybe she dropped something into the water and is looking for it? The focus here is really blurry. Also, the horizontal water line chops her head right off. I think it would habe been better to see that horizon in a different spot. Not sure if it's the focus or the lighting, but something is drawing the detail right our of her face. Would like some more clarity there. ~Heather~

Unanswered question: What happened 9/11?
by SharQ

Comment:
Looking at this shot...I do not think "what happened 9/11" at all. However, it does make me think "what the hell?" so it does leave unanswered questions. I can't tell if this is suposed to be poking fun at a certain group of people or not. My first impression is that it is, and that seems to be a bold move on your part. One that I dont really approve of. If not though, I still don't get it. Which is a good thing in this challenge. The bearded woman bothers me. ~Heather~

Am I Not Worthy For Your Kingdom?

I like the crop. This definately makes me go "hmm?" I do really like the lighting and how it lights up only part of the person creating some dramatic lighting. I think not being able to see the entire subject gives this the mystery. Also, What IS the lighting? It is a religious thing, or an alien thing? Definately leaves some questions unanswered for me. Great shot. ~Heather~

Flowers, a Bench and a UFO

Cute. The flowers look a little out of focus, but the ship is in good focus and quite funny. I like how you placed the most obvious object off center in the upper left of the photo. Good lighting and makes me wonder. ~Heather~

I do really like the lighting on the subjects. It makes the color stand out very well, and adds to the crispness of the shot. However, there are a few little shadows throughout the shot that I find to be a bit distracting. There is a shadow from the brides arm on her hip, and there are shadows from the flowers on the girls dress. Not huge distractions, however noticable.
The angle is nice in my opinion. I do think that the angle helps in capturing her, and her doing her job.
I'm not quite sure I like how the brides hand just comes out of nowhere and looks to be grabbing the head of the little girl. It does look like she's trying to help, but seems strange at the same time.
Your focus and clarity are awesome. That is what I like most about the shot is that it's so crisp and clear that the detail is just awesome. Great capture and definately fits the theme nicely.

This is a very nice low key shot. Not what I had envisioned "black on black" to be, but I definately see how it could be considered that way. Since I'm not voting though, who cares what I think. lol
I think that the lighting is wonderful. Really nicely lit on the egg and egg cup. I like how it only shows a slight bit of the subject and leaves the rest to our imagination.
The negative space is great. I dont think there is too much at all. I think that the negative space is what really makes this visually appealing to me. The lighting is awesome, but I don't think it would have the same punch if it were centered in the frame.
Focus and clarity look to be good, it's hard to tellm but seems just fine to me. Had it been blurry looking, I think it would be obvious and non appealing.
Overall a really nice job. Definately a good shot, and I don't really have any suggestions on improvement, as the whole shot appeals to me.
Great shooting!
