Really good job. I just wish that the squares were lined up with the border better.

This is really neat, I'll be glad to see how you did it. Great job. A bit too much on the shadows but I wonder if that was necessary.

The best of the stuffed animal shots IMHO. I wish I could see all of the eye though.

Very nice, the expression on "Waldo's" face makes the shot. The shot seems a little yellow or orange but excellent nonetheless.

Can you see her?

All those naked models!!! Very good job of hiding "Waldo" and let him be seen too. Good lighting and tone. One of my favorites this week.

Good Waldoing. Hidden nicely but easy to find as well. I like the composition and the way that your lines lead to the leg. Good job.

Initial thoughts
Creative idea, meets the challenge, light & focus seem a bit off

Composition/ Content
Great idea of turning the two around. The composition itself is good. A higher angle may have shown more of the reflection which I like. The backlighting was good for the fruit but the way it worked it burned out a couple of the fruit pieces and cast a very distracting glare around the vase. It probably caused the shot to look out of focus as well.

Background
It would have been better not being able to see the edge of the mirror but I can live with it. However, I don't like the two tone background as much. I feel that it detracts from your main subjects.

Camera Work - Technical
Focus seems a bit soft, like I said earlier that may be because of the lighting but it just doesn't feel sharp.

Digital Processing - Technical
Grain seems good, you've used enough pixels and I like the border. A bit more saturation to bring out the colors may have been warrented. If you look at the colors in the reflection they are much brighter and stand out nicely.

Fits The Challenge
Definitely fits the challenge well.

My Opinion On The Photo
I originally scored this shot a five. I think that it meets the challenge well but could have been improved a little to finish even higher than it did. Good job, and keep up the good work.


I would be happy to talk further about this shot if you would like to contact me.
