Fun with fungus

The focus on the subject is missed, though I can't say it is very compelling. 5

I love the processing you did and the tones are wonderful. But I wonder at the composition, at how the lines seem to be randomly placed in the frame. The base lines (looks like the back of a guitar) lead me off an abyss at the back. There is a beautiful curve, but its strength is over powered by the strong diagonal of the tape measure so the curve just kind of dies back at the abyss. The diagonal crosses in front of me, blocking me rather than leading me into the image. I seem to be entering the image from the lower right, where the strong black spot is and where the lines are straight forward and I don't think that is where you intended me to be. Hope that makes sense...

Losing Focus

Looks like a whiskey ad. Well taken image, but I'm not sure it works well for the challenge as the subject seems to be the whiskey. 6

Monet's Garden

Pretty hues. I can't decide if I would like the image better closer or further away. In other words, the image is nice but it really only makes me think of how to improve it, rather than just to enjoy it as it is. I think you met the challenge, but I don't think the image is memorable. 6

Interesting minimalistic image. I would have cropped/cloned out the black in the upper left if only to improve the simplicity. Might have also played a little more with color - this one doesn't have much impact. think oyu met the challenge but not much more than that.

For me, I think this image would be more interesting if the photographer was further away and a little more of the background was included. Its a lovely wall, one I would return to again and again, but the composition is so tight and I'm not sure the man moving out of the frame works in this instance - it is not telling me anything. Interesting non-the-less.

The Cat

The focus is definitely missed, but I don't think it makes the subject compelling. I think changing the lighting would be better, maybe snap the picture later in the day so that the cat is lighter, the background darker. At this point, the trees are more interesting than the cat and it just seems the cat got in the way.

Le Cheval

Interesting. I like the colors and the use of light and dark but I also think your image is completely overwhelmed by the 'stuff' surrounding the horse - there is too much clutter and its not interesting clutter. meet challenge topic though.

With a larger tonal range, this image could be more interesting. Right now, it is just kind of dark and dreary. I like the color palette though.
