Circles of Life

suspicions on your frame being legal within the editing rules but will ignore for vote.

Image suffers from over exposure in top half: you must get the lighting right, it is critical to a good image. If the bike was in the light or the shade, it would have been much better. Half and half means that you will either have one half under or over exposed (here, over exposed). Colours are washed out generally (increase satuaration), and the image is not sharp (use Unsharp Mask as the last editing step when preparing for submission). The composition is poor - the bike is photographed side on against a dull background: change angle, bend down, get some intersting angles and see if you can find a better way of capturing this image. Take a photo that meets the challenge, not meet a challenge and hope that the photo will do.

Clever and attractive. Great tones on the clockface. Like the razor sharp look. Nice.

Ooh - pretty! great capture. Nice contrast and well caught with the reflections. Have you painted your ceiling black especially?

Only criticism is in your cropping: not quite central, to my eye. Needs to be perfect for an impact, central composition like this. Still a good score from me!

great tones. Love the contrast. Very approporiate image. Person on LHS is not quite a distraction nor focal point, though he is noticeable - might be better with him not there, or with him as a greater part of the subject. Still v nice.

pretty, but I really want to be in a bit closer (tighter crop) - you have clipped the outside edges, and if doing that, then realy get in there and focus on the detail in the flower, not the surrounding bushes. composition v central - would suggest putting flower centre onto a third line when recropping.

great idea, interesting, but you need wither a faster shutter speed, to make the drops hang in frae perfectly still, or a slower shutter speed to make them flow (result is like sand or salt being poured). This is half way, and does neither.

nice idea, but composition v central, and the "self portrait" bit do not do much for me. Outside areas maybe fractionally too large to be an efective frame.

nice composition, but white balance off (too yellow) and image has slight focus issue - just out of focus, I think.

erm - colour balance is off, making this look unappetising. green/yellow cast is bad. subject not the best in any case. Needs DoF onad focus on details - not a good choice of subject to get a pretty circle out of, I thnk
