Greetings from the Critique Club.

Congratulations on a very good photo. This was certainly one of the most creative shots for the challenge. There isn't much I can say to add to this photo. I really like the purplish hue in the photo it does give it a nice soft look. Sorry that I can't add more but the photo is very nice and I can't see any other way doing it. Looking forward to seeing your stuff in future challenges.

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone. I decided not to title this with a number as there are a couple of different numbers in there so I left it to the viewer to decide.

First impression is that this meets the challenge and is a very good photo. I have to say that there might be too many lines. This is still a fine photo though. There isn't really much else for me to add. You took a good photo and met the challenge. Keep it up.

I'm not sure I like all of the negative space. Maybe a tighter crop? I think you met the challenge well though. Good work and good luck.

So many great egg shots, oh well. I did think this one would do better.

Soft Light

The slant and the soft focus were intentional, hence the title soft light. I tried for a more focused picture and it looked bad. The cord was too sharp taking away from the lamp so I went with soft focus. I think this is one of my better works but I guess most of you didn't like it. Oh well. BTW, thanks for all of the comments.

This is interesing take on the despair challenge. Seems like an orginal idea to me which is a good thing. I think there really isn't much wrong with this photo. I like the B&W and framing. I really think you did very good with this challenge and look forward to your photos for future challenges.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

Reading your own comments this photo would meet the challenge to me. But because those aren't visible during voting many didn't get the connection. Maybe a different title than the one you had as Beauty in Ice doesn't convey despair. I can't think of another title that may worked though. This is a nice macro shot of the Dogwood bud. There is some noise pixelation in the photo. If you can, try a program like Neatimage to clean it up a bit. Sorry that this didn't do better and I hope you'll still participate in future challenges.
