Uninvited

The shine and soft focus of what I believe to be a bowl of lemon sour balls made them look wet, gooey and stuck together. Other than that, I really like this shot. Appears to show a mood with the simple use of candy. You had a really good idea in using the "intruder". The border is nice too. It pulls in the yellow color, making the red loner even more out of place.

Classic Candy

The color just seems off here....maybe too dark? The chocolate kind of looks like its been out too long and is dried out. Not very appealing. Otherwise, it is a very good idea. I love Hershey bars. Good DOF.

Out of all the "sky" shots, this is the best one, in my opinion. The cloud formation is interesting and well captured in your photo. The mountains and landscape in the foreground give it good dimension. Well done and nicely focused which most other lack. Good luck

It just seems like the color is a bit flat and washed out (forgive the pun). Plus, using a white border didn't help.

Flowers In The Rain

Good capture of the falling rain. Lighting is perfect, colors are vivid and subject is nicely focused. The reflection of light on the water drops adds a nice touch. Photo also has nice depth...the flowers appear to be popping right out of the picture. Good luck...you should score nicely.

The best foggy picture in the lot. I can't think of anything that I would have done differently. Well focused and no distractions. What a dreary day!

Nice! The cropping of the picture, however, could have been relaxed just a little bit. Part of the handle is cut off by the border. Background might have been a little more interesting...perhaps the umbrella could have been propped up against a brick building on a sidewalk. It may have been distracting, but just a thought. Otherwise, the photo is well done. Lighting and focus are good

The colors in this photo are magnificant. Very nice capture and well done. I love the reflection of color in the pool. However, I'm not sure if I like the fountain showing in the photo. The falling water winds up as a rusty blurr and distracts from the beautiful sunset and otherwise other "clean" features of this shot...not to mention the reflection streak.

This picture has kept moving up my score list as the day has gone on. It started out as an 8 and now it's at a 10 now that I'm done with all the photos. I scored it lower at first because I felt that it was a little dark and maybe cropped a little too close. But now I feel that the close crop is necessary. It wouldn't have the same "feel" and wouldn't show the great detail of the water drops which is the main feature in this photo. Above all, I like the fact that it's unique, well focused and meets the challenge head on. Very professional looking...you should score high. Hopefully, I'll see this in the top 3, if not first. Good luck!
