"American Pie"

You have done a great job of portraying this song. I think that your composition is great, with the blue in the corners and the stripes leading into the corners also. The lines leading towards the pie adds focus to the main point of interest of the picture. You had a few comments that the pie looked shop bought, was it? If so, it's the best looking shop bought pie I have seen!
Background
Using the American flag here, fits the song totally but I think that it may have cost you a few points from the non American voters. A tricky and controversial topic, but I think that it would be the only reason why you have quite a few ones and twos. Enough said!
Technical
your lighting looks great, very even and creates good colour saturation. Focus is a little soft on the pie, but very sharp on the background, perhaps focusing on the pie then recomposing would have fixed this.
My Opinion
I think that you did a great job of portraying the song in a simple and effective way. Without doubt, it fits the challenge perfectly. I hope that you find this helpful and Good Luck in the next challenge!

I love the almost watercolour feel to this (no pun intended!) Lovely colours here. Good Luck! Very original, how did you get this effect?

Beautiful colours, looks like it could be in France. I think that the building is too central, maybe a bit more to the left would have been good.

I like the composition here, although I do find myself tilting my head a bit to look at the score. I am wondering how the candle relates to the song, though I think that candelight does add a lovely soft and romantic feel to the picture.
Background
You have managed to create a strong black background which does help to keep the composition nice and simple and allows the viewer to look at only the key elements of the picture.
Technical
Focus is excellent here and the whole image is very sharp, I really need to learn how to use the unsharp mask cause I think it really adds a lot to the overall quality of the picture. The candlelight has created nice soft lighting, though I am not too keen on the green glow around the flame.
My Opinion
I think that you did a good job of representing the song, though perhaps overall the picture needs an extra something for impact, though to be honest I can't think of anything! Anyway, hope that this helps and Good Luck in the next challenge.

"Love You To Death" - Type O Negative

Although I a not usually a fan of this kind of picture, I thought that yours was original and had a strong impact. Your room must be a pretty interesting place! Your composition seems pretty perfect to me, good cropping and only contains the essential@info. Perhaps a tiny bit more space on the right of the picture to include the edge of the fingertips, but this doesn't really effect the image.
Background
Background colour is good here and complements the image. There is nothing distracting in the background and it sets the figures off well.
Technical
Overall focus seems a little soft, cause of the obvious low light situation and the aperture of 2.8. Paerhaps having a slower shutter speed would have compensated and abled you to use an aperture with more depth of field. I think that the colour cast on this picture is one of the strong points, really adds to the atmosphere.
My Opinion
I think that you did a great job with this, very original and could easily imagine this being used as an album cover, unfortunately don't know the song but I can imagine that this would fit well. Hope that this helps and Good Luck in the next challenge!
