Flames

"Flames" is a great entry into the Love challenge. You were able to come up with a creative idea and implement it, which is always excellent.

I really like the simplicity of the shot. I think you did a good job of placing the subject in the frame so we don't have too much empty space. The light you were able to capture from the flame looks good. The only thing I would really suggest is the flame to be more in focus, which I am sure could prove to be quite a challenge.

I wish I had more to comment on, but you did a good job just a little more focus and I think you would have scored higher.

"Love" is a very creative concept for this Love challenge. After looking at the image closely, you have come up with a good idea, I wonder how many voter may not have looked this closely to see what the words underneath said.

The photo itself is very clean technically. The focus and lighting both look very good. The coloring of the blood is pretty good, I might try a shade or two darker if possible. I think the photo might be more dramatic if the words were in a black font as opposed to the grey.

I think you are doing an awesome job, look how far you have come from your first two challenges. Keep up the good work!

Self-hate to death (a last glance at the "enemy")

"Self-hate to death (a last glance at the "enemy")" is a very interesting entry into the Hate challenge. I think you defiantly did an excellent job of being creative and coming up with an idea that really does meet the challenge.

I have to give you major credit for doing a self portrait, those can be some of the toughest shot anyone can take. I think it is critical that you left your actual self as part of the photo so that we can understand the concept. The lighting and focus both look good. I am not sure if I really like the mirror on the side, it is kind of distracting.

I think maybe if you were able to make the lighting a little creepier, like with a few shadows and darkening the background out some it might have scored higher.

Great idea! I think you are very creative and it defiantly shows through your photos.

I miss you, pumpkin...

"I miss you, pumpkin..." is a very interesting choice for the Love II challenge. I think voters have a really hard time with photos in this challenge that don't give off a happy or positive feeling about love.

Overall I think this is a very intriguing shot, it really makes you stop and think. I really like how long the image feels because of the lines created from the background window and streaks of rain. The coloring is very grunge and gives the photo more of an emotional feeling. I think I would be curious to see the pumpkin moved over more to the side. The lighting looks good, I really like the glow on the upper part of the background.

Nice work, I think if the challenge was something different you might have scored higher. Keep up the good ideas!

To the heart of my sunshine

"To the heart of my sunshine" is a good photo for the Love II challenge. You have defiantly met the challenge here.

The image draws you in because of the very bright colors. I think you did a really good job of setting up this piece, I really like the balance you were able to create by off setting the plates. The lighting seems a little bit strong, but I bet it was challenging trying not to cast shadows from the chocolates. I would also recommend in the upper right hand corner getting the table cloth or material straighten, the wrinkles take away from the overall effect. I think the way you cropped the shot works really well for this piece. I really like that it is square.

Overall you did a very nice job giving us a bright photo that draws in the eye. I look forward to your future challenges!

I Do

"I do" is a great entry into the Love II challenge. I think you did a good job of picking a pretty universal subject that we can all understand without explaining.

The focus is really good, I really like that the focus is clear and clean on the subject and you were able to create such a soft feeling around the edges. The lighting is nice, it is not over bearing.

This is a very good job especially for your first challenge. I really think you already ahead of the curve in finding subjects that appeal to the viewers. Nice work.

My Love

"My love" defiantly displays a common love that we all have, which makes it a good subject for the challenge.

I think you did a good jobs of using three objects to a create a good balance. I wonder if maybe we change the composition around it would have helped the score. Like possible shooting from the floor at that very low angle. Then maybe change the placement of the subject to give them some sort of shape, like having the lines of the laptop and cigarette run parallel or something. I think it is really hard to give idea without playing with the objects. Also the lighting seems a little harsh and blown out on the laptop screen. You might try adjust the contrast some to give the shot a little more depth.

Overall I think you touched on a great love that we all have and best of luck in your future challenges.

Rainbow walkway

Wow how did I get so lucky! I was just glancing through the Street Challenge top photos and just loved this one because the colors really allowed it to stand out. Congratulations!

Well obviously I really think "Rainbow walkway" is an excellent choice for this challenge. The image really grabs the viewer between the vibrant colors and striking lines. I think the best thing is how natural this looks, I can see people spending several hours trying to achieve something like this.

I was looking over the comments and honestly I can see the suggestions that were made but I really don't think it would have changed my vote. This is just an awesome shot! Congrats again!!

"The watcher" is a very cool shot for the Street Photography challenge. Excellent choice shooting in black and white. Looking at the other two photos that you have posted I would agree with you and say this was the best choice for the challenge.

I really like the length that you were able to create with the architecture. I think it is really cool how the patio is breaking up the levels of the building. The lighting looks pretty good, I am sure you were not able to avoid the building shadow that is cast across the frame. I would be curious to see the shot if we were able to increase the contrast a little bit. Overall I think you did an excellent job, especially in finding a subject that is a little different from everyone else's. Nice work!
