A Sophisticated Shape

Comment:
Nice -- very pretty. The horizontal line of reflection in the glass is a wee bit distracting. I love the surface fading into the background -- it looks professional.

All the Tea

Comment:
I see several partial shapes but none that stand out. This is a pretty image, but I don't see the connection to this particular challenge.

Crowded Marbles

Comment:
Pretty glow effect to the marbles, but the strip of reflection in each (fluorescent light?) and the noise in the image both detract a bit from it.

Potholes
by RolandB

Comment:
It's ideal (but sometimes, um, challenging) to use a challenge to find a reason to take a photo that is worthwhile and compelling on its own merits, not simply because it meets the challenge. Your potholes are interestingly-shaped, but in a year will you look at this photograph and say, 'I'm glad I took that'? I say this in all kindness and humility, because it's an epiphany I had myself at this site only very recently.

Beautiful Shape of a far past Christmas

Comment:
The subject of the photo is pretty, but the lighting is more attention-grabbing than the shape, which is perhaps rather ornate for this challenge, in my opinion.

A Shape Within A Shape

Comment:
This is an interesting object, but perhaps a slightly dull photograph. Nice background, distracting shadow. Good focus and light.

Do you suck them very slowly?

Comment:
It's the colors more than the shapes that stand out to me here. The colors ARE great, but I'm not sure how I like the mirror image concept.

heart full of carnations

Comment:
I like the suggestion of the heart shape in the carnations' arrangement, but the cutout shape seems maybe a bit... dated? to me. Pretty idea, though.

I like this. Nice focus, nice light, good tones.

Sphere of Happiness

Comment:
The object in the person's hand is about the last thing my eyes settle on in this image. It's a nice photograph of a person -- lots of life -- but for this particular challenge I think it falls a bit short. 5.
