Reflected Shapes

With so much competing for the eye's attention, the reflected shapes unfortunately don't stand out very much. A far tighter crop might have been better for this particular challenge, although overall this is a very pleasing and visually interesting shot. 7

Nice abstract.

A Friend's Eye

This is a classic macro shot. I do wish the top of his eye and upper lashes weren't cut off, though. Good reflection in the eye, and nice lighting.

wow. Striking. Great symmetry.

Curves

Simple. I like it. The only issues are the highlight on the table surface on the left-hand side and the line of table edge (?) that goes diagonally across the frame. But this is a very good idea, and I love the shadows on the bowl itself.

Oh dear. It's a shame it's not in focus and the image looks a little pixelated. People will be really hard on you about that and some of them can be pretty mean (trust me I KNOW on this. I don't remember if I'm anonymous or not. If I'm not, check out the 'mantis' image in my profile. oh the beating I took.). Don't let them make you give up. Keep trying. This shot had a lot of potential.

And merry (late) Christmas to you too. :)

Actually at this angle they're ellipses or ovals. ;) I like the repetition with the paint bottles, but the level of extraneous information in the shot, as well as the fact that the rims of the bowls are interrupted, makes it hard for them to stand out. Also, and this is just my personal preference, I almost never like tilted images. You'll find tastes varying on that pretty wildly. :)

If I were in this room taking a photograph to depict shapes I'd group the bottles together and shoot them from the top, with the repetition in the lids/shapes of the bottles, and then the variety in the colors. But that's me. This is your picture, and you did a fine job taking it if it's the way you like it.

This is blurry, and while I respect your artistic right to interpret the challenge as you see fit, there's no shape here that pops out at me. I do like the colors. Keep trying -- one of the best things about digital photography and this site in particular is how much we can learn in a really short time.

Well, it certainly does stand out. :) Clever!
