Faux Beauty

Not exactly a "light" on white, but effective. Interesting how the lit part of the face is to the outside of the photo. I think it's a good choice, I've been imagining it with the light side to the inside (negative space to the left) and it looks less powerful, less graphic. ~8

Beautiful shadows. At first I thought, where was he/she when this image was made. Then I thought, a bridge! Maybe, or a hill. Hmmm. I like it how the shapes seem to almost swirl around the large tree trunk/shadow diagonal. ~6

Top marks for punniest entry! Now EAT IT! Unfortunately for you, the blue cast on top of the sandwich makes it look mouldy. ~4

Beautiful composition. Your score with this image will probably suffer because the background is not white, but a pinkish tone. ~7

My Daughter's Passion II

Very nice. It's good to see a disorganized grouping of pencils :) When first looking at this I thought, but it would be nice if the pencils were all sharp and maybe turned the same way (no lettering). Then I thought, no, this is much more natural. Technically excellent (the whites and the soft colours and hinted shadows). ~8

On a rising arc

Beautifully done. It's so interesting what all can be done with closeup and perspective (don't know what to call it), but the flowers look HUGE in relation to the vase, yet the was has to be bigger than the flowers (at least lenghtwise for the vase, across for the flowers). Hmmmm. Love the pinks and orange/yellows, so soft. One of my favourites. ~10

I like the concept and the general composition of this image, and it meets the challenge well. It's beautiful actually. What bothers me is that it looks like it's just floating there, no grounding. ~8
