I really like the macro effect of this shot. I think the large amount of blur in the knife detracts from the power of the rest of the shot. I am impressed with the DOF on this shot. Great subject for the challenge.

Slightly too high key for me. I like the model's pose and expression - unique and interesting.

This is a really well done shot of a bloom. You've hit the DOF well.

Nice unusual flower. It could have been real easy to blow out the whites. You didn't and this works well.

A nice avant-garde approach to this challenge. Nice geometrics.

I like how the darker mottled BG enhances the colors of the flowers.

When I first looked at this image I didn't see the most fascinating part. I first saw the glass balls in a pattern on a purple BG. Upon the second viewing I noticed the fabulous combination of shadow and hot spots to the left of each ball. I think this photo could be a ten if you found a way to really make the shadow of the balls the focus of the shot - via a different pattern, perhaps?

I really like how this shot answers the challenge and is so unusual. I hope you tell us how you did this.
