Spotless . . . almost

Ooo - try something with that glove for light on white. But either blur out the texture or get it razor sharp. The in-between kind-of-fuzzy kind-of-sharp is making my eyes all googly. And a single spot just isn't grabbing my interest.

It's a nice shape, but the centered composition isn't grabbing me. Also, it's not especially sharp. Did you take this without a tripod? Or maybe the autofocus went to the flame, and since it was dark, the wide aperture meant nothing else was sharp?

Outside of the challenge, I think this could be a really nice shot. Try retaking it with the candle over on the left, using a tripod, and shutting the aperture down some to get everything sharp.

Sorry - not really a pic I want to look at. Aside from that, it might have worked better cropped differently, with more space to the left and less to the right, so we have a sense of where she's looking.

Not a bad idea, but the contrast and focus are both quite low.

Ha! As a post-challenge trick, try erasing all evidence of his face. I wonder whether the spots alone would provide enough contours to tell it was a face.

Kind of dull lighting. Try enhancing the contrast.

Try enhancing the contrast. This is pretty washed out.

My favorite spot

Aside from the spots not being the main focal point, this is cropped a little too tightly and the lighting is kind of dull. Try playing with levels, curves, or even just the brightness/contrast sliders.

Can't quite put my finger on it, but this isn't drawing me in. Maybe there's not enough contrast between the leaves and the background. I don't mean in the sense of the contrast slider in a graphics program, but more the shapes. A simple spray of these spotted leaves on a plain background would've been more engaging.
