Curves

Cropped tighter, the curves, gradients and reflections might make for a very interesting shot. Cropped this way, I feel like I'm flipping through a catalog picking out a coffee mug to print my logo on. Good luck.

Aubergine and Garlic

Comment:
So rare to see an actual still life in a challenge. Interesting composition. Lighting could use a bit of work, and you might have made something in there that is purple a bit more prominent. Good luck.

Indigo Impressions

nice colors, good concept. Would work a lot better if the reflection were a bit more out of focus so that the foreground object really had a chance to jump out. I also think it would increase the moodiness of the shot overall. nice work and a unique entry.

Pure Morning Days Dawning

Comment:
This shot is very appealing up to the point where the nice purple shades fade into a very unnatural looking blue. A tighter crop, with less ground beneath and lopping off the top where the clouds end would work much better. Good luck.

A Beautiful "Good Morning"
by TristeLeucosia

Comment:
Looks pink to me. Setting that aside, portions of the main flower are overexposed. Consider a different composition as well. Something that gives the eye something to lock on to or things to move the eye around. This appears as a mash of pink and green locked in by black. Oddly enough, I do see a couple of spots of purple back in those shadows. Good luck.

Turn off the datestamp. As you're headed for DQ, I'll just offer that you could back off the sharpening quite a bit. Good luck.

Lone Berry
by Kelli

Comment:
The purple berry, presumably your subject, might work just a bit better had you moved over to the side it is on and then taken the photo. As it is, there is this large, red, out of focus branch in the way with a little bit of a berry trying to make an appearance behind it. Good luck.

Hosta Bloom (with ants)
by fordmanf1

Comment:
Looks like you were trying to focus on the ants? Not sure, but pretty much everything in this shot is out of focus with the exception of the white things jutting out of the flower. At least the flower with the ants on it should be in focus and draw the eye in. At the same time, there is a lot of detail to be mad eout in the background which makes for a cluttered composition. Good luck.

Sacred Sky

Comment:
Nice idea, composition needs some work. Rotate it so either the horizon or the horizontal bar of the cross is level. Scoot over a little and shoot it so there isn't that little bit of tree branch nudging its way in on the upper right. Maybe shoot from just a bit higher? Overall not bad, but really has a lot of potential to be even better.

Shades
by parrothead

Comment:
This doesn't work for me. Great looking girl, great crop, well shot - then you colored her purple. It's just unsettling. Lips, fingernails, sunglasses - little bits and pieces purple would have worked well but the whole thing inked out in shades of purple just isn't doing it for me. Nice concept though. Good luck.
