As others have said, this could be more precisely level and symmetrical, but it's a unique angle on an everyday object. Good eye!

Much better without that loose eyelash! :-)

Yes, good choice of subject matter, but the colorful pin heads are the most interesting part of the photo and the focus seems to be on the edge of the clothes pin instead. May require switching from automatic focus to manual focus to overcome focussing on the closest edge.

Yes, the light is a bit harsh, but good detail, even in the shadows.

Really great! Unusual peek into the inside of the cable, with good clarity and DOF.

Nice colors, good detail. Nice story, too! It appears you have set the doll against a dark blue or black background. This should work, but I see the shadow around the doll's head. Not sure how to overcome this lighting problem when taking the photo, but you might try burning the background (somehow making it darker) to hide the shadow. Or is that going about the problem backwards? :-p

Day 4 - Seaglass

How did you do this? Did you simply place the seaglass on a blue surface? It almost looks as if the background was removed. Great detail on the seaglass. it's amazing how a teeny-tiny hair (an eyelash?) stands out!

Day 4 - Keys...

This is the place to experiment! We can try things we wouldn't do in a challenge. Having said that, though, I actually prefer the original. I think it's beautiful, especially at full size, though looking at the thumbnail I wonder if the bottom of the gold key should be cropped. Anyhow, neat abstract

I really love this one, but since you asked for criticism: vertical objects (tall buildings, pipes, etc) can be tricky. For example, in this photo I wonder if the center pipe should be the guiding vertical -- a small rotation to the left *might* be in order. Otherwise I love the grayscale and the dof. Good choice of ordinary object!

4. Poor Tildie

Looks like Tildie led a full life -- no need for tears. Photo definitely conveys the worn aspect. Good use of dof.
