My Thoughts

The photo is too small to judge fairly, but my impression is that you snuck up behind a stranger and snapped his photo without concern for camera settings. One quick improvement might be to get down lower so it doesn't look like you are standing over him in a tourist stance.

Hmmm, sorry to give this such a low score, but it is out of focus, the ceiling light is over-exposed, and the tilted composition serves no purpose. Doesn't fit the challenge, either, does it?

I give this a low score because it does make me want to know what is going on here, but really, it's a murky photo with odd specs of light here and there.

Sorry, a low score from me. The plastic is harshly lit and ugly -- is it all plastic? I guess that's a chopstick, but it looks like a dental implement. Apparently photographed with little care.

Clictacamera, do you and user Donald (Langdon's breath taking) live near the same bakery? ;-)

If it's any consolation (and no offense to Donald), your photo got a higher vote from me.

Good sharpness, really demonstrates the stillness.

Very colorful. This has a great candid feel to it; I wish both eyes were in focus, but somehow it works for me.

eyes that warm to you

This has a natural softness I really like. I suppose the cat's eyes could glow more, but they stand out well enough. Great rug background, too.

Red and Yellow

I believe you about the red and yellow, though I wish the two colors were apparent visually. Still, this gets a good vote from me. The bright web of veins against the black background looks great. Good sharpness, too.

I love how the flowers glow, especially the top one which seems like a flame. Nice composition, good clarity, I'm only slightly disappointed by the green in the middle, I'm wondering if it could be less focussed or maybe a bit dimmer (or maybe I just don't like the shade of green). Nevertheless a high score from me. Good luck!
