yikes! - a little graphic for my taste, but pretty well done technically

nice effort to show 'motion' but the pencil is blown out and seems oversharpened

I really think this could have been so much better without your hand in the way

i love the use of the black, grey and white pencils to extend the metaphor - very creative shot!

Take Out #2

Comment:
very well composed image - the lighting is spot on and even though there are many other chopstick images in the challenge, this one is clearly leaps and bounds above

interesting composition but the white balance really appears to be off on this one

Birds of Prey

Good finish Chris! The focus on the eyes is really good and the composition really works. I think the only thing that could make this better is a little fix on the beaks blown out area.

This is excellent. I just love these pretty little birds. We have them flying around our house all the time, but they tend to be a little shy.

Floral Firework

Jon - I really thought this was much better than a 5.0. The sharpness was very good and the composition is solid. The background does not really add too much to the image and the lighting may have been a bit harsh on the flowers - a lot of detail is missing. All in all, though, I thought it deserved a better score and I gave it a 6.
