Congratulations on using a 'different egg' for your shot!
This image is nicely focused and bright and colourful, but I think I would have prefered a different crop, perhaps one not showing any background to create a black, orange and white abstract.
Your lighting is very good as all the colours have come out even, with no flare anywhere.
Well done!

Humpty Dumpty on the wall

Congratulations on an interesting image, that has made excellent use of diagonals! I think that using black and white has made the image more moody and interesting! One can really feel the precariousness of the egg! I dont feel that the soft focus of the background detracts from this image, rather it adds to it! It makes me feel that Humpty is wobbling on the wall!
Well done.

Congratulations on a realy good leading lines shot!
Your camera's metering has been fooled a little by the white snow and the black dog, but not enough to detract from the image. I like the way you have composed this image with the logs leading the eye diagonally across the image to the dog. I think that you may have used a little too much sharpening, but once again not enough to detract!
What more can I say but well done and keep it up!

Reflections on a Canal

Definitely meets the challenge of leading lines. I like the way that the black and white creates the mood of a moist and misty day. The focus is a little soft but this is not necessarily a bad thing with a scene like this as it adds to the mood. I like the reflections in the canal!
I don't feel a different angle is needed to 'improve' this shot, but could perhaps give you another shot with a different viewpoint.
Good luck with future challenges!

Composition: Lovely Photo! Good idea, but a little too posed for my idea of despair!
The black and white format is perfect for this image though.
Kate reminds of the little match Girl of the fairy tales.
Exposure: It could be a little more contrasty it is leaning a little toward being overexposed.
I am also surprised that this didn't place a bit higher! Keep up the good work!

What a lovely old house! Congratulations on seeing the potential of this old house and on seeing the other side of despair Hope!
Composition:Generally good but the house is tilted a little so it looks like it is tipping over.
Focus: A little soft, but not sobad that it spoils the image. It looks like you were shooting in very poor light.
To me the bright splash of the yellow daffodils is the Hope in your title.
Keep shooting You have a good eye and creative imagination The technicallities will come with practice.

Congratulations on a very good composition. You have handled the technicalities of a creating this type of image very well!
Focus: excellent for such a long exposure. I take it you used a tripod.
Colour: Black and white was a very good choice, colour would have been too distracting in this image.
Exposure: Very good.
I am actually surprised that this image didn't place higher, perhaps it was just too subtle for some of the voters.

This is a nice photograph which unfortunately doesn't really meet the challenge of despair. Unless it is the despair of the mother of the child who owned the bear's empty nest syndrome!
Focus excellent. Composition good but I think it would have been better if the bear had been lying down in a sort of abandoned position!
Exposure The bear is slightly over exposed.
But all in all a nice try and a bit more subtle than all the staged suicides.

Firstly let me congratulate you on this image it was one of myfavorites of the rhythm challenge!
The composition is excellent, the contrast and depth of field are great!
Your lighting and focus are very hard to fault! The coppery colour of the strings fading off into the distance is great. All in all a Wow! All I can say is keep up the good work! A question do you play the guitar as well as you photograph them!

Composition
The subject is so easy to identify that you can almost taste and smell it!
The framing and focus are excellent and the shallow depth of field is a perfect choice for this image. The only quibble I have with this image is that I would have prefered the focus to be on the pineapple rather than the fork!
Also the pineapple on the fork and the background pieces are blending into each other.
But this is overall an excellent image that definitely meets the yellow challenge.
