I think this photo is quite interesting but it's over my head. I don't understand the tie-in to the challenge at all.

This is a particularly interesting photo. I really like the detail. I'm struggling with the 'contrast' theme. I'm assuming that the contrast you are trying to show here is 'plant / animal' possibly. This is a valid contrast, but the all-green nature of the photo itself seems to overpower any theme of 'contrast' that you may be trying to convey with this photo. If I was viewing this photo outside the context of this particular challenge, 'contrast' would be one of the very last things that came to mind if I was asked to describe the theme of this photo.

Girlhood to Womanhood

I think this is in very poor taste. Now that i'm over the 'poor taste' factor involved in this photo, I should probably discuss the photograph itself... Compositionally, it's fine.. the only element of the composition that I don't care for is the feeling that the bear is floating is space with no visible surface... Technically, I don't like the yellow tungsten glow on this one... i don't know if that was intentional or not, but it can easily be corrected or shifted with white balance adjustents in cam or with software in post processing...

I love this shot... I have been holding off on a comment because I have been spending a lot of time looking at it. The round faces definitely bring you into the challenge theme very easily. The facial expression begs me to wonder what they are looking at... that being said, this makes a great 'unanswered questions' photo too :) Excellent composition and great idea for the challenge :) = 10

Sphere

great work with the color and light on this photo... it's very.. umm... 'scab-esque' :) The texture on the left side of the sphere seems to be maybe a tad 'oversharp' but I'm not entirely sure of that... excellent work :)

Japan's Obsession
by joannadiva

Comment:
This is a really neat photo for sure... The similarity to the Japanese flag and the tie in with the obsession with golf there is a really unique and appealing thought for this photograph. The only area for improvement I can see in this photo would be an attempt to even out the lighting on the background and get it as close to white as possible for even more impact. Great shot...
