I have been waiting several days to post a comment on this photo... It's my favorite photo of the challenge and I can't really put my finger on WHY. I believe it's in the simplicity of the image. The monochromatic theme... the square frame with the abstract distortion in the mirror. All I can say is 'excellent work' :) = 10

i can't say much about this shot other than 'phenomenal'. I love the motion here and you captured it at the perfect time it seems. That motion seems to create a beautiful sense of surrealism and 'ghostliness' in this photo... great shot and one of my favs this week :) = 10

This is gorgeous... I think you nailed the exposure on this shot.. i can still see detail inside the bowl. The simplicity of the subject in this photo is definitely one of the strong points of the shot... great work.. = 10

The concept behind this photo is quite strong and the idea is good. I don't traditionally thing of golf balls as having a yellow tint. This is probalby cause by white balance issues and could be corrected rather easily also. This image should probably also be sharp instead of out of focus. I can't see how the choice to make this soft focus is really helping the image.

Interesting photo and poor title. "Pandering" in the title is sure to get you in trouble. I think this is the beginning of a good photo. The lighting isn't working.. looks like an on cam flash probably. Natural lighting may not have been possible, and if so, maybe a different subject choice would have worked out better for you...

This is a beautiful photo... I really don't like the title though... I feel like you are trying to tell me how the photo meets the challenge when it meets it very clearly to me...

excellent job with the lighting in this shot... the 'definitions' are nicely highlighted and the texture created by that works well. I'm wondering if a stronger 'diagonal' theme with the arms woudl also work nicely in this shot.

I hate it when this situation comes up for me... To me, this is what i would call 'digital art' moreso than photography. Normally, I don't care much for digital art, but it's probably because I'm simply more of a 'purist' photographer. I have always been one who looks for the photographic quality and themes when judging an image on this site. I must say that this is one of the first images I have seen that really falls into the digital art category for me that I'm really impressed by overall. I'm assuming that this is a composite image simply because I don't see (easily) any other way to do it. What I also see here is some very creative use/combination of photography and digital art to create your 'vision' for this piece. I'm impressed and moved by this image at the same time. Kudos on some good work :) = 10
