this is an interesting scene, but the yellow tint may be 'fixable' with some white balance adjustments in your camera... - setzler

Hi Geocide...

This is an excellent color shot... I really like the abstract nature of it. It took me a while to figure out what I was looking at translucent and colored CD cases...

I read through all your 'nice job' comments :) No one really wanted to step up to the plate for you on the comments this week...

Compositionally, I think you could have created a higher impact by going with a square frame rather than rectangluar. Why? Because the 'centered' composition can be a little awkward sometimes. I believe that when you have an image such as this one, using a square frame with less empty space on both sides works better. Your image is still centered, but it doesn't really jump up and scream 'centered orientation' when it's in a tighter square area.

Keep up the good work :)

Lemon Meringue Pi

Hi Shareinnc...

This was a tough challenge. I think you did an acceptable job of relating the theme of "Pi" by doing your measure of the radius of the lemon slice...

The composition on this photo is also good... positioning the lemons on the left of the frame and using the ruler as a leading line works very well.

The exposure on this image is where the problem lies. It appears that it's simply overexposed. I don't know much about the camera you are using so i couldn't suggest exposure alterations unless it has fully manual control. What looks like over exposure could also be a difference in your monitor and mine. If your monitor is way out of calibration, you may have increased the brightness on this image to a level that is too high on a calibrated monitor.
