Hi Cercy...

Cats make wonderful cliche photos :) I particularly like this composition because of the nice diagonal orientation. I think the only thing that would have made this any stronger would have been to include a little 'eye' in the shot maybe... I apologize for a short critique/comment on this, but I just can't really find much more to add... I particularly like this photo and don't find much wrong with it at all :)

Keep up the great work :)

this is a lovely landscape.. the bright green and the deep blue in the sky offers a wonderful contrast in this shot.. there appears to be a small amount of noise in the sky area.. possibly from saturation... great shot :) - setzler

This is a really powerful perspective photo... I think the color in it looks a bit strange and this could possibly make a very strong black and white... the bit of red in the center is a nice element thoug.. great shot :) - setzler

The old "flower cliché"

Hi Xertion...

Flowers made a great choice for the Cliche challenge... 'Cliche' is such a dirty word.. lol.. I love flower photos and I make a few myself. I plan to make a lot more in the spring since I have a renewed interest in that particular subject.

Floating these flower blossoms in the pool was a great idea... I have seen it done before so that could possibly add to the cliche concept. Compositionally, I think this photo could have more impact if the flowers were in a diagonal orientation with each other and possibly be set against a darker background. A darker environment around the flowers would create a lot of extra contrast to make the color of the blossoms really hit hard. Having them a little closer together could also help a bit... I don't see any real advantage of having each of them clipped by the sides of the frame...

Keep up the good work :)

The perspective in this shot is strong, but the overall image is a little soft.. think a little extra sharpness would be a nice improvement :) - setzler
