this is a great shot of repeating patterns for sure... excellent 'rhythm'... I believe it may be slightly oversharpened possibly... there are some 'jags' in the foreground part of the slinky that indicate this... great shot.. = 8 - setzler

Hi Jacko...

I think this is shot is very pleasing to the eye. The light seems to create a softness to the image that works very well. Coffee is a 'soothing' thing for many people. The softness of this image seems to contribute nicely to that theme. When I first saw this image, I could almost smell the coffee... This shot could easily be used for product advertisememt.

I can't really offer you any suggestions for improvement on this shot.

Keep up the good work :)

I'm glad I got this photo for a CC selection because it was one of my favorite shots in the challenge. I see pet photos here every week, but most of them are not much more than your average snapshot. The theme of the 'cliche' challenge was to photograph a common subject but turn it into a great photo.. You have done an excellent job of that with your entry.

The lighting and the shallow depth of field in this image create a very 'soft' feeling to go along with the nature of this kitten.

I don't think there is anything you could have done to improve this great shot :)

Keep up the great work :)

Hi Aurora...

The composition on this photograph is good... I like the red color of the Coke can agains the dark background. Red always stands out very nicely.

The primary problem with this photo is the focus. There is no reason that I can see for it to be out of focus. Soft focus should add some interesting element to a photograph. This photo resembles product photography like you would see in a magazine. Sharp focus should be part of this image :)

Keep up the good effort :)

excellent perspective shot... I really like the exposure effect on the lights here... it adds a 'mystical' theme to the tunnel :) - setzler

This is nice... i love architectural designs and the perspective here is excellent. I believe the blue may be a bit oversaturated.. it seems a little uneven.. not sure if that is from a saturation or a level adjustment... excellent shot :) - setzler
