Hi Tom...

This is a nicely done image. The color, contrast, and sharpness lend well to the simplicity and minimalism theme. The only 'glitch' I can see in the photo is a compositional issue. This flower is facing out of the frame to the left, which is fine, but the flower should possibly be on the right side of the frame in this case. Imagine that its a person rather than a flower. You would want the empty space between the person and the direction he/she is facing... just some food for thought :)

I don't do in-depth critiques on images where the photographer didn't bother to leave any of his/her own thougths... better luck next time...

Hi Buzzmom...

You didn't bother to leave any of your own thoughts on this image, so I won't spend much time with an in-depth critique on it. In a nutshell, your subject is out of focus, which simply doesn't work.

Hi Coley...

This is a really nice image IMO. I feel the same way you do about some things. I see things daily that inspire me in some way or another and I occasionally make a photo, as you have done here. The one thing you may want to consider here is going black and white. There is very little color in the photo and it doesn't really seem to be enhancing the image, so removing it could make it stronger... excellent work :)

Hi Long...

This photo meets the challenge but it seems rather boring to look at. The light is actually drawing my eye away from your subject rather than bringing me to it. You didn't include any of your own thoughts, so I can't offer you much more than that...

Hi SiRa...

Since you didn't include any of your own thoughts on this image, I can't offer you much. I don't think the photo meets the challenge though. It's a dual subject image where one item is quite larger than the other. It is an interesting photo but probably not so much in the context of this challenge...

Dali's Earrings

Hi Labuda...

The composition, lighting, and exposure here are all excellent. The dark reflective surface does work nicely and it was a good choice for this image. I can't really suggest much for improvement. I do enjoy nice black and white images, but this image may have a higher level of impact in color. If these earrings are gold or silver, a dark colored (even black would work) surface behind them could raise the interest level significantly...

Excellent work...

Hi Ruedischmutz...

My personal thoughts on this image as an advertisement are that there are too many contrasts in the image and your subject blends into the environment a little too much. The objects that you place with a subject in a photo like this need to contribute to the subject in some way, and I can't seem to determine how the glass plays a supporting role in this photo. The black/white contrast from your surface also creates a strong 'pull' away from the subject of the photo.
