Very nice - strong colours and shapes. Well lit and shot.

This is all out of focus (as if you haven't been told by now). It's the golden rule really, so next time try shooting further out if the range is beyond your camera, and use directional light to avoid the face-on glare from your light source. Good strong lights are always a much better substitute for flash.

As a subject, this is really not going to interest anyone so a dose of creativity would be recommended for your next challenge! Try looking at anything from a fresh perspective, very closely and you're sure to find some interest in it - more so than just depicting the camera itself.

Nicely observed - cute! I'd have cropped off the bottom third to retain the illusion a little more and would have enabled you to enlarge the view. Good light and DOF.

Beautifully shot. Excellent light and DOF, this has a tangible, silky feel to it.

Beauuutiful colour and satisfyingly crisp subject. Any opponents of flower shots should be silnced by this one! Love it and no reason not to award top marks - aprat from the slight criticism of crop (positioning) - less top and more bottom would be good, so [9]

A Natural Twist

Striking shape (clematis?) and well composed, but this really needed to be sharp with full DOF as the furthest part of the subject is as interesting as the nearest.

Good idea, nice subject, excellent low-sat colours and good design. It's a tad too sharp but the overex. is good. Shadow on circuit board is a bit to heavy.

faceoff

Comment:
Lighting effect has been lost due to the face-on lighting on the mask. This needed some directional lighting from left only to pick up feature lines but leaving the glow from the eyes to be more atmospheric. This said - I'm not really sure what you're trying to achieve.

Nice composition and colour. Less noise would be good but I like the lighting and design in this,.
