Technical: fits the challenge. Exposure lighting composition focus all good.

Personal: As tempting as it was to me to take a shot like this, I chose not to because I thought it wouldn't be very compelling- and that's how I feel about this image. It's compounded by the fact that the light source is way too bright and distracting for me. I'd love to see some more imagination!

My vote: 3

The green tree against the black night is dramatic. The streetligh detracts from the picture as it draws my eye away from the tree and stars.

Reminds me very much of a video still. What an excellent and scary submission! Even the dab of compression simply adds to its quality as a spooky video capture. The girl's expression is menacingly unconcerned.

Excellent choice of background. What could have been a confusing all-in-view line of pearls have been distinctly separated by smart use of aperture. Even the twinkly colours all round the metalwork are very pleasing, complementary and not distracting.

Would rather had the cut apple wedge in focus. Took me a moment to even understand what it all was. Great idea, though.

I love the idea, would liked to have seen the piece of apple a little more in focus as it's a hard photo to look at.

I like this shot very much, but I think this may have worked better with just a little bit more depth of field - maybe enough so that more of the blade and perhaps the chunk of apple was in focus with the rest blurred. As it is, it looks more out of focus than anything else beacuse the tip of the knife is not prominent enough to stand by itself as the focus of the image. I like the composition though.

main subject is too out of focus...

A very clever play on the subject. Well conceived and executed. I like how the edje starts in focus and then blurs into the apple slice.
