Wonderful lighting for sure - you've got great contrast and a nice reflection.

Originally posted by klstover: The background and the box looking thing blend together just a tad bit too much for my tastes. I would not mind as much if the rest of the image did not present a hugely wonderful "textures!" feel. It just seems that the blending on the left side does not match the awesome textures of the rest of the shot. Composition is really awesome. I like the shadow under the bottom circle. Gives it more of a 3-D feel than I think it would have otherwise.

I think she has that spot on for me too. The textures in the background just dont seem to be the right compliment. But the textures, detail and shadows on the thingee you caught very well.

This is a pure Melethia shot. Simple but well thought out composition. You have a great eye for natural lines and patterns found in the everyday world. I wouldnt do anythign to the editing. Nice colors, cool shadows, perfect crop (did you crop at all?). I am not sure if I am digging the inner border color or the off whiteness to the rest of the border, but I only mention it since you asked for editing tips. It is a minor point at best and probably just my personal taste.

I love this shot Deb. Great composition, the ripples are cool and you placed the duckies just right in the shot. This is a very cool image.

I wasnt quite sure what the dog was at first either. Almost looked like som efunky stuffed animal or something until I realized what the doggie was doing. And then the kid in me came out "snicker snicker - he's peein'". Great catch.

Great combination of realism/"non-staged-ness" and "perfect". Would make a great advertisement.

What?? a score under 6?? that's just wrong!! this should have been top ten!! I think this is just too cool!! The reflection, the concept, the lighting...well congrats on the high 5 score but, it should have been a 6 at least...

Every thing about this image says it should have scored higher,the reflection light & contrast all work well, voters don't spend the time to look at a photo. Congratulations on the strong finish.
