This one was tough for me. I'll admit I gave it a 4. :( My feeling was this shot was in a grayzone between an abstract and a still life. It didn't know which it wanted to be and thus didn't manage to become either very well.

Technicals are not bad. The blueberries are a bit rough, both blown on the right and in shadow on the left. Also a bit harsh on the apple.

I did like the idea of the reflection. It does make for a nice symmetry (yet the shadows make it asymmetrical, a nice effect). Looking at your outtakes, I like the idea of really messing with the colors. You did some nice stuff there. The yellow/purple or blue/green would have likely gotten a 6 from me and there is a world of difference between a 4 and a 6.

Keep it up. You've been shooting quite well as of late.

Woohoo, there she is! Sooo cute. If I didn't have two and a half kitties, I might come steal her. Hell, I might anyway. :) I love the combination of the bright blue eyes and the soft gray fur.

Very pretty and understated, the best kind of photograph. The bokeh is very cool; the contrast between the vine and the metal wire is excellent.
