This is an interesting shot with a bit of an abstract twist... The candy dish is quite colorful :) - setzler

Excellent lighting and lines. Took me a second to realize that under there is a car! This is so near perfect! I can even make out the ice crystals in the snow. Well done! Worthy of a win!

Slightly uncentered. Nice piece, but it doesn't make a very effective picture, at least in the context of this photograph.

This is a fun idea, but the focus seems to be more on the gorgeous bowl than the candy. I think this would have more impact in a plain bowl. - Great idea though! You made me hungry!

Composition-Content
Really great idea and composition, the person seems to be "hiding" in a good place as far as rule of thirds, but perhaps it is a little obvious, maybe if he could have been hidden a bit more...

Technical
Great focus, overall good quality. i think that the lighting is a little harsh, the details of the golf balls have been lost, perhaps toning it down a bit would have been good. However the overall lighting is even. The main thing about this shot, is the border, just too bright! I know that you had lots of comments about it, I don't think you lose points over it, but a simple black border, with perhaps a tiny yellow one inside would have been good.

My Opinion
I think that your composition and idea are great, it is eye-catching and original. Personally, I am not a golf fan, so it doesn't really appeal to me but it is colourful and meets the challenge well. Good Luck in the next challenge.

An unusual sine wave and the ball is changing numbers too. Clever.

Nice abstarct. Optical effect works. My main comment is just the background is supposed to be black: one, it hides the shadow, and two, it creates depth.

WOW - how long did this take to set up? It's fantastic. I love how you have chosen lines to create this effective image. It has it all - colour, composition, design. Excellent job and great choice of subject. GL.
