Not very appealing. Is that your dogs blanket too?

some kind of 0900 server error here; my critique is posted below but the fact hasn't registered with the site. Not only are you dead last yet again, you get another comment simply to get this image off my screen!

What is there to say? You have evidently achieved pretty much what you set out to here, with the added masterstroke of making the cyrillic script just recognisable enough through the haze of the focus to put off even those english monoglots that might have hung around long enough to find anything in the image.

I don't think though that this one was oarticularly challenging - it's easy enough, simplky by taking an out of focus shot with nothing to do with the challenge, to achieve last place, no? I'd be more intrigued to see if it can be done with a shot that 'meets the challenge', as the saying has it.

All the best

The lighting on this is too harsh. If you used a different light source and longer exposure it would help. I also think a different perspective would help. This stright down view doesn't give the picture any depth. Finially, the bacgound should have been cleaned up. The dirt is distracting.

This doesn't present anythong to grab my attention. The bounceback from the flash is distracting, too.

Originally posted by gjumi: 3 I don't understand it - what does this has to do with any of the sins? Why you have such harsh transition from overexposed flower to a very dark background, whatever that is? Why the photo is not in focus?

Now I think I do...

I think you may should have adjusted the flash at a bit more of an angle. Too much glare on the mouse...distracting
