Lights Out

Arguably more about the presentation than the photograph, which I'm sure will hurt your score here. Tonality of the lampshade itself is very well done, great movement in the shading, though personally I would have tried to take it a little further, or perhaps even to lose the stalk and switch, so that the black point could be set even darker and emphasise more that shading. Not an easy subject to get so clean - especially shot in natural light (the rflections in the light-bulb are pretty revealing)

Very well set up. Not really a big fan of setups, but this is well done. 7

I can visualize this wonderful image on a cover of a chess magazine! :-) Any more contrast and it'd fool people into thinking that this was a graphic illustration instead of a photograph. Very cool! I like how the black curve overlaps the white curve. That caught my eye and added some 'flavor' to the picture. Both curves could've been just a wee bit smoother and more exaggerated, but that's just me. Kudos!

Definitely an interesting variation off the chess theme, which seemed to be quite popular. I do like this shot, nice job!

Nice idea for this challenge. I'd actually hang this photo on my wall it's so pleasing to the eye!

Beautiful, interesting, and just plain neat! The corpping on the top and bottom are too tight. I'd like those areas to come to a point as well. The center curvers don't meet perfectly, but I'm just nit picking now...9.
