Very original concept. A tighter crop might have put the focus a little more on the surfers.

And to think I used to be this crazy when I lived in So. California. Nice meeting of challenge, and certainly an unusual image of surfers.

nice action shot. i think it would be even better if the colors weren't so muted looking. everything in the shot is sorta grayish.

Nice composition and lines, but the colors are very dull.

Pewterful Curves

Greetings from the critique club

Very nice product shot.

You obviously have a strong understanding of the technical aspects of glare reduction. There is just enough bright light to highlight the curves of these elegent jugs.

Using two accents the shape and repetion is a wonderful way to strengthen the theme.

I do question the choice of background colour. I may have chosen one that created a stronger contrast. That would have made the jugs stand out more.

Excellent photo. Congratulations.

Soup - A Simple Saturday Snack

Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge. While the basic subject, soup, would fit the challenge well, for me this photograph is too busy to say "simplicity". Exposure composition focus lighting all good.

Personal: Wow, that soup looks *really* unappetizing to me. And near the spoon, is that blue from the handle bleeding into the soup itself??

My vote: 4
