Wow, trippy. maybe a bit too much going on here? Perhaps if you'd just shot the lamp by itself on a black background you'd get a better contrast.

Thank you, Melethia for your post at least there are some who have a system to their voting. I seems i me that the voting system could use some serious tweaking, I is difficult to judge all the photos and comment, as a judge I strongly believe that in the cast of voting one, two, and even 3 your owe the Photographer some kind of words direction. If it's not your taste then past it by or give a four.

This is a very difficult site sometimes, especially for newcomers. Were I to have voted this in a challenge, I would have started with a 5, as it does indeed meet the challenge and is reasonably well exposed. I can't tell if it's truly in focus or not but it's not wickedly out of focus. It appears yellow to me - but you can see from your comments that on some monitors it did not. Voters here can be very, very specific and picky. Your best bet, challenge-wise, is to hit the challenge as dead-on as you can. I probably would not have increased my vote from a 5, though. The photo doesn't really say anything to me - if that makes sense. It's a close crop, which is OK, but it's not especially well balanced - it's just sitting there in the frame with an awkward amount of space around it. There's no context - while this sometimes will do well at DPC - ie a subject on a completely barren background, I prefer to have some sort of context involved. Keep in mind that I vote the way I vote - I certainly don't speak for the majority.

China berries are yellow, this is the way they look in winter. I though i was a great shot, i didn't think it would win, but I can see no reason for the 1's and 2's. Maybe the cropping could have been better, the lighting and focus are dead on, and it is yellow. I would love to hear why some of you thought i was "Bad".

Nice lines. The glasses feel like they are topling over for some reason. Maybe tricker of the eyes.
