Great closeup of the baseball and gloves. Love the sephia tone, it really makes this composition moody. The dirty really helps to give the leather a worn feeling. I can really see this hanging inside the headquarters of Wilson. "10'

Upward Spiral

Very interesting composition with the spiral line of the cylinder. It makes your eyes follow it all the way toward the center where the light is. Looks like the looking through a toilet paper/towel tube. Great textures captured of the cardboard. "10"

Great capture of an everyday item. Lighting is what makes this a nice simple composition. The thumbnail looks like a keyhole on a lock.Beautiful gradations of tone on the cans top. Good contrast on a B&W will usually receive bonus points from me, also good graphic images. "9" or "10", but probably a "10".

The angle chosen really helps to give a dramatic effect. Monotoned color really emphasized this. Lighting is really good. helps to bring out the highlights and shadows to create a great composition. "10"

Uneasy Truce

The composition gives a great sense of yin yang. The water meeting the land. The diagonal cropping really helps to give this feeling. Also the contrast of the blacks on the land and the whiteness of the water foam helps.

The smoothnes of the water makes it look like the boat is actually in the clouds and floating in the sky. The soft contrast gives a heavenly appearance. "10"

Interesting abstract shot of a building. Pulling out the shot and making it wider would give a refrence point and make the shot more interesting.

rose in b&w

Interesting take on the regular red rose. I like the diagonal compostion of the rose really makes it dynamic and interesting. The lighting helps to bring forth the soft texture of the rose petals. Contrast helps not to really give great details but helps to give you the form of the rose itself. This keeps it nice and simple. "9"

Zip

The diagonal setup of the composition really helps to make this an interesting composition. The closeup is great. Love the way you have the lighting. The shadows and highlights really bring out the textures in the weave of the cloth and the smoothness of the metallic zipper. "8"
