Tacktful

A technical success, it's less than successful in an artistic sense. DOF control is on the edge of being good and the lighting isn't over done creating blooms. The subject is less than interesting. Perhaps a different background with a slightly different angle would have helped. A little more thought and better framing would have brought the rating higher.

Tack Balance

This is very good technically and it would have been rated as an artistic success if the author's reflection wasn't in the glass ball. That single little problem distracts the eye from the overall impact of the image in a negative way. A little more thought and better background (from the author's standpoint) would have made this a top ten image and a potential ribbon winner.

Another clever image completely misinterpreted by this reviewer when the first rating run through was completed. On comment review, the humor jumped out and reasserted itself positively. This is one of those images that require some thought when viewing to catch the author's intent. Excellant DOF control, sharp and crip where needed, this was originally rated a seven and has been uprated to a 9. A technical and artistic success.
