Very intriguing photo. It really plays with the timelessness of black and white.

You're very brave to submit this :). I'm sure a lot of people are offended by a bit of masculine pubic hair, but I think it's neat. If you hadn't compressed the image too much, and had more contrast, it would be quite a good photo in my opinion.

Some great detail and shapes to look at here, but the depth of field is distracting. It doesn't really seem to add depth, it just creates a strange distortion.

Pool of Reflection

Very, very pretty, but another photo (I've found 3 now) that uses way too much compression - 33kb out of the 150kb you're allowed to use! It leads to a degraded picture quality that I'm sure you're getting lots of comments about.

I think you captured a really nice scene here.

Candles

Comment:
The light from the candle flames and the shadows of the candle sticks aren't being used effectively in this photo. A good comparison would be with the "Cleopatra's vase" photo in this challenge, where the shadow is used very dramatically. A similar effect would work will with these lovely objects. The work well with black and white, that's for sure.

Timeless Memorial

Hmm... not being American I don't know what/where this memorial is, or what it signifies. I like the clouds in the sky, and the sundial, but that little flag peeking up at the bottom of the photo is a bit odd. I think the photo could have been framed in a stronger way.

Very sweet, but too dark.
