Strong lines, good use of DOF, and I like the simplicity of the color scheme.

Ha! Love the concept. I tend to prefer B&W shots to be higher contrast, but you made me grin, so that's a job well done.

The image itself is just about flawless, as far as I can see, and I like the way the juxtaposition with the title produces the feeling of a knowing grin. Well done.

Great concept, great lighting, excellent composition. I wish the whisk were more in focus, but I know how hard these kinds of captures are. Very well done.

Don't look a Giraffe in the Mouth
by KristinaG

Comment:
Cute idea, but the shot itself is a little bland. Some other ideas to execute on the concept: actually looking into a giraffe's open mouth, a wide-angle shot of a giraffe trying to lick the camera, etc. I know these aren't easy shots to get, but the thing is that this shot could be any old snapshot from a trip to the zoo.

I like the rim lighting and the expression on her face. The aperture seems very well chosen to keep both her face and the cake relatively sharp while blurring her shoulders more. I think her face could be brighter, and the thing on the left (can't tell if it's a chair or maybe a low-hanging picture frame or what) shouldn't be there.

"Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink"
by Lutchenko

Comment:
I like the lighting, sharpness, and the use of black to frame the subjects. I don't think it works well conceptually, though, because the image itself seems to speak more about dirtiness and the sort of animalistic sensuality connoted by it than it does about water.

Nice dramatic light, which does give it that creepy feel you're going for. I feel like there should be another element in the photo to raise the stakes as far as the scene is concerned.

What you sew you shall also rip

This isn't a technically perfect image, but I find it compelling all the same. I love the expression on her face, how it really communicates the feeling of frustration and determination. And I like the way her hands look purposeful. Technique-wise, I think her face should be lit better and the background should either be darker or blurred out with a wider aperture. So, well done on the subject and story, and keep at it with the technique.

No man is an eyelash

Not sure about this. The whole thing is a little too dim and soft to give much idea about why it's important to see what's in the image, but at the same time the basket is too recognizable for this to work as an abstract. I also don't get what it has to do with the title.
