A penny for your thoughts

To me, this is the equivalent of a thought as expressed via text message. Fragments not worth the full "OMG, no way?"

I'm curious how you broke the penny.

Crop is good, lighting is good, concept is good. Formally a bit plain/not exciting. Ol' Abe seems to be leaning backwards slightly, which is making the OCD in me twitch a little bit. Overall a 6 from me.

Nice shot. The black edges seem so dense, is there a way to thin those down a bit with your lighting? The water on the background pulls me out of the effect a bit, it highlights the scale difference, and makes it seem more unrealistic. I would also try this with green instead of the pink, might come off as more 'natural' or outdoorsy. Solid 7 from me.

Lovely tones, grains and texture. I find the composition to be a bit haphazard, the framing seems a bit close, and the slight angle of the filter bothers me. Conceptually, it seems simple, especially with only 3 elements (and a weird handle) in the frame. 6

dang, that copper really glows, huh? The light looks good on the screws as well. I wish the white plastic looked better, it seems so dull.

The metallic tones in this are nice, I like the surface imperfections (granite?) as well. the highlight on the spigot is a bit strange, almost glowing.

No wonder it was so slow

at first I thought the bottle was pepper when I read the title.

It feels a bit busy overall to me, I don't really know where to focus, or which lines to follow.

I think I lived in that apartment when I was younger. Boy was that place cramped. Does it give more of a cityscape feeling in b/w or sepia tone?

It's messy. So many pieces crammed into that little space, huh?

My biggest gripe here is the bottom horizon being so unordered angled/tilted. It's a tight crop, almost feels accidental. I think cropping more would be the answer. I would try 20px on each side (30 on the top) and see if that helps to make it more dynamic.

Summer skating

Summer doesn't usually make me think of green. Can you warm the color up a bit?

- Beautiful texture, light, DOF and charisma. Makes me miss my skating days. At this point, it's my challenge winner. 9

It's a beautiful shot... but I don't understand at all what water drops have to do with an image being disassembled, so in that sense, it seems kind of gimmicky. If you're adding this to a portfolio, the bottom left corner shows some excess water drops.
