Good representation of a title. I like it.

The Name Of The Rose by Umberto Eco
by Shannon

Comment:
A little dark, but I guessed the title right from looking at the picture. Is that a real rose, or is it cloth?

Wind in the Willows

Nice color, clarity and composition (the three C's?). I got the title just from looking at the shot. Good work.

Interesting shot. Looks nice, but could use a little more variety in color. Not sure that it fulfills the challenge.

I love how it looks like the pepper is bending over the small tomato. The only thing I can think of to improve the shot would be to have all the tomatoes' stems pointing up.

Apples with flower

Comment:
I love the lighting and the composition on this shot. The open flower looks like it is lit from inside, good effect. The only thing that really distracts for me is the stuff on the apples.

Great twist on the theme.

Grace Under Pressure
by drgsoell

Comment:
From reading some of the comments and seeing the 18-1’s, I guess some people were offended by my picture. While I do tend toward the irreverent, I do not intend to offend anyone with my ideas. This picture is NOT an attack on religion.

This picture is about Grace, whether based on a belief in God or in an individual’s belief in themselves. It says that Grace is sometimes the only and usually the best defense against the pressures put on us daily whether by external sources or (especially) by ourselves. I was trying to show Grace being maintained even under direct assault.

And, of course, humor will almost always play alarge roll in my pictures.

By the way, the figurine was not harmed in the making of this picture and it went back to Goodwill in the same condition it was when I bought it.

Anyway, no big deal. Thanks to everyone who left constructive criticism or compliments.

The grace of fratals. I wish I'd thought of it. Great composition and use of background blurring. Terrific picture.
