One of my favorite type of newspaper assignments is to capture "wild art", which is defined as "Stand-Alone, Feature Shot, Enterprise art are found moments that are intended to be realistic slices of everyday life" (definition taken from this glossary). These are typically images that caption themselves, not needing a lot of words to get their point across. For this challenge, I'm scoring images as whether I'd like to see them on the front page of a paper as feel good wild art. If I don't think they would make the paper, I'm then asking myself, "does it make me feel good?" If it doesn't do much for me, well then, oh well...

Nice moment. If anything, I would have cropped maybe 15% of the wasted space off the top.

With some sharp focus on both of the objects, this could have really been a killer still life zen photo.

this just doesn't do much for me, aesthetically or technically. the focus is off, i don't like the reflections on the vessels, and it's a little too contrasty. also, the overall tone is not that inviting or soothing.

Nice composition that would work better for me if the focus would be on the front bowl.

That is very pretty. I love the shapes and lines, the glow in the colours and the little rings in the water.

Subject fills frame well. Would have been improved by being sharper, but nonetheless a good piece of work.
