What I like:
- the colorful paperweight against the grainy wood

What I don't like:
- I can tell it is a paper wait, but can't make out what it is suppose to be- the title and contest make me think fish- but I don't see fish

Overall: perhaps a different angle would make what the paper weight is a bit more obvious.

netted
by Abra

Comment:
What I like:
- the net really pops here with a good focus/ sharpness on the net's details

What I don't like:
-this picture just isn't visually interesting to me.

Overall: I can see the net and water but I just don't have an emotional connection to it.

fish
by RKT

Comment:
What I like:
- the stripes/ spots on the fish and the texture of the fish's scales work great in b/w.

What I don't like:
- whatever effect was used to make this look like an old scratched up print.

Overall: I didn't like the framing at first, wishing the fish wasn't cut out in the crop. But I like it the more I look. This one is growing on me.

Seafood in the Old Town
by Bear_Music

Comment:
What I like:
- the setting, wherever this was taken, it looks gorgeous!
- light is very pretty

What I don't like
- I am more visually interested in the scenery around the fish than the fish. I love those green shutters!

Overall: for me this shot is attention grabbing for the background rather than the subject

Global Impact

Comment:
What I like
- this is a neat shot, live all the refections on the glass

What I don't like
- wish framing was a bit different. I think it looks better if some of the left side us cropped so that the glass isn't dead center in the shot

Overall: nicely done. Looks like an advert for PETA or an environmental group.

The Imposter
by glad2badad

Comment:
What I like:
- the set up/ idea of this shot.

What I don't like
- while the imposter pops in this scene, the actual fish does not. Focus on real fish is also blurred.

Overall: position of the live fish makes it take up very little of the frame and therefor a bit hard to see.

Wonder
by markwiley

Comment:
What I like
- reflection of the child
- has je ne sais quoi

What I don't like
- child's foot is cut out of frame
- overhead lighting. If this was candid, no way to help that... But if staged, an assistant with a diffuser screen would have been nice, I think, to cut down on some of the overhead light.

Overall: lovely shot of childhood wonder.

Fish Recipe

Comment:
What I like:
- exposure looks great
- visually interesting

What I don't like
- set up, everything is partially cut out of the frame. I can't really pit into words why this bothers me, but it does.

Overall: that said- not sure if this picture would be better with everything in frame. This picture doesn't excite me.

Colour my world

Comment:
What I like:
- beautiful colors
- nice focus, DoF nicely done.

What I don't like:
- image is a tad too sharp, halos are visible around the fish

Overall: editing is off a bit

Comments made on phone, score to follow- sorry for any typos.

Jellyfish Farm Blues
by Luciemac

Comment:
What I like:
- the monotone
- the subject- jellyfish are so pretty

What I don't like
- I can see the corner of the fish tank in the background. The harsh line is distracting from the subject
- focus is a bit soft

Overall: color is beautiful, But I'm not so fond of the framing/ placement of the subject.
