Variations of Old and New: Post Modern, Modern and Gothic

Nicely done - image space is divided in a very pleasing manner. I wish the white area between the two left buildings were not so prominent. Still a very competitive entry.

Superb macro shot - loads of detail. Exposue right on. The only minor point is the few pieces of dirt/hair on the background area - but that's very minor. Great submission.

Black house - White house

Exceptional reflection. The placement of the curving lead-in line starting in the bottom left corner is marvelous. Once you start there - there are numerous arcs that gently lead the eye up into the buildings and sky. It's a work of art, but perhaps a bit of a stretch for the challenge. It doesn't shout "OPPOSITE" but it does indeed whisper "opposite."

Stripes and Solid

Effective - kinda "spacy" The several white spots on the striped part of the image are a bit distracting.

Country Town Originality

Good colors - nice lighting and a perfect sign showing opposites. I was going to say you needed more light on "side street" but finally concluded that is was a nice irony that the side street is shadowed. Composition seems a bit centered - and just wonder what would it look like if it was shot with the sign pole being a little diagonal instead of straight vertical.

Cookie Contrast

Me cookie monster. Great job! It may be better if the white on the bottom cookie didn't have the yellowish cast to it - but that's a minor point. Nice idea and execution.

Focus

Very nice! Texture and soft colors on the top flower are very nice. The repeated shape of the out-of-focus flower adds a nice compositional element. I was wondering about the lighting on te back flower but finally concluded it helps separate the colors of the petals front to back. Fills the frame very nicely.

Busy but very intriguing as well. Sometimes it appears the ringy thingy is "floating" above the surface. Wish I could tell a bit more what it is. Nice job!

S & P in B & W

Simple, effective and nice to look at. There are some things I think could improve your image: 1) The triangle of white on the top left edge is not needed, 2) Try moving the white phone just a bit to the right so that you can see the entire line of the boundary of the white/black, and 3) The whites should proably match better - remove the yellowish cast to the area under the black phone. But that's not saying it's not a great submssion as it is! Very well done!

Very nice handling of your extreme depth of field. Great exposure on the close face - and a pretty one at that. The hair coming in from the top left leading you down to the eye is a GREAT touch. There are two suggestions for improvement: 1) The bight sky in the top right corner is unfortunate and 2) The reddish object to the left of the legs is a minor detractor.
