Chilly Chili

Catchy title, made me chuckle. Great selection of colors - but it would be more effective if the chili manitained a dark crisp green instead of the muted yellowish green. The way the red is bouncing around in the ice is really tremendous.

Nicely done black and white portrait. Would like to see a tiny bit more outline of the top of the head. Lighting on the hands is perfect.

A very nice rendition. Great exposure and lighting.

Simple and effective. This is one of several that used the black/white technique with eating utensils or something similar. Since yours is divided exactly in half and not placed in a diagonal composition, it is not as dynamic as some. The thin white line on the border is a bit unusual - showing only on the handle of the black fork.

Great lighting on the larger bird. Catching that water drop falling was an added treat. Exposure seems to be right on.

NIMBY! Great perspective, composition and exposure. Nice crisp blue sky. Keystoning of the buildings due to the wide angke kens is exaggerated by your choice of border. Overall - one of the STRONGEST entries.

Nice capture. Dynamic and full of interest.

Excellnt diagonal composition. I like the lighting with one small caveat: there should be a bit more light on the screw's head. Over all it's one of the strongest entries. To me, the border is a bit heavy - but that's not a point off or anything.

A very ORIGINAL idea! I'm sure you gave a few folks a chuckle. Photographically - it's a pleasing image, but not really "exciting." Overall - a strong entry.

Wonderful abstract! There were many, many fire and ice entries as you know - but this one stands tall amoung them. Great colors and a fun image to explore.
