Very cool capture. The flames are just wonderful - I like how they form a bit of cup shape jsut like the ice does in the center. The colors are really nice.

Chalk & Cheese

Comment:
The proportions on these items are really odd. That's big chalk, or small cheese and that's what I notice most of all in this photo. I think to highlight the difference between the smoothness of the cheese and the chalk there should be a little bit of dust and maybe a different background - the fabric feels a little off to me.

Excellent macro capture - the texutres and colors are great - the lighting is good. I'd adjust the DOF a little bit to keep the chalk sharp though. Nice work.

The Two Sides of Mankind

A good capture. I like the lighting and how the contours of the face are scultped by it. I wouldn't mind a closer crop to see more detail at this size. Good muted, moody colors too.

Black and White People

This is a wonderful candid capture. I like that everyone is facing the camera and the lighting for the walking people is quite nice. I might like more light on the foreground couple seated, but an excellent urban shot.

Beautiful colors and texture. Your sense of composition is wonderful with the curve of the stem and the twist of the but combined with the large swaths of color from the petals and leaves in the background.

No Wake Zone

Interesting way to interpret the challenge - the geese captured in frame are great, but the idea of no wakes isn't quite illustrated by the photo - it's only in the title. I like the turquoise of the boat and the color of the water.

I love this photo - the contrary directions and the worn paint. The colors are great, I even like the little pine needles in frame.

Othello?

A nice set up and good sense of composition. I'd like to see a bit crisper focus and maybe a little bit truer blacks.

A great idea, but the dim lighting makes the details rather mushy. Perhaps a different background.

Excellent capture - I wish it was bigger, but it gets the point across instantly.
