"In the absence of light, darkness prevails."

A wonderfully simple photo. Your exposre is good, though I might like to see the candle placed slightly off center to give the darkness more dominance to underscore the opposition.

Stripes and Solid

Great colors and composition. The placement of the figure is a bit of an optical illusion because of the shadow. I don't get the sense of opposition since there's really nothing solid portrayed. Very inventive entry.

I like the simplicity of this very much. I appreciate the texture of the surface, it gives the piece more visual interest. I'd like to see the white on the left a bit more white - the way you've put the border on, it's more obvious that it's not pure white.

You've succeeded in getting a visceral reaction from me! The colors and saturation are really great. The composition and set-up has me missing a little bit of the identity of the toothbrush because of the way it's pointed. But the textures really sell this one.

Very interesting shot. I enjoy your DOF and courage to leave Downtown out of focus. The color choice is great.

Opposites Attract/Wet and Dry

A great shot. I love the curves and forced perspective of the sandbars. The colors are a little muted, perhaps a bump on the contrast would help to brighten it up. Nice composition.

lovely color - I like the off-center composition, but I might like to see less on the bottom and more on the top.

Architecture: New and old

A wonderful and original interpretation for the challenge. The choice of framing really highlights the differences. I like the colors, especially the differences between the aqua of the glass and the blue of the sky and then the reflected sky in the left windows. I wonder if a slight rotation CCW wouldn't help to make the line of the walkway feel a little better.

Dark & Light in One Package

Great colors and composition. I like the detail on the horses noes, showing the little folds. The appropriateness for the challenge is a little thin and I'd like to see a tad more contrast to really show up the black and white difference in the coat.

Water and Fire

Excellent idea! The colors on the fire are amazing and the texture and shapes that they create are very engaging. I'd like to see the water lit just a little more to highlight the "opposite" nature of your composition. Good work.
