Bent Rocks

I love rocks but I find lighting too challenging for me. Your shot demonstrates nice wavy lines but minimal color and shaded areas leave me with less of a spectacular rock formation response. If you hear of good tips for cavern rock photo taking please let me know. Your photo rocks. 6

Thanks Laurie for one of the greatest critique we`ve received so far. I also never noticed the background cord as being so distracting until you brough it up. Thanks.

"It" is a photo of an antique stool with the corner torn taken under a table. Being viewed by digital photographers, my choice was to get the reaction of strong emotion from comfortable (not poor often able to buy computer or digital camera) individuals. The same emotion people get when faced with a beggar in their face can be one of empathy or revultion. The theme was seeing through the eyes of a poor hungry colapsing beggar under the table. More importantly, the voter should react to the overexposed, out of focus, confusing photo in the same way they may a beggar (with empathy or revultion towards the image or photographer.) The choice of antiques is linked to the fact that value towards something old, dirty, smelly and torn is shown by how we care for it; much like our reactions to someone who is poverty stricken. I hope this is helpful as I have received many comments similar to yours.

Mushroom

Terrific photo close-up. I find the mushroom too perfect to answer to bizarre nature but high score for technical photo fitness.

whale fossil or natural erosion?

Moby! It's Moby! I should have looked at the photo before reading your give away title. Lovely background. My first 10. Congratulations on a great shot.

Very nice photo. I find flowering cactus even more strange. I saw some today in a store and I wish you were there to see the odd shapes and colors. As is your photo gets a medium above average score. Thanks.

Partial Lunar Eclipse and Cloudscape

Comment:
Nice blues and rust colors. Eclipses are so much more strange in person than on photo. Your photo has depth thanks to the chance clouds exposing a weird pin-wheel type movement. I like it a lot.

Bat Bait

I see someone has a green thumb and has homegrown their own natural bat seedling. Great creation, background enhances the green, a little over exposed in the upper left area. Thanks.

Identity crisis!

This DNA close-up is in the weird category indeed. Blurry pixel bacground distracting but definitely a great submission. Focus on focal point crisp and in a well composed area. Thanks.

Longhorn Steer

I would give this weird guy in a card to a friend just to make him or her laugh with something like "I took a longhorn time to finally send you this card". Spotchy skin unique. I just have to nine you.
