Black and White

Comment:
Great idea for this theme - bit down from the technical side: ugly shadows from the flash and lack of black/white squares in the reflection on the black cup. I don't know why you needed the spoon though, it only got overexposed from the flash and showed the rest of the room... Details, details... I'll still give you a 9, great idea...

Shasta Mountain
by prbetts

Comment:
Really tough shot, but you handled it well (trees in the shadow and bright snow on the sun) - there is still much detail to be seen in the trees and mountain in snow isn't overexposed.
I don't know about this tree in upper left corner though - it kind of doesn't fit in...

Mic & Bass
by BeeGee

Comment:
Good composition, I would suggest to put the bass in even lower position to balance the photo more and to emphesize the parallel lines of microphone and neck of the bass...

Took me a while to figure this out...
These two black spots are a bit distracting, otherwise nice composition.

Near the Ghost Mine

Great landscape with beautiful light and nice crispness, slightly overexposed on the vertical rock...

Double framing? Too much - the frame you made during photographing would have been enough...

Your alternate option: Apple
by hyphaefungi

Comment:
Nice idea, but your shot doesn't reflect the title in full: unfortunately apple sign is out of focus :-(
While inverting colors it would have been a better option to decrease output levels on the black side so that the final photo doesn't look so much overexposed...

Stainless Steel Teeth (Crowns)

Comment:
Brrr. Makes my teeth hurt allready... More playful composition would be better (leavenig some of them out, rotating etc.)...

Traditional Embroidery

Comment:
Interesting motive, but looks washed out - colors could have been so much more lively with a small use of cuves/levels...
