Touch Me Not!

This is not a super-attractive pose, although the model does appear to have a nice figure. Black bra + white shirt does not convey delicate. This shot is out of focus and the background is distracting. There is something in the lower left side of the frame that looks like it was not cropped out as you intended. Overall, the model is pretty but this shot looks more like a personal snapshot than an artistic interpretation of "delicate."

Focal point fills the frame well. Including an adult hand or finger, or something else for scale would have helped convey your point. With a macro shot like this, clipping the fingernails is essential. Good use of depth of field, although there is some lost focus on the thumb. Overall, a decent shot -- good luck in the challenge.

I can see your idea; however, the focus is too poor to properly evaluate.

Very nice. Meets challenge well, excellent bokeh, colors on the focal point really pop. Overall, a great job.

Interesting take on the challenge. I'm not sure what the picture frame has to do with the pennies; I think going with a more simple composition would have gotten the point across more effectively. In addition, the white balance appears to be off. Where's the spilled water from the broken vase? It's obvious you tried here...good luck in the challenge.

I'm not sure I see delicate here, given the subject's age and clothing. NIce creativity with the double exposure; however with the muddy colors it might not communicate your vision as well as it could have. Overall, this particular shot lacks visual interest but is on the right track with creativity.

Good focus. The focal point (lichen, according to your title) does not take up enough room in the frame. Overall, a decent shot.

This is an excellent composition. The can on the furthest right doesn't seem to be tilted in the same direction as the others, but that is a teensy thing. Nice job.

You've shown your thoughts on a major coffee chains prices extremely well. On my monitor I can see some wavy lines that look like noise artificats (luminance channel?) and it's a bit distracting. This would be in the upper right hand corner. With that said, I love the tag line on the coffee cup and the sugar packets are priceless. Nice satire.
