Raindrops

Beautiful richness of colour but not quite enough contrast in colour between top leaf and some beneath it. Would have liked to see more dark leaves (like the one at the left) beneath the top one to really allow the shape of it to be more defined. Water adds interest. Full frame works well.

Painting with Light

They glow! I am feeling tempted by the thought of OJ so I guess that means the image is working for me! :o)

A Basket of Mums
by SharonS

Comment:
Nicely composed with good use of background materials - DOF throws them out of focus enough not to distract from main subject but not so much as to lose recognition. A solid traditional subject matter. I like the more casual touch of the two loose flowers and petals. Not sure about black and white though I appreciate that in colour the balance between foreground and background may not have been maintained.

Great touch to have the ants in the picture. My main comments would just be that I think there needs to be more space between the bottom edge of the cherry and the frame. Also the ant at the bottom is merging into the shadow of the cherry which I'm not so keen on as the ones off on their own to the left. Very dynamic image though, especially with the use of just black red and white.

Forgotten

Oh! Let me gather him to me! This image successfully invokes the appropriate emotions - tugs at the heartstrings. Mood is established very well with use of light and shadow and the balance of each contributes to the very strong composition. Position of his head is just right. Can I have him?

Curling into Fall

What a lovely leaf and the lighting is just golden. Background is somewhat disappointing - too much texture showing to work as a plain black backdrop and yet not enough interest there to want to see it.

Eggs Life

Oh nooo!!! I collect eggcups - I have probably near on 200. I adore these little suckers! Where can I get some? PS Image nicely taken - well lit, good use of dual background to show off the objects.

Ribbon

Comment:
Nice use of coloured ribbon. Ribbon well positioned. Like that shadow is soft against the hard edges of the ribbon. Ribbon is too close to left and top of frame for my preference. Feels too hemmed in.

Outdoors Pottery Still Life

Nice shot of pattern and yet at the same time chaos. All one colour and yet so much variation. Makes me tilt my head a little - is it rotated slightly?

Pair

An element of eroticism with the suggestion of bosoms - the texture on the skins adds to that. Good composition, strong use of shadow. I think this is an excellent study and is much more than just a picture of two fruits.
