primary loom

Comment:
I really like this - simple composition and strong colour. The background has some gradiation of colour but otherwise it's great. This reminds me of one of the artworks based on the London Underground (Tube) - I can't recall the name but I will see if I can find it on the internet.

An Eye For Primary Colors

Comment:
Lovely and simple and very striking - I particularly like that touch of red and yellow in the centre.

Nice simple shot - great saturation in the reds and blues. Lighting doesn't feel quite right - the yellow is bouncing quite a lot of it off which means the yellow seems paler whereas the red ribbon is in the shadow in some areas.
Great composition.

The Zoo

Comment:
What a wonderful abstract - strong lines in the foreground which really strengthen the composition and wonderful soft curves behind - i like the sweeping black curve and the smaller brighe ones. That black circle is also just right.
Good luck!

Bad Ass Glass
by scab-lab

Comment:
Aaaw - now I'm wondering - those curves in the background - aren't they another piece of glass? If they are just an image on a monitor I'm a little less impressed - I like the resulting image just as much either way but was particularly impressed with what I thought was the use of two different peices of glass. Will you clarify here on on PM?
:o)

Glass

For me this inversion of positive to negative does nothing to enhance the picture or to highlight the qualities of the glass. I actually prefer the original positive image.

Distorted

Comment:
This is a fascinating image and were it sharper would be a 7 or 8 for me. In this case I think the central composition works well - the colours are great and the border is well chosen.

Curves in Glass
by ploogiea

Comment:
I really like the composition in this image. It's incredibly simple yet very elegant. For me the weakness is that the object that I'm assuming is made of glass doesn't really say glass to me - the qualities of the glass itself aren't really explored or evident.
Lighting is a little low for my tastes but I appreciate that's perhaps a deliberate decision to strike a certain mood.

Campari

Comment:
I'm in two minds about this - on one hand there is the fact that it's such a close copy of a recent entry in a recent challenge - which means the creativity isn't your own - on the other hand I do appreciate that one great way to learn more to to try and emulate the work that one admires. The jury is still somewhat out for me - on balance I think it's great to imitate in order to learn but not so great to then enter the imitation into a challenge as one's own work.
About the image: I like the colour of the red liquid - it has a nice tone to it. My biggest criticism is the choice of glass - I think this kind of shot works best with a plain glass which really plays on the abstract geometric nature of the shapes created - in this case, the dimples and patterns in the cut glass detract from that geometry.

Mounds of Color
by decoteau

Comment:
I like the colours and light reflections in the glass. I think this shot could benefit from a little application of the rule of thirds - either a horizontal third given to the black background and 2 thirds to the glass or the other way around. I'd suggest the former which gives more prominence to the glass.
