Not sure what the illusion is, benefit of the doubt. I like the colors a lot. 7 Lionel

Until We Meet Again

I like the shot and the idea a lot and the orange colors .... BUT ... the frame is too bright, really even if yuou wanted to focus on it ... and I think the reflections in the window are distracting from the main purpose of the picture. I would be you I would work on it, redo the shot maybe and to my taste you would get a very good picture. 5 as it is, potential 8 to me. I hope this help, I think this is an idea worth to work on again. Bumped it to 6 to encourage you. Lionel

I like the angle and the texture. I like the coner. I do not see the illusion that much or I did not expected it in that sense. THe corner of the walls is a little distractind in the upper right corner. Something a little distracting for a 'nude' is it lookas like there is a mark on the skin like a tee shirt mark. 6 this week, a potential 8 an other week without the wall corners. I like the lines and the fact that only one nipple is visible, it lead the eye along the body line to the upper right corner. Bumping it to 7 even if I am not sure for the illusion. Lionel

I like the colors, the 'pose' as well but I think it would have been better without seeing the 'fabric'.

Distant Planets in a Lava Lamp
by anz

Comment:
First impression :
Nice colors, different from the other java lamp pictures (close up), well isolated with black background, Humour : 'distant planet', creativuty : medium, camera work: medium-good, composition:good

Second approach :
Compoistion : The center of the picture seems to me to be the distant planets. In that sense, they a a little 'lost' in the picture becasue of the reflexions on upper left and right corners (double reflection upper right corner ?). The yellow and pink colors are very nice but somehow, I think, conflict with the 'planets'

Technical : By (little) experience I now that java lamp pictures are not so easy .. it looks sharp from distance human eyes but blurry from the pictures. I think you did a good job with the 'dust' in the liquid. What is the double reflection in the upper left corner ?

Opinion : Interesting picture, a good 'close up' shot of the Java lamp. I like the evocation of distant planet and the ne you chaught are of good size for your topic. I think that the interest is too 'spread' between the 'distant planet concept', and a 'regular java lamp' shot. Suggestion (but that's just me) : maybe try cropping to get a 'pure' 'distant planet landscape'.

Overall 5.

A Jar

I think the shadow is too strong, and You should have detached the jar from the background. Nothing really interesting to mee expects the reds and browns.
