verges on abstract - interesting take on the challenge.

Comment by Jammur:
Good idea, but, perhaps, because of the nature of the glass, it appears out of focus. Right, why should you be blamed for the glass, but you picked your subject, and have complete control in a studio setting.

This is too overexposed for me.

Comment by persimon:
I am not fond of this image composition. Perhaps a more head on approach would be better. Here, you lose the line and texture of the wall as well as the interesting shape of the socket. I think the candle just doesn't fit either. You did shoot light on white though, so you met the challenge. Just not a very mocving arrangement. 5

The background seems more interesting than the subject. I feel some other angel would have made this more interesting. Nice try though.

I like the desaturated? colors of the grass contrasting with the yellow of the flower. 6

There is another flower there it seems, dead flower or something. If only it wasnt there. But great photo 6.

Comment by jmlelii:
The exposure in this is all wrong. The grass is way under exposed, the flower is over exposed. The only way you can change that is if you shed more light on to the grass to try and even out the exposure.
