I really like the background pattern you set up and how nicely it reflects in the ring. Great decision to selectively lighten the background--it looks classy. (8)

Go Ahead

Your use of focus, composition, cropping and color are excellent. The purple/yellow compliment is very pleasing. The crop, focal plane, and angle of the ring are very suspenseful. I wish the diamond was a bit more in focus. The text is arranged and indented well for the image, but I think the font is too big for the elegant look of the picture. (I'd really like to see what this looks like with a different font treatment.) Beautiful shot. (8)

Beautiful, flawless shot. Nice use of the glossy base and reflection. I notice you made sure the hands were in the 2:00/10:00 beauty positions :D I'm not sure how intentional the light/dark background reflection was in the face of the watch, but I think it does help give a nice clean look to the finish of the crystal. Great work. (9)

History In The Making

Very nice composition, color, and choice of setting for the watch. The glistening drops and smooth edges do a good job of complimenting the glossy reticulation in the watch.band. There's great contrast and sharpness throughout the image, and because of the way you've arranged the reddish stones, you still draw attention in to the watch, even though there is rich interest in the stones.

Great lighting, mood, tone, crispness, and composition. This would work great as a watch advertisement, imo. I hope you didn't suffer because the watch wasn't shot macro-style. (9)

I enjoy the composition in this image. The foreground building roof diving into the left third of the image, and then the roof point at the very bottom shooting the angle straight up into the main building, and off into the ornate negative space of the blue sky. The blue and orange-yellow make a nice, battling contrast of color. I think the only thing I miss is a focal point that works with the strong lines.

Nice shot.

Beautifully rich and colorful image.

I could be mistaken, but it looks like a soften filter was used. I'm a little torn as to whether I like that effect here or not.

Ann, what a clever shot, with great exposure. The fact that you got such a clean image, non-tripod, at 1/10 second is incredible. I'm also encouraged to see how well ISO 400 came out. Congratulations on the red ribbon!

David, very cool! Congratulations on the blue. The bionic insertion of the zipper is really smooth, seamless and believable. Excellent concept and execution.

It's a Boy!

This is such a cool idea. I have no idea what you used for the newborn there...some sort of squash? But it's perfect. It has that slithery amniotic sac look to it which really completes the picture. Great clarity. Exposure seems a little hot on the brightest part of the banana.
