If this isn't dramatic lighting, I don't know what is. Great use of lighting and form. 10!

I particularly like the way you have captured the shadows marching across the wall(?) with the ants. Very effective.

I like the shady lighting, and would love to know how the structure was made from 1 piece of 8 1/2 x 11 with no glue.

Was this much blur intentional? Highlites are washed out. Good abstract image though. 5

Did you intend for the soft focus? Seems unfocused rather than soft focus. On the right track though... 7

Candlelit Gourds
by tracyanderson66

Comment:
Interesting composition. The gourd on the upper left, (no idea what it's called) comes out too hot. The detail in the neck at the stem is completeluy gone. Perhaps if you had let more of the scene go darker, for more drama... 7

Excellent! Very dramatic. (Exactly what the challenge calls for.) Would make a fantastic poster. 10!

My Hand

Comment:
Is there something gone wrong here? On my monitor I see what looks like a pinkish white square, and a bit of coral color in the lower right hand corner. I've probably spent 5 minutes looking at this to try to see what you wanted to show me, but there just isn't enough there. Would like to have seen the photographers notes on this one.

You sure this isn't wrath and not pride? Whatever it is, it works. 9
