Rodan!
Interesting structure, which really works against you here. I can see how you were trying to use low contrast to emphasis the shape, but the subject is too interesting, my eye demands more information and not finding it, my mind says "bad picture". Sorry :(

I'm sorry, for me this is all about color and pattern, not shape.

For me this speaks more of color and textures than shape. I also have trouble with the DOF. Hopefully, I can get the terminology right here, but my eye want to find a plane of focus, one depth where things are sharp. Instead there appears to be only one point at the center where things are sharp, then everything, regardless of depth, looses sharpness as you move to the edges. Perhaps this is a factor of your slightly acute perspective angle, or spherical abberation (?), which makes me think a smaller aperture may have helped.

Tough image to score. You start with two strong shapes, the apples and the vase,then unfortunately you confuse the shape of the apples with the pattern/texture of the vase. The vase gets lost in the background, because it's pattern works as camoflauge, breaking up the outline. Finally, I just don't like the green apples on the blue-gray background

Beautiful 'F/64' landscape. Love the sky and the tonal range, and the way the diagonal leads you down to the tree. However, the complex grayscale on the neutral sky speaks to me more about textures than shapes, therefore I have to score this down for the topic.

There are so many things to enjoy in ths image; the diagonals that lead you around and around, the multi-level hues of the mountains, the vertical repetition of the windmills. The problem is nothing screams shape and I'm left with linearities and patterns. Keeping the topic in mind, I can't score this as much as I like it.

Definitely on topic. I wonder if the even simplier backside would have been stronger.

Your image does contain strong shapes, but for me they seem more a distraction than the focal point. I think the points at the hand and head where the drinker get lost in the background are also weaknesses.

For me this is more a study of pattern than of shape. I do like the perspective you used.

While I certainly enjoy this image, I'm not sure if shapes are the dominate element, or if its more of a texture.
