Clever setup... makes the viewer want to just crack open that fortune cookie to find out the rest of the fortune! Bright part may be just a tad too bright. Nice job!

I love the intense look on his face. I think a slight levels adjustment on this would have really boosted the contrast and made it stand out more.

The coloring of this one just doesn't work for me. I like the contrast of dark and light, but the greenish hue is unappealing. Perhaps a sepia tone would work better or even just a boost towards more yellow?

Good arrangement... slightly different from the typical arrangements done with pencils. The lighting seems a bit harsh with the shadows. I think just a tad less light and a bit of a levels adjustment would help this one. Nicely done though! :)

Swirl No. 9

I like this version much better (though, I liked the first one too!) The dark circle is gone, there is a smoother blending into the swirl, eliminating what came across to me as hot spots of white, and the swirl itself is smoother. A great reshoot. I notice the original says that it too was a reshoot of a shot you did when you started photography. It would be interesting to look at that one too in this series!

I had no clue what this one was, but that was the point of the challenge, right? The colors are so warm and wonderful, this one kept getting bumped up as I looked at it each time. Well done! :)

I loved this shot Kita! It captures the essence of the challenge very well and the soft colors are just beautiful. This was one of my 10's for the challenge. Simply stunning! :)
