Chancellors meal ?

An interesting photo. Lots of elements demanding attention from the viewer. There are so many different colors, textures, shapes and lines in this smorgesboard. My favorite elements are the fork and knife with the most alluring hue reflections. The highlights of the container are quite strong, plus a spot or two of glare from the sauce and bottle. Could I suggest photographing just a couple of these elements in a small group. To lessen the visual confusion and create a stronger story with just a few objects. For instance the fork, noodles and a touch of sauce. The wood board background is a great idea that goes well with the theme. I think the food against the wood grain without the gutter lines might be a possibility. You have the right idea to get in close and play around with the composition. Just choosing which objects to make your image say what you want is the difficult individual perogative. A good commendable effort. Please continue to enter in future challenges !

A breathtaking image of inspiring quality. Melting away in admiration of the soothing soft colors. The easy on the eyes focus is very pleasant and appropriate for the mood of this photo. There are a couple of hot highlights and stabbing vertical lines that others may find a minor distraction. But it is part of the situation and I can live with it no prob. The tack sharp foto hounds may hassle you a bit too. Don't pay attention to them. This is a highly creative endeavor which speaks charmingly to the gentle heart. Very well done indeed!

Lemons lemons everywhere. Another classic professional pose by the subject in question. Some folks may bicker a tad that the fruit is a hair on the orange side. Phooey. A good job with nice chioce of green tint bubbly liquid and no distracting reflections or shadows. Smack dab on tones, composition, lighting and all those usual checklist items. The standard black background gives vitality and contrast to the lemons. Although this composition is typical you have demonstrated your professional capabilities. Good show.

Love the bold red window frames that accent your image so well. A hilarious shot that siuts the challenge well. I would have liked to see the rest of the bumper shadow on the far right side. Just a minor point. The hint of grass on the bottom gives the image an appropriate visual base. Way cool dude(ss).

Perhaps the most outstanding macro shot on the site yet. You rightly deserve first place hands down with this entry. No contesting that. The impeccable bee focus to bring out every detail and nuance of tone in the insect is sheer magic. The background fades ever so gently and smoothly from the delicate foreground folds.Incredibly beautiful hues in the petals and wings. If you don't receive another 50 rave reviews I will be very surprised. A true masterpiece!

One of my top fav fotos for this week. The panaramic format and unusual composition combining derriere and shadow work very in this dynamic image. Although the feeding bowl is a very minor drawback it is a fact of the situation. The fuzzy bamboo backdrop is a complimentary texture. The stance of the animal shadow demonstrates sleek muscular power. I admire how you balanced the touch of color with the interplay of B&W. Gorgeous!

Waldo is sick and tired of being found...

Ha Ha ! If scores would be gauged according to humour you would get a 10. Your idea is commendable. The bottle and box are excelent choices of stage props. This appears to be an off the cuff idea that you attempted to capture at the moment of inception. Spontaneity and creativity are worth developing. Unfortunately you may have to compromise some of those exceptional talents in order to acheive a lofty score. And that would make me sad. Anyways, could I suggest a more provocative visual statement by honing in on some of your compositional and lighting cues. If Waldo was sick and tired he might be in a darker more moody environment. Perhaps a spotlight or ray of light from an opened door emphasizing your power props (box and bottle) with ample shadow. Backlighting behind the box to catch bottle highlights for instance. You might even consider doing your image in B&W to further build the mood. Basically you hack and chop away at every visual element that does not aid in speaking your message. In this instance you might consider different lighting and camera position to eliminate the whiteness of concrete, the watch, clothing detail, chair and curtain. I do not intend this as a harsh criticism. Just alternative ways that may affect the presentation and meaning of your image. I believe that you are a good photographer that holds much promise.

A good creative angle on the challenge for this week. I like the bold repetition of the yellow booth sides and phone signs. This might even work in B&W. Two very minor negative points hardly worth mentioning are the glaring highlight reflections from the lights and the black pants blending in with the black wall border. Dramatic cropping into a panorama would be another alternative. A good overall photo.

A pleasant gentle image. The cottony leaves contrast well to the bold trunk and branches. Although the water highlights command much attention fromthe viewer they do suit the high key image. Waldo is not disguised in the foto which may dock you a few points from other voters. But not me. A long time exposure with a ghost waldo would be an interesting possibility, too. A good solid image.

I am in total awe of your compositional choice. Many people may not agree with the shards of skewed building bits poking in here and lopped off there. But I really am envious of this marvellous dynamic expression of line and shape. The token figure is well disguised. Such a fabulous shot. The greys are balanced well in proportion to the vivacious blues plus that elegant complimentary kiss of yellow. A unique personal image that says much about your sense of color and graphic design. Very well done.
