Reflections on the quietness

Interesting shot! The only negative I see is the rock at the bottom. The rest of the picture has a hazy / dreamy quality and then there is that rock. The sharpness and slight overexposure sticks out and ruins the mood. Maybe a little blurring of the rock would have helped. Otherwise, nice job.

Wow! Is that the moon or a fingernail clipping on a black tile floor?

Monochrome

This is a really cool picture. However, if it was truely adjusted to monochorme I don't think it meets the challenge criteria. All pictures in the challenge could have been adjusted to monochrome. If I misunderstood, your titla and the grasshopper is actually the same color as the background and vegetation, my appologies. I still gave you a 6 because I do like the picture. It's well composed, good lighting, and an interesting subject matter.

Wrapped in Gold

Two things I would change...The skin has too much of a pink tone to it and the lighting needs to be changed to get rid of the shadows on her face.

I like the picture but would like to have seen the hand with a more natural tone to it. The hand appears too pink. Otherwise, a great shot.

Nice warm / golden tones. However, I find all the white spots very distracting. Also, I would have cloned out the reflection in the bottom of her right eye...it's just another one of those white spots that take away from the image for me.

Nice shot! However, the challenge says "find something gold and shoot it."

I do like the sharpness and the reflections though.

DNMC - Where's the gold. Was it implied? I just don't get it.

Great composition, color and sharpness. Top 10 I'll bet (of course I've only seen about two dozen pictures at this point)

Interesting idea. The gold has been edited out of the shot with the pliers? The only negative for me is the color of the blood. It looks to pink and watery.
