I like the compostion and the negative space. I'm not sure why the image is so grainy though. It's hard for that subject to be compelling on it's own as an interesting subject of an image.

Ballooned

Comment:
I'm going to have to object to the post processing. The image looked as though it isn't very close to what came out of the camera. I do like the triangles that are created by the image contrasting with the circular baloon on the shadow.

Great light, great picture. The border works well too. Good job.

Mr. Green Leaves

Comment:
The texture of the leaves is intersting, but to me, the image is too busy with the lack of a central object that the image is about.

Cherry Rose

I love the water on the pedals. It adds more texture and makes the whole image more interesting. What I'm not sure that I like is that the cherries are completely overpowered by the red of the pedals. I think that toning down the pedals a bit or finding brighter cherries may have helped the image. Overall though, I like it.

Red On Red

That's a great flower picture. Stem might have been a little less distracting if it were a bit more desaturated. As it is, the stem takes a little away from the texture of the flower and pedals by standing out as the only thing that isn't red (or close to it).

Shades of Blue

Interesting image. A little bit too overprocessed IMO. Either that or I'm not imaginative enough to figure out how you pulled this off. in any case, I love the symmetry of the image as well as the texture of the noodles. Good job!

Green

I love it. The focus is right on, and it fits the challenge well. The only think I'm not that keen on in the composition. I'm a fan of negative space and I wonder what it would have looked like off center with some plain green in the image.

I'm sorry, this just isn't abstract enough... If I was a member, I would have given it a 1. (j/k)

What might improve the image, IMO: The composition of the image may benefit from being less centered as far as the horizon of the image is concerned

NOTE: I'm trying this system of giving comments on all images I vote on, my score of the photo, and what I did and did not like. Please, I'd like feedback on whether or not this is helpful, so feel free to give me a PM with any feedback - positive and negative are welcome. Also, my profile has more about what all of the terms in my grading system mean to me.
