The first thing that I noticed about this picture was the borders. They made me cringe violently for about 60 seconds. I must honestly say that I don't particularly like border to begin with, but well. if you HAVE to use borders, I would suggest using a very thin black or white border (1 pixel, perhaps?) around the picture before adding coloured borders.

When that whining is over width, I have to say I like your image. The crop on the left side leaves something to be desired, I feel, but overall the image is very good. Nice contrast, good sharpness and interesting composition. The thingies on the window overhangs are very dtailed, and they make me kind of lose focus: I would think that the intention would be to pull the attention to the "wimpeltje" (whatever that is called in English) on the spire.

I think, with the photo subject chosen, you could not have done a lot better. When that is said, I think I should probably say that I think you could have found more interesting subjects in that village.

Personally, I gave you a 5, because I couldn't quite make up my mind if I liked the image or not. strangely enough, I didn't know why then, and I don't really know why now. I'm sorry

Mis-match
by Fibre Optix

Comment:
Incredble bacro, but it seems as if your lens has a few shortcomings, or that you have attempted to enlarge it a little too much, or that you have saved it with too hig compression. Especially around the edge of the unused match-head, there seems to be a lot of banding and JPG artifacts. Also, the side of the match is a bit over exposed. Despite of this, I am giving this picture a 9.

A great picture indeed (Lovely marguaritas!) but I don't see any "after" ?

Despite having to walk around with short hair for a few weeks, I can hardly complain about placing 12th :)

Technically, this picture is pretty damn good. But it is the title that gets you the full score. Brilliant. (10)

"OCB: Obsessive Compulsive Breakfast"

Hehe.. A brilliant solution to the title, and a fabulous title. However, I think the frame is hogging way too much of the image, and you cropped the plates a bit harshly, which lost you the 10-vote from me. (9)

Good idea, and cool lighting. But why did you let the ball burn out on the top? I think you could have pulled the exposure down by at least half a stop, and gotten a far more impact-full image. (6)

Amatuer woodworker's dream-a square and old barn wood

Sorry, I just have to nitpick; It's spelt "Amateur". Otherwise I think your image lacks contrast.. It is very pale, and the light is rather undramatic, I love the way you decided to solve the assignment though, and the right-angle tool certainly adds to the image. (6)

Shapes, Color, and ... Pie?!

Great idea, but not sure about the wool the plate is placed on - a finer textile (cotton? Filt?) would probably have been more suitable. Not a bad shot, however. (7)
