The mysterious Mr. Pepper
by h2

Funny. The mystery here strikes me as wondering whose eye that is! Or is the stem really a periscope for some tiny explorer? I do like the pepper on the left edge - gives some where for the eye to peer into, but maybe I'd like it better if the negative space were a little smaller. 5.

Magic Cards

I like how you blurred the hands to put the emphasis on the cards. I also like how they fan out - it's a nice shape. This is a good example of how centering the objects can work well. How'd you do it? 6.

Nice! I like the composition and the lighting, especially how the shadow dominates the upper left corner. 6.

A Rare Sighting of the Mysterious 20 Foot Long Tiger

LOL. Unlike many other entries, I got the mystery of this one even without the title! Not much to say about it - sometimes you get lucky with what you see, and you shoot. You framed the tiger nicely within his cave. 6.

Very nice shot. I look forward to reading how you did it. I like how you blurred her face - that emphasizes her hand and the floating pencil. And her face, hand, and pencil are placed well.

The blue tint to the girl detracts from it for me, but still, a 6.

Nice idea. I like how you placed the note - not too perfectly, but clearly in the light so we can read it. I might've cropped it tigher at the top - that black space doesn't add anything for me. But the hand is terrific. 6.

Nice! The lighting works well on the gloves, and the hands and bulb are placed very well. I look forward to reading how you did it. Bumping from 6 to 7.

The Indian Rope Trick

Ha! I thought about trying this for the rope challenge.

Your actors did a nice job selling it with their expressions, and I love the kid pointing it out to someone off-camera (an adult, maybe?). 6.

I really like this one. The expression on her face is terrific! I look forward to reading how you did it. I also like the lighting - it's dramatic on her face.

A nitpick would be to clean up the bumpiness in the wall. You did a nice job of fuzzing it out on the left around her head, so I mean to extend that to the left edge and also from the right side of her head to the right edge.

The Summoning

Started out at 6, upping it to 7. Creepy, and the spirit soaring out of the skull really drives home the magical feel. I look forward to reading how you did it. The moon also adds a nice touch. 7.
