Deciphering the Code

The connection to the challenge is weak. The execution of the concept is good. I don't think this will win a ribbon but it is a very nice image.

Letterhead Stationery

Nice layout and contrast. I would like to see the overall focus of the image shifted to the front with the pen and first piece of paper equally in focus.

Indians of the Great (paper) Plain

Comment:
Very creative and a lot of effort was put into this shot. This is very suitable for stock photography. I think it is cropped a little too tightly, as I would like to see the tips of the pencils on the right side of the image.

Nice lines and cropping. A little fill light in the top right corner to eliminate the shadow from the rolled paper would have really made this image work.

The Dreaded Letter

I would have liked to see the tip of the pen in focus with the paper. The composition is well thought out and overall, this is a very nice image.

Attack of the Stapler

Comment:
A fun image to look at and well thought out. The lighting is a bit harsh, which causes the paper to look a little washed out.

The Daily Stationery

Comment:
Not what I would typically think of as stationery but you do write on it. I really don't have any suggestions for improvement excpet for removing the small area at the upper right hand corner which isn't part of the crossword puzzle and not part of the black background. Maybe a little more contrast or converting this to B&W would make it pop more.

Writers Block
by fullmetalfinn

Comment:
The image definitely communicates the intent of the title. The doorframe behind the wastebasket is a little distracting and the colors in the background keep drawing my eye away from the wastebasket. That isn't entirely bad, as the writer is as important as the failed attempts.

paper rainbow

Comment:
Not quite a rainbow, as the colors are random instead of continous. The green paper in the center should have been rotated so the tape doesn't become the center point of the image or better yet, so it doesn't show at all.

Edit for Typo's

Interesting rotation of the image. It could use a little bit more saturation to make the yellow pencil pop more.
