Say No
by Allen

Comment:
Composition: Nice central subject that uses lines to draw your eye to it.
Technical: The negative seems to have made noise in the pic more obvious, especially in the pink sign.
Meets challenge: Not sure this would be a cliche in photography.
Overall impression: Ok pic but iffy regarding the challenge. 4

What is this?
by christybenhoff

Comment:
Composition: Could possibly have been a bit 'higher' moving the cat's eyes lower down in the pic.
Technical: Focus let this down big time. I'd suggest moving further away and having a smaller pic if necessary to get better quality. The focus of the b/g is excellent, which would have been great if it the cat was at that distance.
Overall impression:Could have been a good one focus lets it down a lot. 4

Decaying Beauty
by stephan

Comment:
Composition: I like the size of the subject and pic itself.
Technical: This comes out very dark on my monitor. Was this the effect you were going for? If so, the amount of negative space leaves the pic a little empty.
Overall impression: I think the subject had a lot going for it, for me it was possibly let down by lighting. 6

I love the pic, but I'm not sure about the border (-1). 7

Wildlife - Peregrine Falcon
by pstuhr

Comment:
Composition: Colours join into simple shapes which seems to support the subject. If possible I'd prefer it without the blue cloth.
Technical: Lovely DOF and colour. Nice use of the full 640 too.
Overall impression: Might have prefered it with a border. 7

Pretty as a Picture
by RLS

Comment:
Composition: I like the green thing in the bottom left, but I would be very tempted to crop it out and make the flowers more central.
Technical: Excellent focus and colour. I really like the border too, although it seems to have a different width on each edge?
Overall impression: Lacking slightly on the above for me personally but excellent technically. 8

Comment:
Composition: Nice position and size.
Technical: I like the lighting and vibrancy. Might have chosen a flatter and possibly less grainy background.

Mighty Ducks
by Velocity

Comment:

Singapore Orchid
by Kate

Comment:
Composition: Nice use of small number of leaves/branch in the background.
Technical: Really like the DOF.
Overall impression: Might have tried a border myself, but looks excellent as it is. 8

Camellia
by Geo_Griffin

Comment:
Composition: Position is good but the flower seems to 'lean' slightly to the left.
Technical: Did you try reducing the DOF? Seems a little cluttered atm.
Overall impression: Nice pic well framed with a good border. 7
