Thanks for the comments and votes, everybody, this did better than I expected.

Puckzzz, the coffee was sitting on a piece of glass covered with two sheets of tracing paper. There was a flash underneath, and another flash to the side.

Excellent! Congratulations! I love the surrealism. I didn't vote in this challenge, but this would have been my winner for sure.

Gorgeous portrait (and gorgeous dog, too). This would have done very in the pet portrait challenge.

hmmm...There's some brown, but I'm not sure what the focus of the picture is.

Sometimes You Feel Like a Nut...

Why are the nuts sitting on top of Yao Ming? I don't get it. The newspaper doesn't seem to add anything to the composition.

Candle in amaretto
by hajeka

Comment:
The idea is nice, but, since you have full control of everything in the picture, doing a still life like this requires a level of perfectionism that goes way beyond other types of photography. In this shot, we can see everything on your desk, which pulls focus away from the candle and the glass. You might want to use a sheet to hide everything. Also, the glass appears to be either scratched or dirty. For a brown challenge, there isn't much brown. You might try putting something brown in the background to make the amaretto darker.

Great! Would be a 10 if the reflection on the left side weren't so harsh.

Very nice composition. I think if the deer were in focus instead of the tree behind it, it would score very well.

This looks like it might be really great, but it's so small I can't tell.
