Teapot Reflection
by lizzyc3

Comment:
Not wholly convinced about this one. Certainly meets the challenge perfectly - but something in the composition, perhaps just that you've excluded so much of the actual form of the tea-pot, takes away from it - perhaps without the tilt it would be more immediately familiar, or perhaps with a slightly less narrow aspect ratio. Good balance of shapes and forms I think, but that one thing lets it down a touch.

Technically impeccable work. There is a suitable weirdness to the composition, and the subject, without detracting from the 'mundane' thing. I'm in two minds about the single bean - not sure there isn't already enough going on , what with contrasts of size of glass and colours of beans, for that to be over-egging the pudding, but I guess you've already agonised about that.

Good use of colour here - you've managed ot echo the red of that hand's point in the scene without it seemiung overpowering or plain bizarre - and thankyou from the bottom of my heart for not putting a red line in the border :-) Certainly a mundane enough subject - made it look extraordinary? Jury's out for the minute ...

Comment:
Very nice idea, and pretty fine execution of it. I find the composition a bit irritating, however: I think I would have likes the crown of the shade more solidly in frame, allowing the eye a real place to be drawn up to - as it is, I think you draw the eye rather more out of frame than to any particular point. Would have been marvellous for textures, also.

Comment:
Reminiscent of a shot from the Matrix challenge. Colouring is good, and puts the image into a non-mundane area, for sure. I'm not sure that you wouldn't really want to make this a very symmetrical composition, given that it's such a pure image, and simple picture: the slight tilt, and placing the pattern of the holes so far up frame works rather against the very abstract quality of it. Certainly meets challenge subject though.

Box

Comment:
I think your chosen depth of field actually works against this image: i don't seen the real benefit of stressing those particular angles of the flaps against the rest of the box. Sure, the text is ;egible, but as a point that would stand out against the regularity of the rest of the box, I don't think it neededd to be accentuated this way - for me, it only leaves the rest of the image to seem odd, as opposed to 'extraordinary'.

I think this perhaps loses out onnlack of any idea of what 'mundane' thing this is exactly. Light trails are good - but I can't find anything that really suggests an idea of contact with reality.

Comment:
Highly competent stock photography - with the possible minor exception of the clearly visible windows in the reflections. I don't mean that as a detraction. You should try and sell it to them, they might well use it for an annual report or something. Not quite 'extraordinary' enough for me, but solid shooting.

Clever stuff indeed - like this very much - your placement of the focal point of those lines is very strong - so many would have tried to put this centrally.

Comment:
Delicate, neat, strongly composed. Placement of the hands is clever. Entirely fitting the challenge, though it perhaps doesn't quite make it into the 'extraordinary' class. Strong image though.
