In terms of meeting the challenge, the colours stand out more because of the expanse of black (and the subject is pushed off centre) meaning you arent blasted with the subject and colours... It is a subtle use of negative space but evidently because it didnt fill more than 1/2 the frame i think i got marked down...

Thanks. Nothing out of the ordinary - it was a lightroom conversion so there was some vibrancy added i suppose. Most of the colour was present in the first place (food dye fed to a split stem over a couple of days).

I'd agree with the border comment (you already have a light coloured surround to the shot in the site's colour scheme), it may look a bit better if you put a black "stroke" on the edge so the image doesnt bleed into the border (see light patch on the edge at lower 3rd on left hand side, and general light patches of grass at the bottom) - or you could just use the site's 1px "stroke" and pack more of a punch with more photo...

What is a Challenge without woody eh? Cant fault this except the focus plane making the mic slightly out of focus, but at this scale that would be hard to combat.

Great concept, not sure under the lighting conditions you could have done much better. Also not sure who might use this as stock ;)

Operators are Standing By

hrm... Grammar Police alert!!! "Standing On"?... "by" would be "next to" in this instance.
hehe - otherwise i like the individuality of the concept and the clean execution.

Nice idea, I even like the processing (which i think others may comment on as being a bad thing) shame it is a computer keyboard and not a phone tho...
