Mid Air

This looks rather overexposed. There is almost no detail. There are too many hot spots (the bright flares of lights on the balls). The composition seems rather haphazard. I have no idea what game this represents.

Fumbled - On the Bench

There is very little separation between the subject and the background making for a very busy composition. The subject has some appeal but this arrangement is rather mundane.

The drawings have some graphic appeal but not enough to make this an interesting subject for a still-life.

Miami!

This is a very cluttered arrangement. The logo and the color tie the objects together but nothing else is harmonious in this composition. The lighting is very flat. There is very little sense of space or depth. The eye doesn't know where to rest. Keep trying.

After the Big Game

This is a very mundane arrangement of a mundane subject. The most interesting thing about this photo is that the black and white chair echoes the black and white ball. the bottle of water ruins this effect and just looks like clutter.

The Basketball

I don't understand the purpose of including the feet of an action figure in this photo. Keep trying.

This flat white wall and uphostered chaird is a poor choice of background for this subject. If you can't place your subject in context than it would be better to have a very simple background. This is kind of a mundane arrangement. It doesn't make a lot of sense. Why place one skate on the arm of the chair instead of resting it near its partner. The lighting is very straightforward and dull. Sepia does not improve this poor image. I wish I could say something more positive. Keep trying.

Speed of Light

I gave you a five on this. I figured you used multiple sources of light to get such a good commercial looking shot. I was kind of bored by the subject, thus the 5. There was some stiff competition in this challenge so the curve was a little steeper but this was a very good studio shot that you should be happy with.

I liked this photo quite a bit and if I had been using my current voting methods for this challenge (didn't know I could revise votes for one thing) I probably would have scored it higher than the 6 I gave it.

I caught the opposite right away. The title helps without nailing the viewer over the head (although judging by some of the comments, it seems some people need to be slapped in the face with an idea before they get it).

I like the slight over exposure on the faces. I think it heightens the slight skewing of reality for the viewer. The tilted format achieves this as well. I don't know if you intended this but that's how it works for me.
I like how their black clothes disappear into the background. The models are beautiful.

Here's one I missed. I really should have voted on all the Centered entries. I keep discovering new ones.
This is really FAB-ulous. It would be incredible blown up really large. Love the square format. Love the guady, glitzy rainbow colors. Why be too-too precious about a flower? Need I mention the great lighting and sharp focus?

Super! Sorry I missed voting on it.
