I really love this image. Fantastic use of negative space, excellent deep color, perfect highlights on the glass and bottle. For me there is nothing to critique.

I really like this shot. The composition is amazing...the lines that come in from the lower left hand corner, the face in the lower right, the face and hair in the upper right, fantastic. The lighting and DOF are both exquisite, each adding texture and depth to the subject. For me, this shot is bordering on perfect.

A Long Walk To Alcatraz
by GeneralE

Comment:
I'm intrigued by the way that the large blue area pushes my eyes to the left of the image. From there I follow the pier into the center of the image only to find the Golden Gate bridge off in the distance. I feel this image has some great composition and flow to it. I really like how the presence of the GG Bridge is minimized, yet featured by the composition.

Excellent photo, 9 (if I were a voter).

I was just sitting here looking at that picture saying "that looks exactly like the river at Oxbow Park...there's the gravel road and..." I then looked and saw that it was taken in Rochester, MN. Small world.

Great idea, perfect for an infinite contest! I like the idea of using tubing for this challenge although I can see that you had to use pliers (or a vise?) to get it bent around properly. Black and white was a good choice for this image, if for no other reason than it's a rather colorless subject.

I guess my only real critique of this image would be harsh shadow behind the tubing. It almost mimics the shape, which isn't a BAD thing but doesn't really add to the image (imho).

I hope this helps,

Back to the drawing board: Divide by zero = infinite

Heh, nice concept! I like how you have all the extra stuff in there, calculator, crumpled paper, open pen...especially the coffee stain! Interesting how the paper on top pretty much square with the frame of the image, almost like it's the only sane thing in the shot and it's being subjected to the insanity written on it. Bah, now I'm just rambling. Nice concept and execution!

The Möbius Loop

Excellent choice for a subject and great presentation. I too had thought of a mobius loop, but couldn't come up with a suitable way to represent it. The midtones in this shot are fantastic, subtle greys, wonderful highlights and great contrast with the black background. I like it!

Wow, those are some beautiful clouds! I like the subject, very interesting and has great depth to it. At first I thought I could see some lens flare in the middle of the image, but upon further inspection, it appears to be your cameras reflection in the glass. Of course with the sun shining in, it's almost impossible to avoid reflections like this. You did very well with the resources you had at your disposal. Nice shot!

How long is a piece of string?
by robsmith

Comment:
Interesting concept for infinity...I agree it fits well as does the high key lighting. I like how you've composed the string winding into the foreground and off to the background on the right. The way the string ball is wound adds an interesting texture to the image. Nice shot!
