Salt and Pepper

Cropping could use some work (and maybe composure). The left side is not even with the right side. I mean that the distance from the left edge of the pepper and the right side to the edge are not the same. And for the upper left corner, if the dark spot was not there it would have better balance.

not peas again....

Good color and textures of the peas. Lighting seems to be bright. It works ok in this shot but I would have preferred softer lighting for a shot like ths (macro). Also, I think the shadows in the backgroud (near the top) are distracting. Looks like you added noise to the image and it looks good. 7

I can make out 1 of 2 items in this image and one is ice. Not sure what the other things is. I wish I knew what it was so I could score this higher. Based on the ice alone, it is a very good shot. Excellent details on the ice surface and realistic color.

The left and right profile images lack contrast and depth. Very creative idea, though!

Excllent image! Great color in the eyes and skin. Looks like the hair was part of the blurred DOF so I won't deduct from there although it would be so much better if they were in sharp focus. I think it could use a smidgen of cropping off the left side to eliminate the small blue corner in the upper right. Plus I think this would look nicer with a slimmer profile. It would concentrate the viewers' focus on the girls face especially the eyes. 9.

Umm, I'm pretty sure it was unintentional but the boy has his middle finger raised up. Otherwise, good effort.

Nice shot and composition. I also like the reflections from the bell onto the sheet music. Great job. I just find the reflection in the bell a bit distracting (greenish blob). 8.

Looks like a selective radial blur was applied to the rest of the glasses. Nice effect, nonetheless. But it looks like your background "horizon" is not level even though it is curved.

I like the earthy tones. This would have been great for the textures challenge, too! Good job with the application of DOF. What is this anyway? packing material?
