One of the best concepts, great B&W tones although the ground in the bottom right hand corner looks a bit out of place as it has much higher contrast than anywhere else

"Soon the Hunt Will Begin..."

Interesting lighting and works well because of the black backdrop - any small distracting background elements would have ruined this. If only the figure was position more to the left

Great lighting and lovely tones. Very festive too and so this should be popular. Interesting choice of duotone hue, Christmas not often associated with cold colours, more the traditional warm golden / red tones of a roaring fireplace or something - however it works so well here. Well composed and not spoilt by any complicated distracting background elements.

Not a fan of the lighting and you have ended up with burnt out highlights and shadows; there is perhaps even a bit of chromatic aberration creeping which isn't ideal. Well composed and the crop rotation adds interest

He was unwanted and unloved but now he's my new best friend

Well lit, nice and simple, no complicated background to distract the eye, well focused and good tonal range. However, the relative low difficulty factor might mean that some voters score a bit on the low side

Spa Ducky

Comment:
Quite a simple shot well executed but probably has too low a difficulty factor to score highly. Good sharpness on the head of the duck but the surface itself is quite busy and so you almost have two unrelated subjects. Perhaps a simple, neutral environment in which the place the brightly coloured duck would work better for me

The composition seems a little awkward somehow, the text is very near to the bottom, you can see a very small amount of text just to the left of the "S" in Sun which could have been cropped out. I think that perhaps a simple macro of the sparks and motherboard without the case, text and blue surface in shot would have been a lot cleaner. The same simplification process could also be applied to the title, just "Negative Feedback" would have been spot on.

Lovely macro and golden tones. So many choices of where to place the focal point, I imagined you might have tried the tip of the arm but perhaps you went for this one instead because that might have ment only a very small area of the image was in focus so you did the right thing doing what you did. The image seems a little noisy though, perhaps its just my dislay but I would have thought you would have used a tripod and the lowest ISO possible and gotten perfect quality

I'm guessing you have done this arrangement to make the subject look like something but your title is not really helping me. Looks like it could be in the shape of a flower perhaps? A rotation ccw to square up the main body would have made this work better IMO

Seen something very similar in the popcorn challenge and so unfortunately for me, this have lost some of its impact. Good colours though, sharp eyes and well composed and given your title it fits quite nicely and is nice not to have to vote on a still life
