I love that you had people present to accentuate just how tall these trees are and the mist adds a kind of mysterousness to the forest.

I love the shot but it would have been nice if the little tyke didn't get so lost in the dark shadows.

All in all a nice shot but I would have liked it better off-center with the grapes to the left more.

The colors and lighting are wonderful in this shot, but it lacks in overall appeal. The green cloth draping the basket (or whatever you have the produce resting on) is bland (the cucumbers disappear into it) and you can see little bits of it peeking out at the bottom. Tthe placement is neither directly center or off-center enough to seem purposeful.

The wall on the right detracts from the otherwise peaceful feeling of this shot. Perhaps it was intended to cause the viewer to reflect upon the intrusiveness of man upon nature, but in this case, I think I would have liked the photo better without it.

With both the foreground and background being so soft in the focus, instead of wanting to linger on this photo, my inclination is to quickly move on because it hurts my eyes. I understand that your focal point is the middle of the frame, but it doens't work veyr well. Otherwise, I do like the shot. Had you zeroed in on the obect in the background, or maybe a bug or something in the fore, it would have worked much better, I think.

This is beautiful. The brightness of the acorn against the dark background really brings out the color. One of my favorites!

If your title didn't say what this was, I would have never guessed. Funky colors. Certainly not something I would have attributed to a lobster. I'm trying to decide whether or not I like the lighting or if it seems a little dark, but I think the fact that you are making me sit here pondering it is a good thing. It certainly is interesting.

I have to admit, I almost didn't even view this photo because the thumbnail did little to intrigue me. Seeing it full size, I appreciate more what you were trying to achieve. It is an interesting use of light and water to create an unique concept for the challenge. I like the individual droplets seen in the dark area at the top. In this case, leaving that sliver of unfilled space actually enhanced your shot rather than detracting from the value of keeping within the fill the frame theme. I'm afraid it's still not one of my favorite shots but I'm glad I took the time to inspect it further.

Although this is nicely shot, I don't think it quite fits the theme of the challenge. A close up is not quite the same as fill-the frame and I think in this case, by cutting off just one portion of the focal point while leaving the rest fulling in frame detracts from the overall composition of the photo. I do like how you obtained so much detail in the character of the cork giving it depth and interest.
