Very nice shot here. Great focus and DOF. Love the way the lines compliment each other. I think I would have tried to crop out or move around so that all the floating stuff in the foreground wasn't there...

Vase

From the Critique Club

Things I like: I love the (positive feel of the) use of negative space here! I love the simplicity of the composition. I like the cool tones of the subject itself. I like many of the compositional elements of the shot.

Things I don't like: There are some strange lines in the vase itself that I think kind of detract from the otherwise simple feel of this shot. I think (but have never tried to shoot this type of subject) that if you chose an ever so slightly different angle that these would go away or become more interesting (one or the other.) This subject doesn't hold a great deal of interest for me so while I find it a very cool subject for study (I'm gonna try and find a similar object to study myself...), it doesn't really have staying power IMHO.

Wow, this has got to be one of the better shots. I don't know what the heck it is suposed to be, but it's beautiful. Nice complimenting contrasts. Nice tones too!

PS: I don't see the logic...

Sundew: Tiny Carnivore - Macro

Comment:
The focus just seems a touch off here. Colors are very nice as are the textures. I could tell it was a macro though without the hint...

Grape Cooler

Comment:
This shot makes me worry about the snow pictures I want to take (if it ever really snows here like it\'s supposed to....) The grapes and vines are damn near perfect, but the snow is hard to focus on. Over exposed?
Overall a nice image that could be great with a few more tries...

The Old Brown Bridge
by brownt

Comment:
This would be an interesting shot to play around with angles and perspectives. The way you did this shot is the typical angle used. Next time try puttting the camera closer to the ground (below the level of the rails). You'll get a totally different feel. This might not have worked for this challeng though as it would take emphasis away from the water. Nice tones here. The bridge almost looks like it was oversharpened a touch though.

Personal Paradise

Very nice in an almost surreal kind of way. The white spot center left is a little distracting. It wants to draw my eye there. Selectively adjusting the levels on that spot may (or may not, I'm still learning advanced ps techniques) help with this.

Too small and too soft in the foreground.

The Morning After The Night Before
by dan_pendleton

Comment:
Is that an Alka Seltzer? I thought about trying something like this but ran out of time (and Alka Seltzer too now that I think about it...) Nice clarity on the bubles behind the wafer, but the wafer itself seems a little soft (because of the tiny bubbles?) Also, I would have cropped out the waterline or up to include it. It looks accidental this way...
