Charissa - this small section makes the viewer want to see more because of the beautiful colors of this plant. I think the phone image is very nice - good textures and shadows. I love today's phones - they are so handy. A camera lens would have probably allowed us to see more of the plant, and allow a crop to eliminate some of the cream-colored empty space. |

Awwww. He is just perfect - beautiful pose, no motion, room to look into, you can see both ears and whiskers, and there is even a catch light in his eye. The only thing that might enhance the image is a tiny bit of sparkle on his coat. He is just beautiful. |

You have proved a little-believed fact here - you DON'T have to have fancy lighting to do still lifes. I have been using window light, flashlights, bathroom light, eetc. for years, especially for close-ups with construction paper curved backgrounds. It all works. Just like in your picture - the subject is well-lit, the shadows are just right, and the background is pleasing and even. Nice shot. |

This is going to sound weird - but I think this is beautiful, and if I had thought of it, I would have arranged more radishes into a tight wreath, placed a red bow on it and used it for a Christmas card. Wouldn't that be a wonderful and unusual card? No one else would have one, and recipients would get a kick out of it, I am sure.
It is really nicely done - the shadows are missing, so it is very stark, but that allows those beautiful roots to play together. Nice shot! |

Oh my goodness Nadia. This is wonderful. What a nice complex creation. The balance is so good here - all the giraffes and greenery is on the left, but completely facing into the wasteland. The fresh white shades you used on the animals contradicts the parched land and trees. And the unrest from the landscape is echoed by your treatment of the sky, but is given relief by the serenity of the animal scene. I wish I could claim this one - It is really good! |

Tom - I especially like the color change to the tan tomes - we all feel more like that than the fresh green as we age. But the blur is what really gets me - like memories that fade away from us. Makes me not want to get old. (Which I planned to NEVER DO! OOPS - it happened anyway!!) |

The bottom is falling out, isn't it? When I looked at this - I think I actually got it! But, for me, the white around the glasses took my mind away from the mystique of the artwork. I like the angle of the white box and the glasses, but maybe a different color in the box would not be so distracting. I love the thin white line around the work. Think about extending the stroke at the bottom of the box, leaving everything where it is, and extending just the dipping section of the water down until is spills over the boundary of the box into 'eternity'. That's what came to my mind. |

Hazel - I agree - if the candle were lit, the swirl would need to be a warm shade and around the flame. This way, I like the "snowy" feel of the swirling - like clouds around the arrangement. And I like the opacity of it. I think you did a nice job with creating this background - it goes well with the candle too. |

First - getting the night sky shot is to be celebrated - I wish I couldd do just that part. But I think the idea os including your silhouette in the photo makes it really personal and a bit mystical. I think this one is very good. I might either enhance the light a bit on the foreground, OR crop that part out. |

Oh Haru - I REALLY like this one, and for a very strange reason. First - the black/white "arguement" is just wonderful. There is just enough shadows in the footsteps to give the image depth. Then there is that lovely shadow of unseen trees on the right. For me - this creates a complete story of 2 opposite forces battling each other for rule of this space. Each is very strong, so no one part wins, and they seem to be playing together. The use of the plain negative space even makes it more intense. I just love this one. Thank you. |

Hi Ed. I agree that it is a little busy, but I tried removing each tree individually, and it did not work. It really has to be the trio. However, I really like the MOOD of the photo. My eye is drawn to that left-had tree, and the bark confuses me - it may be an accumulation of snow on the trunk, but it makes that trunk look out of focus or blurry. I just wish that there were some hills and valleys in the snow on the ground to give the image some dimension. |

I think the captire is very strong and really has a lot of impact. It's not quite monochrome, though. |

Hi Mark - you want an honest opinion. Mine is - WOW. This thing has so much impact, it is remarkable. For me it is the starkness, but also the "narrowness" of the subject. If it were mine I would crop off the top 1/4 of the blank white, to put the subject more in toward the center to really accentuate its power. Wish this were mine! |
