I like the colors, fits the challenge very well. Only thing I don't like is there seems to be a softness of focus on the Amptron and I generally like my words to be sharp - but that's just a personal preference.

Interesting view, lighting looks nice. Pretty dusty in there ;)

Dramatic photo, nice angle. The coloring really adds to the tone of the image, good light. Very sound photograph. 7

Peep Show

I like the perspective of this shot, the tree in the background gives the photo a bit of a story - can easily imagine this nut having dropped from it.. The sunlight coming in and giving that sheen would normally be a bit distracting but it works here for me. Good colors, very solid photograph. 7

Breaking Free from the Shell

Very nice rendition of the challenge. The broken nut is in great focus, I also like the use of the leaf as background, keeps it nicely organic. The color of the chestnuts? against the green leaf gives it a bit more pop as well. Well done. 7

Peeking

Wonderful image! The soft focus in the right hand corner is a bit distracting, but the frog's eyes keep drawing my attention away from it so the negative impact is much less than it could be. I do find the thicker border a bit too much, but the photo all together, lighting, subject works great for the challenge and as a photo on its own merit. Bumping up the vote one to an 8

Grandma's Secret Recipe

Nice idea! I'm guessing that's a wire whisk over top, if so it helps tie the whole cooking aspect of the piece together as well as adding a bit of a covering/barrier as if to keep some of the recipe hidden, at least that's what I got from it. I tend to not like photos that are mostly words, but this one works well. 7

The Blind Watchmaker

Nice solid photo. Everything appears to be in good focus, the gears as well as the numerals. The background, metallic look and border all work well together. Lighting is good as well. The unusual face of the watch adds to its general appeal. Good job! 7

Overpainted

Wonderful idea! I love the vivid primary colors playing off each other and the black. The hand seems a bit unfocused, but since my attention is drawn towards the paint cans, that isn't a huge deal for me. Great use of space as well. 7

Imprisoned Soul

Nice photo. Captures the essence of exposed very well, I even light the soft focus/lighting on the top of the box. I wish a little bit more of the bottom of the box (in front) was visible or more defined, but that may not have been possible. Great, unique idea. 7
