very nice composition and great color. the lighting isn't working for me though. its overexposed on one side and dulled by shadow on the other. i wish it was a tad sharper, too. still, a nice shot. i like the chaos of the arrangement.

if this were much much closer on the statue it might have worked as a still life, but as it is right now it doesn't do it. also, there appears to be a fair ammount of digital noise/pixelation happening in the sky.

interesting use of negative space. i'm on the fence about the sepia tone here. part of me thinks it works, part of me thinks it only serves to dull this image. maybe a white backround to further accent the sensuality of the subject?

nice use of negative space - i like the angle of the subject and the eay the strap comes back into frame to brake up the space in the bottom left corner. however, the subject doesn't really get any kind of response from me. i think that is the difference between a still life and a nice picture of an inanimate object. but well done all the same. it get a 6 from me - would have been higher if i had an emotional response from it.

Oriental Dolls on Black Velvet

i think there is a bit too much negative space here. interesting choice of subject. i don't know if the all black backround is helping entirely either. the closer and longer i look, the more i am able to barely make out that there are folds in the velvet cloth they are standing on. until i saw this, which is not really apparant, it looked as though these dolls were just floating. i gave it a 7

cute, and a nice composition, but the red pins kind of ruin it.

the black backround is fine but the cans could have used some more light, andmaybe a few more to better convey the sense of their infinity.

very nice.

Yellow Ribbon

Comment:
the distance here is too short to convey a sense of infinity. it actually gives more of a sense of the lines ending short. a more symetrical angle on the shot would have helped as well. either that, or exagerate the anlge so that it goes off into the distance of the corner.

How long is a piece of string?

a tad overesposed i think - i can't really see the upper left corner of the ball for the white wall behind it. nice idea, though.
