Orange/yellow reflections, but the majority of the picture is red. The metal bowl really distracts and the bright white spots on the left side do as well. If the whole background were black like the upper left corner and everything was sharper (not just the metal bowl in focus), the score would have been bumped up. Score: 3

Turning it into a "negative" is not taking an interesting picture or an orange picture. It is pinkish-brown. Also, put the subject off to one side or the other, don't center it. I do like your use of the ripples though. Score: 3

So many parallells! Beautiful cityscape and great use of a tall panoramic style space. The dusk lighting works perfectly with the street lamps to create the colors. Awesomely crisp and clear.

It looks like a product shot! Lol. The DOF and blur are wonderful, not to mention the shadows. Great lighting job.

Sepia tone and DOF are perfect. The sharpness is amazing and I love the graduated lighting/background as well as the shadows.

Wow. The color is fabulous and the use of the curves is superb. It makes you almost dizzy if you scroll past too fast. The use of the shadow was a great idea, double the effect.

Awesome use of negative space and color. I might have liked to have them more to the left or to the right (rule of thirds), but it works great as it is.

Blue Stairway

Great cropping and focus. I'm not sure how it would come out, but what if you tried desaturating this and having just the blue staircase remain in color?

Awesome idea and cropping. Great DOF. The color does seem too bland though, a boost of contrast might bring out the red in the match heads.
