never exposed for long!

I really like the slight crumpling of the wrapper. The black background shouldn't really work, but it does - enveloping the whole scene in cosy darkness (ideal for choc-munching). For a real ad shot, I think the client would have demanded everything a micro-dab sharper.

This could so easily have ended up an over-busy, over-coloured and unfocused shot. But it isn't. It is a really cheery splash of colours, with a challenge-relevant title.

Beautifully lit. I love it. Or do I love the subject? Either way, you should go to prison for not inviting us to tidy-up your studio afterwards.

I don't often bother looking closely at city shots. The thumbnail is usually quite sufficient. But this really drew me for a closer look. I don't like the person just entering the frame, or the blurriness of one of the vehicles in particular. I do like the inclusion of light-coloured vehicles which brighten the overall cosy darkness of the scene.

What could have been a fairly dull shot has been transformed by your use of that powerful shade of blue. Your use of a small amount of shadow adds just enough dimension, but keeps the image bright and "clean". Fab!

circle of a pearl

Excellent choice of background. What could have been a confusing all-in-view line of pearls have been distinctly separated by smart use of aperture. Even the twinkly colours all round the metalwork are very pleasing, complementary and not distracting.

Flow

Comment:
An absolutely beautiful choice of location for a flowing water shot. I think this exposure is spot-on - a longer exposure would have robbed us of that dynamic gushing of the water. A very minor negative - I find the thick, dark border unpleasant - enclosing and claustrophobic. But the photo is excellent.

This is very nicely cropped. And the lack of colour really enhances the engineering aspects of the engine.

Lovely. Relevant. Sound exposure and use of colours.

Funny. Relevant to challenge. Obviously laid-out with care, but I am certain this guy/gal could have given us a more inspired setting. Soundly lit and exposed.
