CD Circles

Comment:
Relevance to challenge (2): 0.5 - I don't see any circles, only ellipses.
Color/Lighting/Exposure (2): 0.5 - dull and plain
Sharpness/Picture Quality (2): 0.5 - whole picture is small and needs sharpening
Composition (2): 0.5 - Well centered, maybe a higher angle would have helped.
Creativity/Originality (2): 1 - Interesting concept, brighter and sharper might make a good stock photo.

First Circle of the Day
by DeniseBernadette

Comment:
Relevance to challenge (2):0.5, not a two simply because at this angle the circles are ellipses.
Color/Lighting/Exposure (2): 1 - I would lhave liked to have seen what this looks like with warmer darker lighting, maybe not putting cream in the cup would have made it darker and warmer as well.
Sharpness/Picture Quality (2): 2 - very nice, everything is sharp and in focus
Composition (2): 1.5 - I like the line of the coffee being poured on the left third, I think the whole thing might have been a little better positioned if the cup was on the lower third and maybe more of the pitcher in the picture as well if you would have moved the whole crop higher.
Creativity/Originality (2): 1.5 - I like it.

Stand Pipe
by nruter

Comment:
Relevance to challenge (2): 1 - Cirlces are present but not dominant
Color/Lighting/Exposure (2): 0.5 - Lighting/shadows are harsh and distract from the photo. The bright orange of the pipes doesn't blend well with the other colors
Sharpness/Picture Quality (2): 1.5
Composition (2): 0.5 - downward angle on the wall feels awkward, a tighter crop might have a better feel.
Creativity/Originality (2): 0.5 - The bright orange of this pipe is eyecatching but otherwise not very exciting.

Nice background color. A little more DOF would have got a higher score from me.

I like this pic and now it relates to the challenge. This one almost seems to be begging for a funny word balloon and made into a birthday greeting card - and I mean that in a good way. I like the composition and how the mower is at a slight angle. the highlights seem a little blown out to me and it might benefit from tighter cropping, especially off the top.

Typerwriter Typebars

The best typewriter picture i've seen in this contest so far. I like the colors. I like the purple and blue lighting. Cropping the blurred part of the forground would have made this one look just a little bit better to me.

The best of the several LP photos in this contest i've seen so far, nice job. I like the black on dark color/mood of this shot.
