Good shot. I like how the lighting catches the granules of sugar. I think the background is very complimentary to the colors of the candies. The way they are spaced draws me right to the bunch near the goblet and makes me want to reach out and grab some.

Twine String Burning

Great texture on the twine. I don't think the burning adds anything to the picture as a whole and especially not to the texture aspect of it. 6

I haven't got a clue what this is supposed to be a picture of. Way too dark.

I think a brighter day would have yielded a better picture. Still a good shot that conveys the title well.

Urban Legend

It is most unfortunate that e301 was critical of the subject matter, just because HE didn't get it. Perhaps is was a US thing. While I appreciate all the good things about the global participation on this site, nothing in the wording of the challenge, or rules, suggest that a photographer should research the scope of understanding of the subject matter. Almost anyone in the US who can remember the 80's would remember this urban legend. For more info on it, see //www.snopes.com/horrors/freakish/poprocks.htm

It took me less than a minute to put the elements together, and my reaction, like many others, was LOL. That urban legend, and few others, are very much a part of the 80's that I lived through.

Interesting shot, hope your comments explain how you did that. But... the subject of the shot is the person, not the shadow. I think it would have been more appropriate for the challenge, and even a more interesting shot, if you had cropped the person out.

The Crow in The Cemetery

"Quoth the raven, 'Nevermore'." Edgar Allen Poe This is cold, chilling, ominous, a reminder of our mortality, cause to pause and reflect. On top of all that, it is well composed and beautifully processed. The converging headstones could go on for... eternity. 10

Great shot. Really creates a mood. My guess is that it could create different moods in different people, depending on where they are. I guess the word is "emotive". I like solitary places, especially at dawn or dusk. I was doing a quick scan through the challenge, not intending to vote or comment yet, but I had to stop at this one.
