Bound to Each Other

This reads as an 'unhappy' bond. As if they have a child which keeps them together when they dont want to be. The clasped hands show the mutual decision to keep it together for the childrens sake. Creative idea and well lit.

I think this would have been better had the entire loop shown in the shadows. I like how the knot is the only part seen of the actual noose.

A lot of coils were done in this challenge but this one has an interesting shadow play.

bling rope

I'm glad someone thought to use the tie-back. I was thinking along these lines as well but don't have a single 'rope' style tieback in the house.
I like the S shape of the highlights on the rope but I dont care for the overbrightness of the image. The gold background, which I am assuming is drapery, is not working for me. I would also have liked to see the entire tieback and tassle with better focus.

The rope is forgotten with a face like that! That is one weird looking critter! I, however, felt the subject was not the rope.

I would have liked to see the eyes with more light.

Great-Great-Grandma's Button Box

My grandma has a very large tin and several old ball jars full of old buttons. She promised to leave them to me. This image brings back so many memories when I would play with them as a little girl. I can even remember the old smell as I would open the lid. I even recognize several in this image. What a fantastic treasure!

This image has great texture and colors. I imagine the lighting was a bit tricky with all those reflective white buttons.

I love the crackled surface the dish of ice cream is setting on. The background is seriously busy. If you pulled it forward and angled downward more to just have the ice cream on that crackled surface would have made a great shot. You also have mulitple light sources casting 3 different shadows. Something that I typically try to avoid. I'm no pro, but some suggestions that might come in handy next time.
