The Intimidator

Not a bad concept, although this would probably work better in the miniature challenge that is running at the same time. The car is slightly out of focus/noisy.

I so like the relfection on the floor of this shot.

What kind of beetle is it?

This is a littel out of focus. Other then that, the image is a nice display of color. The capture of the lighting isn't bad either.

With a Rebel Yell

This shot isn't all that bad. It does suffer from a little washing out in a few spots, but that is darn difficult to avoid with the silvery coloration of the Digital Rebel.

With more of the camera showing, this would make a great advertisement shot, with less harsh lighting that is.

Peppercorn Blend

Very nice subject matter. It has a great deal of texture and color contrast.

Similar to my own shot, this might look better if shot at more of an angle. Instead of a 90 Degree straight into the Pepper, use a 45 or even 60 degree angle, which could add more DOF to the shot.

It could add more interest to this otherwise nice shot.

As it sits, I can see this hanging in someone's kitchen, not as a huge overwhelming piece, but maybe as a 4x6 or 2x3 image in a nice kitchen related frame.

NIce choice of black and white. The textures come out very nicely in this image.

This is a very nice shot. I like the shades of green. It has good DOF. I don't think that there is anything that I would change in this photo.

Weathered Iron

It's a good concept and a nice example of macro. However, the image doesn't jump out and get me so to speak. It's a little bland.

Very nice capture. I could almost see this hanging on a wall. I really like the way that the lighting hits these musthrooms.

The angle is also very cool. It lends the idea that this is a picture of a giant mushroom forest.

All I can about this is "eeeeww"

It is a nice example of a Macro shot, but is is wholly unappealing as a finished product.

This is a great shot. I really like the way the background to this image really works with a greyish almost graphite feel. It's a nice contrast to the pencil yellow.

The only thing I have to say is that it looks a little underexposed. It could also be that the Pencil Yellow is darker the brands I am used to. I like the texture of the wood around the graphite as well.

I would like to see this image a little larger, with less of the bottom part of the image and possibly in Black and White. It would be interesting to see the texture of the wood around in the pencil in B&W.
