This is a fantastic idea and a superb shot technically. I can't fault lighting, exposure or sharpness. But, I do feel that the subject area looks a little too busy. Although you have followed all the rules of still life to perfection, I think fewer objects would have improved the shot dramatically. For example, to the right of the beer bottle – above the dice / dominos – there is another jar of some kind, but I can't make out what it isâ€Â¦ This may sound a little pedantic, but it certainly – in my opinion – takes a lot away from the overall shot. I really like the balance of the shot and the colours blend together really well. (8) Yes, despite what I say as a critic, I still think it's a class capture – just not quite perfectâ€Â¦

Coolâ€Â¦ Great shot, weird but wonderfulâ€Â¦ The only gripe I have relates to the extreme top corners. I know this is a tiny area, but it is does drag the eye away. The corners are incongruous to the rest of the image, and although tiny, cropping them, in my opinion, would have enhanced what is otherwise a perfect picture. (9) Great shootingâ€Â¦

Macabre but outstandingâ€Â¦ This is a superbly composed and dramatically lit shot. The reflection is subtle and hard to make out until you see what it is – then it becomes obvious. This is one of those shots that grabs you by the neck and drags you inâ€Â¦ Brilliant photography (10)

Reflection without mirror
by prkemby

Comment:
This is good, really good. The composition makes the image look like the objects are carefully balanced rather than reflected - and the lighting effect is just superb. The much darker surrounding objects add to the balanced effect – you have to look really closely to see any reflection there. If I were being cynical, I'd say you have used a mirror and cleverly disguised the fact. But, I have spent the last 20 minutes trying to decide, but can't – so, I'd have to say, wicked shot (10) – thanks for making this shot really interestingâ€Â¦

Sky High

Comment:
Nice shot, but I think you should have cropped it to only show the window frames. This would have created less conflict within the symmetry. The reflection of the sky really works well, but seeing so much of the building draws the eye away from the reflection, the central theme, and changes the composition of subject to the building itself, and not the reflection. Try cropping it down to just the windows and see what you thinkâ€Â¦ (5)

This is a great shot with a small, but jump in your face flaw. You should have – in my opinion – cropped the bottom left corner. It's like a magnet, pulling my eyes away from the main subject. OK, so, that's not a big point, but for me it almost kills the effect of the colours - and they really work well - and the sharpness of the overall image (which is first class). I also think the title gives too much away, letting people work things out for themselves can often make a person look at a picture for longer – works like that for me. Only my opinion, good luckâ€Â¦ (5)

I like the idea, but I think you should have included the entire window frame and either tilted the camera angle dramatically or remained completely level. Straight lines in a shot will add calm and diagonals will add drama. Mixing both often doesn't work. This shot is a little halfway between the two worlds. Having pointed out the bad bits, I think the idea is sound, the texture of the window frame works really well, it adds a lot of depth to the shot and the colours all work well togetherâ€Â¦ (4) Sorry to score this so lowâ€Â¦ Keep shootingâ€Â¦
