Great great shot!!! Flower or not (which I am sure you will get gripes about lol) The blue in the background (obviously) works wonders with the yellow! A little editing outside the challenge and it will be a great print! 9 JeB

The structure has great potential for photos... I wish you would have chosen another shot without the rider in the background though :( JeB

Wow! What exactly are these? That's a neat neat texture whatever it is The large object in the top tight balances the photo quite well... could lightning have improved to actually cause more an eclipse effect? -8 - JeB

Neat subject... I wonder what this would look like from a lower (flatter?) perspective?

Tums

Comment:
Neat shot... I think this would look really good on a very neautral background/placing (white, 18% gray, etc.) I like how the tums are ranging in colors and the soft focus, making the center tums an excellent focal point. It's so close to being centered, but not quite centered that it seems like a bit of a mistake? Also, I think it would be more aesthetically pleasing to have the center tums to where it's more legible (right side up) - 6 - JeB

Ring of Light

This is my fav of the submissions thus far! I'm not sure I feel about the gradation of light from right to left. I think it would have been a stronger composition with an even amount of light (like what's on the top left) across the entire frame. This photo screams great use of negative space - but they darkness on the right takes away from that negative space, IMO. -9 - JeB

Iris and Pupil

Comment:
Love the high key features of this shot - the iris and pupil are definitely the focal point in this photo. - 8 -JeB

Ambience

Love the soft focus - the glow of this shot. Semi-circles and the main focal point circle work very well together. - 7 - JeB

Great capture - great clarity! I've not an expert on these shots - could the lightning have been improved to eliminate the shadows being cast?
