Still life of shrimp with lemon

I quit eating shrimp too. :) Aside from the obvious wrong challenge comments, I think that the lighting and the composition are very nicely done.

Lily of the valley

Comment:
For this photo, I think that the lily of the valley are not necessary. They do not add anything to the photo and for being the subject they are a bit oof. Those leaves are beautiful and graceful enough. I do like the complimentary color contrast.

IMHO this photo is cropped a little weird. To improve the composition either crop out completely or include fully the reflection. Though for your title, maybe the former suggestion than the latter. The contrast between the vase and the flowers are beautiful. 7

Stoned Fruit

I really like how even the light is in this photo. The lighting works because you used such a dark background. The texture of the peaches(?) compared to the rock is really nice. 8

The textual aspect of this photo is really effective. The deep pink really makes the shot.

This probably won't fit most people's definition of a still life but I would include it. I just keep staring at it, finding new tones and shapes the more i do. Good Job of going out of the box.

Haute couture, "Love at First Sight"

This is a great moment caught in camera. I enjoy the tension that the two bird have with each other. I am wondering are the birds in love or are they going to fight. Saying that, I feel that this image does not really go with the challenge at hand. Now I am not saying that birds can't imply glamour or be glamorous. However, the subject of this image to me is the relationship which does not say "glamour"

Time For An Upgrade?

Why upgrade when one can just put some new duct tape on the car? That is one messed up door, I hope it is not yours. :) Glad that you cropped the photo this close, don't think the message would be as effective with a wider shot.

Smell! Pollute! Litter! Why should the others have all the fun?

The post processing makes this photo a little void of contrast. However, I think that the bus in the background is very interesting.
