I like this except seeing the camera in the glass.

This is one of my favorite shots for this challenge, would've helped if I couldnt see you (no offense lol)

Good use of duotones. But it could have been a sharper image.

Very cheap macro. I've done this myself, and it really does work. I love the black and white treatment. If you can do a color balance adjustment, see how this one works with more brown and tan tones.

Nice use of DOF. The B&W works well.

This nearly meets the challenge - inanimate and arranged - but more of a theme than a visual composition.

I like the set up except your reflection in the magnifying glass.

Nice spin on the 'chess shot' I like the idea, even like your reflection. I might have pushed the curves a bit more on the contrast, but that's just a personal taste. :)

Great photo...would be better if your reflection weren't in the magnifying glass.

Whoa! Do you see the 2 little eyes & frowning face on the pawn? He's watching me!
