| a bit too much going on here... I'd suggest limiting your subjects to a few (one's without writing would be best). I'd like a sharper focus all around. |

| Image is out of focus. Also not obvious what the subject of this photo is. |

| A much deeper DOF should have been used here. |

| I gave this a four. It's a nice idea in terms of a theme but the lighting is very poor (looks like you relied soley on flash) and a great deal of the foreground is blurry. It looks like the sharp focus begins at the furthermost arm of the starfish. More care could have gone into arranging the still life. For instance, that book on Sea Star does not hold much visual interest. Nor does the souvenir Footprints sack. the starfish, a few shells, pebbles, and perhaps the painted sand dollar (to represent the souvenir aspect) would have been a much more pleasing arrangment. |

| More focus on the elements in front. The flash also flattens out your objects a lot. |

| Quite a bit of information in this image. If it was mine, I'd probably eliminate about 2/3rds and then make everything extremely sharp. But it is yours and it looks as if you assembled some nice memories here. |

| Since everything is lying still, I would consider not using a flash, but a tripod instead. Also a smaller aperture would keep everything in focus. |

| Lots of things I don't like about this I'm afraid. It ain't easy to be hard about something, but or the sake of the low score I'm going to give you I'm going to explain. The organisation of stuff is poor - there's such a lot going on, but nothing that specifically draws the eye - at one point it's the colour of one area, at another the shape of something, but then the focus and the depth of field take the eye from there and pull it elsewhere. The lighting (which appears to be simply on-board flash) leaves no great sense of texture in anything, and also seems to have washed out what colour there is in this image. Look carefully at the more succesful still life shots here - and try to notice something about the quality of light in them, and the simplicity of composition of subject-matter. There is no sense of organisation of subject here, and nothing to direct the eye, and this it scores a 1 from me. |

| The DOF seems a bit shallow to me, and the cropping a bit tight. |
