PENNY A TUNE by keithh

Great composition, really makes you think about possible scenarios ............. well thought out from the lit oil lamp and the three coins to the smoking pipe, superb still life!!!

Love in a shadow. by NeilWigan

Nicely composed, lovely shadows and shapes and the sepia toning works well; if I was being 'picky' I'd like a little more space at the top and that solid dark shadow top left is really annoying, but both those issues could be easily dealt with ............ so overall very well done and like it alot.

Victoriana by NEWMANP

Great use of textures and a beautifully 'rescued' shot, worth blowing out if it caused you to create this.

the Stony Sleep by MichaelBilottaPhotography

Great image, very atmospheric, and an unusual pose for statuary in a church I would have thought ....... and many thanks for the description foreword, so important and something so many miss out!!!

Well done! - Jenni

Still III by DeLone

Another great still life, not quite sure about the 'tilting' tray, but it does add some lovely reflections so it certainly works in that respect.

chocolate cosmo by Russell_Charles

Another beauty, Russell, I agree with above comments about more light in the middle; I know that is sometimes difficult to achieve with lighting, especially with this sort of colour, but if I've got this problem I sometimes do a well feathered selection of the middle of the flower and use a levels layer on just that selection in ps to achieve the desired result. Not sure about the vignette, don't whether it's the colour or whether I'd prefer the plain background - trial and error on that I think .............. sorry this has turned out a bit long, but you did ask for 'critique'; anyway all of that does not detract from the beauty of the image and the lovely simplicity of it's presentation.
