Thirsty - Julie S Johnson

Technique: 32 Impact: 32 Composition: 31

Good set-up! The image is nice and clean and I like the rim light on the glass as well as the black background.

Color A On Topic

Violin - Tom Buckard

Judge: Denise Bush Total Score: 94

Technique: 32 Impact: 31 Composition: 31

Beautiful lighting. The black background adds a richness and I like the addition of the rose. If this were my image I would crop in just a bit closer because there is so much black.

Color A On Topic

White Orchid - Bill Down

Judge: Denise Bush Total Score: 92

Technique: 32 Impact: 31 Composition: 29

Interesting and unique image with a 'neighborly' feel! I have seen these balls advertised on FB and feel the maker utilized it well here. I like the sharp/unsharp aspect. There is a sliver of black at the bottom of the frame, easily corrected.

Grandma's Parlor Window - Carol A Hughes

Judge: Denise Bush Total Score: 98

Technique: 33 Impact: 32 Composition: 33

I love the old-time feel here! Great set-up, composition, lighting and exposure. This image 'speaks to me'! Kudos on receiving the highest points in this set. I hope those who received lower points are paying attention! * Note that the thumbnail in the results list for this image looks incorrect!

My Parents' Married Life - Deborah Painter

Judge: Denise Bush Total Score: 96

Technique: 32 Impact: 32 Composition: 32

This is an interesting and thoughtful still life ... great job. Not just a single object but many giving us a lot to look at and absorb ... the image tells a story!

Color B On Topic

Making Bread - Carol A Hughes

Judge: Denise Bush Total Score: 94

Technique: 32 Impact: 31 Composition: 31

Thought and preparation went into making this still life. I like the vignetting of the background. Very sharp and well executed!

Color B On Topic

Rose on Mirror - G Daniels

Judge: Denise Bush Total Score: 89

Technique: 30 Impact: 29 Composition: 30

Because the maker arranged this single rose on a mirror it is more acceptable for the theme that some other close-ups. The lighting on the rose works beautifully. You might want to remove the blue horizontal streak upper right. (I have a very good monitor!)

Color B On Topic

Daydream Believer - Joan V Smith

Judge: Denise Bush Total Score: 88

Technique: 30 Impact: 29 Composition: 29

I like how the window light accents the colorful flower arrangement here. I would add some dark vignetting as it seems there's a bit of flare in the corners. The vignetting would mask that and help pull the eye in even more.

Mono A On Topic

MONICA'S HAT - Kathy Buckard

Judge: Denise Bush Total Score: 97

Technique: 32 Impact: 33 Composition: 32

Even though the hat is a single object, it has been chosen wisely and placed in a very deliberate setting and composition. B&W is a very good choice here. I don't think I would like it as well if it were in color.

Last Gasp - Julie S Johnson

Judge: Denise Bush Total Score: 94

Technique: 31 Impact: 32 Composition: 31

A very minimalistic still life and I like it very much. The vase, tulip, position and lighting are a very deliberate arrangement.

Hatman - Julie S Johnson

Judge: Denise Bush Total Score: 93

Technique: 30 Impact: 32 Composition: 31

Cute idea. The pose and direction of the figure has a good deal of influence here. At first I thought I might like him facing inward but I like breaking the rule here. He looks dejected and contemplative. It is hard to tell if this is truly monochrome or sepia.

Mono A On Topic

Antique candle holder - Bill Down

Judge: Denise Bush Total Score: 90

Technique: 30 Impact: 29 Composition: 31

I like the limited depth of field here. We can see enough of the other objects and table to know that it belongs. Good lighting and B&W tones.

Date Night - Deborah Painter

Judge: Denise Bush Total Score: 97

Technique: 32 Impact: 32 Composition: 33

Beautiful high key image and brilliant complement to its low key companion. Beautiful details throughout these wonderful artifacts!

Going Out with My Gal - Deborah Painter

Judge: Denise Bush Total Score: 96

Technique: 31 Impact: 32 Composition: 33

I get it ... the gal's dresser on date night and now the guys! Brilliant concept! Print these, frame them and hang them side by side! One is low key and the other high key! (This one scored a point lower because I would like to see more detail in the darks.) Now this is imagination and what I'm talking about! Sharp where it needs to be too! Kudos!

Firehose - G Daniels

Judge: Denise Bush Total Score: 94

Technique: 30 Impact: 32 Composition: 32

Hmmm ... kind of a still life/abstract ... a found 'arrangement'. This is a good find on the photographer's part and I like how they framed and isolated the layers of hose to create a more artistic image. I suppose the purpose of 'still life' is to create art.

Tomato Frog - Scott A Elliott

Judge: Denise Bush Total Score: 90

Technique: 31 Impact: 30 Composition: 29

This is a good example of a background suiting the object ... I thought it was real at first. Also an example of how to take someone else's artwork and change it in a way to represent some of yourself. Good lighting and sharpness. * I wouldn't think added names would be allowed in a competition such as this but have not been informed what the OCC policy is.

Woodworker - Tom Murray

Judge: Denise Bush Total Score: 88

Technique: 31 Impact: 28 Composition: 29

Good subject elements and relative background. With some skill and care perhaps the label inside the planer could be removed.

Put Your Record On - Dan Smith

Judge: Denise Bush Total Score: 94

Technique: 31 Impact: 31 Composition: 32

Very nice subject. The window, curtains, doily and old table relate to the subject to make this a strong still-life whether set up or found.

Spring Sake - Judy A Vaughn

Judge: Denise Bush Total Score: 93

Technique: 30 Impact: 31 Composition: 32

Very nice, fitting the still life theme. This could also be a product photograph in a catalog but it is more thoughtful than just photographing an object because of the stone and flower. I like the warm lighting/processing.

Native Arts - Judy A Vaughn

Judge: Denise Bush Total Score: 92

Technique: 31 Impact: 30 Composition: 31

Nice set-up and choice of objects we have not seen in this competition. I like the inclusion of the rock and stones. Nice lighting and colors. The image could also work as a product photograph ... a very nice one! There are a couple of spots on the black right, easily remedied.
