These are interesting parts, but the paper and the table edge are distracting from your subject. Perhaps try reshooting and resubmit. The lighting and shadows might be very interesting. Just my opinion. Good luck.

This was one of those "learning experiences," where you stupidly forget to get EVERYTHING away from around what you are photographing, and then end up stuck with odd bits...lol! Your comment is spot on, and I will try to pay better attention next time. Thank you very much!

Nice sharp photo, but I feel something more interesting could have been done with those parts.

Agreed, friiskiwi, but the several more "formal" arrangements I tried just looked horribly contrived and "artificial." In the end, I just put them together to capture their unique shapes and interesting assembly.

This photography stuff is definitely harder than one would think!

An other fantastic self portrait. I'm in awe.

Awesome lighting - I am sorry you don't have running water in your part of the world though lol

Very nice -- great lighting and compsition

Wow fantastic

only one person on the bench and in photo is allowed

Nice one! Almost missed seeing the bench...LOL!

That's either a really huge guy, or a really small bench

Nice shot author, you need to remove the border though, otherwise it will get removed from the contest.

Oh oops thanks for telling me. I'll fix that - thank you

sweet

Cute kid... looks pretty relaxed
