Other images in order of merit:
- Happy Reflections - Nice exposure, nice composition, nice post work. Nice
- Knife - Topic is subtle. Colours are nice. Contrast works. Artistic in whole.
- Daggers - Looks like a fair bit of work has gone into this. And I bet there were a few that went into the
trash. The result looks good but I would have liked a little more flair in the composition.
- Grain Girl - Dont like the grain or the shadow across the face. Rear flash adds some great pop.

Martin's submission notes:
Fuuuuuxing flash.......... Wish I had another 2.
Not much going on with these slim pickings. All
cropped, curves, colours.

- Painted GTI was hit 4 times - once with a
green gel from rear as you can see to give
it some flavour.

go crazy with shots as I am losing my mo-jo without my
wingman!

Sean's Pick - score and comments: Hookah
All ridey then,
Not that many to chew through this month but glad to see them arrive all the same!
Ok here we go – A toss up this month between your shots “Painted GTI” & Hookah but in the end had to
award the gong to Hookah by comparison. The visual impact, colours and composure of this shot get this
baby over the line. I am unsure if the flash is behind the bottle or you have it inside but all the same the
control of spill off is well controlled with good use of props to add to the package.
Some smoke at the top would have only improved the shot in my eyes. Nice one.

- Painted GTI, I am wanting more of that blood red sky or either a cropped right hand side here.
Seems a bit hot on the front flash (may be what you wanted?) love the use of the gels, yes that
green works brilliantly – it’s a close second don’t get me wrong. Perhaps the head lights on would
have added some life to this image with a slight lower shooting angle.
- Dusty Glassware. A bit creepy here, looks like what is in the bottom of Dracula’s coffin, would have
loved to see one of the glasses half full with some blood red port in the decanter to impart the age /
worth of the contents. Flash work mmm ok.
