Contained

A well composed image of a potter in a kiln. The head of the potter is placed centrally but he is well connected to the pots by the direction of his gaze and by the arm reaching up to the rim, with this you have tied the image together. Because you have not included any pots on the right hand side there is no distraction. The restricted color palette and the upper rim also work well to keep our eyes in the image. You have captured the moment, well done and congratulations on making my top ten selection.

Another very creative shot, well lit and nicely executed. The snails exploring the outer edge of their confinement are a nice touch. I wonder how many times you had to relocate them for another shot before you were satisfied? The brightly colored shells make a nice color splash within the dark background. Well done and congratulations on making my top ten selection.

Who would think of putting dandelions in a basket and making a still life composition. A creative idea that works so well. I like your harmonious color scheme that gently combines with the fragility of the subject. The composition is excellent with no distracting elements. Well done on producing a great still life and congratulations on making my number one selection.
