Firstly, thank you for entering my competition. The creativity and innovation depicted in this image is outstanding and far surpasses the norm of the still life genre.Great thought and attention has been paid to every detail . The brilliant pink tends to catch the eye immediately and encourages us to delve into the image on a deeper level. The brilliant pink flowers blend well with the pink liquid in the wine glass which is also very creative and abstract in nature. . The slightly darker tone of the budgie allows for perfect blending with the aqua background . Although the various elements in the image seem somewhat unrelated the photographer has so combined them into a splendid composite thus marking this form of creativity as their own. Congratulations and well done!

Firstly, thank you for entering my competition. The creativity involved in this image is outstanding as we begin to feel the life form emanating from the rose within frame. The beginnings of the disintegration and end of the rose's life cycle is illustrated by means of the scatter dispersion effect. One begins to realize that the life cycle of a rose is not immortal and slowly withers away until nothing is left behind of it's former glory. Congratulations and well done!

Still life is the perfect subject to get creative with, since almost all the variables are under your control. You don’t have to worry about weather, lighting or the moods of your subjects. You can plan every aspect of the shoot in advance and enjoy the freedom of seeing your vision come to life.

Firstly, thank you for entering my competition. The concept behind this image is perfect as well as the creativity involved. In my opinion I found the image slightly overexposed and the apples sliding out from the grater are lacking in clarity. I do, however, enjoy the angle the photographer has used in order to illustrate the smaller apples so tumbling

Firstly, thank you for entering my competition.The appeal of this image lies in the artistic usage of everyday objects in order to depict a sense of the photographers own creativity and innovation. The attraction lies in the multi coloured brooms which differ from the norm as usually found on sale. The symmetry and close up view are also perfectly executed. Congratulations and well done!

Firstly, thank you for entering my competition. The simplicity in this image once again proves to us that less is more.The usage of a simple egg in a carton is transformed into a work of art by the photographer's creative innovate style The symmetry is perfect as well as the leading lines which direct us to the main object in question- that of the egg. The clever usage of black and white allows us to focus on the image in question and not to be distracted by the presence of colour. Congratulations and well done!
