Great contest!

Great idea and concept, there are some niggles but its a clever image. The tones add much to the idea but please try to straighten the horizontal, also close up the clarity/sharpness is really lost. Sure another attempt will work well......

Gorgeous symmetry and design, a well thought out idea and has the most 'Paper Drops'I have seen in an image. The colours are clear and vibrant, and well done in having perfect lines and curves with no crushed/pressure points.......... The falling away to the left is a nice touch making it that bit different to others.....

Very nice colour version of 'Paper Drops' style, it still maintains the lovely curves and shade. A clever concept on the standard idea and the colours really jump out. The cropping is great and you wander around the image with plenty of interest...... Only one issue the paper end/corner in the centre of the image slightly distracting.......

A nice new concept of the 'Paper Drops' concept, nice curves and shades. Works well in b/w and the ranging tones add interest., there is a 3d feel and nice DoF. Well done and an idea that can be worked on......

This is a classic 'Paper Drops' style and as I have done many of these it is not easy to get right especially the contrasts and shades. Nice cropping and softness to the whole....... The layout of the paper has been done well with perfect curves and no 'crushing'........

A superior image in the 'Paper Drops' world, this is very clever and supremely done. Sure it was not easy to set up and its a great concept and taking the art to the next level........ The b/w tones are gorgeous and clever use of angles and softness.......... The composition and framing is something new to the style well done........

Simple and beautiful, a single 'Paper Drop' but from the reverse i.e inside the paper not from outside. Gorgeous colours and shade........ The DoF works well and there is a softness to the whole, very well done a new twist......

In this contest, I want to see your images showing just paper, but make it artistic, unique and eye-catching. Please be creative, as paper has become quite a popular subject for still life with some striking images, shapes, contrasts and lines etc.
