Step - For me, the back story is what makes it fit the theme (brave of you to go for something so personal!). Obviously, technically there are issues but the processing and framing works well. Nature / Natural - Moss: I think this was a good idea with the three stalks and I like the PoV. I...

Almost caught up now - only missing Step!

Hi Sarah, Linked - Love the colours and I think the DoF is just right. Crit, maybe take a bit off the top of the image?

I would hope most people think honest crit is a GOOD thing... However, delivery is important. This is an online forum and all we have to go on is words on a computer screen. There's no facial expression or tone of voice to help us. So when leaving negative crit, it's a good idea to try and do it...

I'm going to carry on but independently and I won't be posting the photos here.

Absolutely. If I did draw my own themes, I would not expect any feedback, for this very reason.

I get that, but even if they were obscure, at least they would be new and would trigger a new thought process. If it's a theme I've done before, I don't only have my own but also everyone else's old entries in my head, which makes it real hard to come up with something that has not been done a...

I think if there are more repeats of themes I did back in 2012 (we've had two so far already and we are only in week 10), I may draw new themes for myself. I'm not at all keen on doing re-shoots of themes I struggled with the first time around. For those of you who have been around the block a...

You're not being blonde -- it is a shoehorn entry for sure, the idea being that the spider would be the end of me (figuratively speaking) because of my intense and irrational fear of it. It is quite far-fetched, I know.

Hi Judi, Time - #2 for me as well, because of the egg placement and also the hourglass being more straight. Like the colour the tablecloth add to the image too.

Positive - Loving this. Sorry I can't add anything negative. :P

Hi Sarah, Ending - Clever idea and I like what you've done here. Positive - I agree with Andy, think it could do with a tight crop of the flower, since the background does not add to the picture. This. (y)

Hi Allan, Sorry I've not stopped by in a while... Trying to catch up! Ending - Made me chuckle. Especially reading the description! Positive - Like the lighting. Red, white and black works well. Only tiny niggle is a what looks like a few scratches on the surface the pots are standing on. Time...

8/52 - Ending by C Fredriksson, on Flickr Edited to add: shoehorn entry for sure, the idea being that the spider would be the end of me (see below). I am terrified of spiders. The larger the spider, the bigger the fear. This was about 5 cm, which is by no means big, but still big enough for me...
