Armic
---Eruvanda
+: Nice softness to the image.
-: The sheep kinda dominates the photo.
Try and be more of the subject, don't be pushed out of the spotlight. The line 'everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go" gives alot of room for creativity, especially with setting. Simplicity is fine but there are a couple of fine touches that could have given the photo more context.

Creativity: 15/20
Wow Factor: 14/20
Improvement: 6/10
---Blackmager
+: Good use of props to convey meaning. Plus I admire how you got down and dirty for the photo.
-: I wouldn't have minded it if you kept with the boy photo only, its a stronger photo.
When you have two photos its kinda nice to see a link between them beyond that of the theme. Having something whether it be the same subject or similar background. Just something to create a little bit of continuity.

Creativity: 19/20
Wow Factor: 17/20
Improvement: 7/10
---Fuzzball
+: Nice use of symbolism. Very powerful expression. Nice muted colour palette, makes the red pop.
-: Dress isn't centered as well as it could have been.
The white of the dress kinda provides a little bit of a distraction. I actually don't mind the pink dress being a slightly different shade of red to the hands. Draws more attention to them.
Theme: 19/20
Creativity: 20/20
Wow Factor: 20/20
Improvement: 9/10
---Glompage
+: Very well constructed image. The use of the reflection really gives the photo two different emotions.
-: Body language is sound but the expression is a little bit lacking.
I know that the expression is purposely ambiguous to give more impact to the hidden dagger. However for future rounds you have to be careful not to give the one look. The theme is a little ambiguous too. Maybe another element like a pack of cards showing with the Queen of Hearts visible would help with communication. Cause you kinda look more like a princess than a queen. I think that may have to do with the teddy bear.

Wow Factor: 20/20
Improvement: 8/10
---Hattey
+: Very unique colour palette. Has a very nice contemporary feel to it.
-: The body is a little bit awkward and the expression lacks that little bit of drama.
A couple of pillows would have raised your head nicely and evened out your body shape. You are also a little detached from the story you created. This is a hard thing to do and can turn out quite cheesy sometimes, but try and act a little. You set it all up nicely, all you needed was to bring life to the situation.

---Jessie
+: Interesting use of photo-manipulation. I love how each image helps tell the story and that you are actually interacting with them such as holding the clock thing. Also I notice you are wearing fairy wings ^^
-: The image is filtered a little too much. The grainy texture is too predominant. The noise of the filters is distracting especially on your image. The background is actually not that bad as it is but you could have made you pop in the image if you filtered the background but left yourself relatively un-filtered.
I know alot of people are hard on you for photoshopping too much of your images. Its probably because your style is so different from everyone else, so its hard to get used to or compare to. The thing you need to be careful of is balance. I personally don't mind your use of photoshop to set your scenes but a little bit of realism is important. Maybe prove to others next round that you can take a strong photo without photoshop just for a little bit of diversity

Creativity: 18/20
Wow Factor: 16/20
Improvement: 7/10
---Lolita
+: Nice contrast to your colourful style. You really are quite clever when it comes to colours.
-: The spider kinda cheapens the image.
Photoshop can be a tricky thing, sometimes its too much but in this case its kinda too little. The spider just looks out of place. A prop of a fake spider would have been a better alternative (or the real thing lol). I'm a bit iffy on the necklace but the hairpiece is quite interesting, I like how it echoes spider's legs. Maybe if you were a bit more centered the white of the image wouldn't be as strong and intense as it is.

---Ninja
+: I like the adaption of the story. It really gives Red Riding Hood an urban feel to it.
-: You kinda got upstaged by your friend.
Interaction with the environment would have added that extra something to the image. There needed to be a little bit of that drama that the Wolf is giving returned. As the main subject you need to try and give an emotion that isn't so ambiguous. Acting skills help here, you need to enter the character you are portraying. Do what Riding Hood would do.
Theme: 17/20
Creativity: 18/20
Wow Factor: 16/20
Improvement: 8/10
---Rainbow
+: Interesting mood to the image. Strong but reserved expression really adds to the tone.
-: Lacks a little bit of drama.
It is a simple photo and that is what works about it. There needed to be a little bit of a body language injected into it. I think the face is fine like it is but alot of depth could have been conveyed through your hands. There is a little bit of ambiguity between you portraying Belle or the enchantress. Subtle movements really can add alot of context to a image.

---Spiffy
+: Ordered Chaos. Interesting use of bare tools like MS Paint to convey the story. Really clever how you created that trumpet. lol is the background your kitchen? Very resourceful.
-: The only thing that doesn't quite work is that hat you drew.
I don't really know what to suggest... It certainly is alot better than last week. Shows alot more of your personality and you are interacting really well with an environment that doesn't exist. btw, that Sheep is kinda scary.

-Twilima
+: Nice composition of the photo, especially with a prop as awkward as the violin.
-: Kinda got me confused in thinking this was an entry for round one. The theme isn’t quite there.
The background of your bedroom isn’t the best and is quite busy thus distracting from you. The expression isn’t really giving anything. There needed to be a little bit of action in the photo, maybe playing the violin instead of holding it would have helped. The costume seems to be in theme but there isn’t enough of it to really have much effect.

Oh wow!!
This round makes me happy!
Great job everyone!
Twilima - You did a great job of turning yourself into a boy. And I love that you actually have the fiddle. Love this shot.
Lady Glompage - your picture is sooooo awesome. I love the angle that you created. The knife behind your back just makes this extra cool.
Fredrick-Fuzzball - Really well done. You look adorable, even though your hands are all bloody.
Hattey - Cute idea. I liked this picture all but for the expression on your face. I think it was supposed to be shock but you look more like "Heyyyyy" if that makes ANY sense. Good job though.
JessieBaby` - I like the picture, it just seScaredCrow the Spiffyems a bit crowded or overdone. Too much editing can be hazerdous.
Blackmager - Is that you in a wig? It's really good, I just never thought that was a nursery rhyme. I just thought it was a tease that girls chant at boys during recess. MY BAD. lol. Good job.
RBT - Wow, Alex your picture is AMAZING. I love it. And I love that you have a cape. lol. Seriously, it's a great shot. The lighting and everything if awesome.
L0AD3D NiNJA - I didn't really like you picture that much. Little red riding hood is called such because she always wears a red hood. It was a good idea, I just think you could have done better.
King Lolita - EPIC. I love this picture. It's really awesome. Almost exactly like I picture Miss Muffet when I hear it. 'cept she has pigtail in my head. lol. Perfect.
ScaredCrow the Spiffy - So awesome! I love the MSPainting. I can't even make words. it's just soooo cute.
As for my vote, I'm stuck. I'll decide later.
GREAT JOB EVERYONE

Alrighty then, here goes:
Twilima: Great job! Love the blurry-ish look. Like Eruvanda said, you did a good job of looking like a boy. Your face could maybe have a little bit of emotion in it; you look kinda like you're zoning out. And the background could be a little better. But besides that, this picture is wonderful. [: Keep it up.
Lady Glompage: You're certainly someone to look out for in this competition. Love the knife behind the back. I like that you blurred out the background so I can't really tell what's there. This means that a lot more focus goes on you. Your face is really lacking, though. When I think Queen of Hearts, I think scream but you're almost emotionless. Amazing outfit, though, and the heart drawing was a nice touch.
Frederick-Fuzzball: This one was alright. I see how the red hands are supposed to look like they aren't there, blending in with the dress and all. And I see the chalk line. It fits the story. But it's just kinda boring for me.
Hattey: I don't like this. Rather than looking like Goldilocks intruding into a bear family's house, you look like a girl laying on a bed with some teddy bears. You chose a great place for a picture considering there aren't are tables or pictures or anything to distract attention, but this still doesn't work for me. Maybe you could've tried showing the different chairs or something instead.
JessieBaby`: I don't like the style of this picture, how it's.. I dunno how to describe it, but it's the editing you did on the overall picture to get the quality how it is. Your face looks good and your outfit is cute. And you've even got a wand and a pumpkin. It's a good picture, but there's just some stuff I don't like about it that are hard to explain. I guess it's too much editing for me.
Blackmager: Interesting idea. I don't like the top picture. It's kinda unorganized it seems, and I don't feel that it really conveys your message very well. The bottom one is alright. A brown shirt would've been better 'cause my attention is drawn to that green. I like how you got all dirty for it. But I'm not quite sure what's going on. Overall, not too good for me. However, I noticed you took my advice on the background. Good choice this time. [:
I don't quite feel like finishing this. xD
So for the rest of you, just look back at this post tomorrow some time. [:

Wow!! I see some serious stepping up for some people! :O
I've got to say, I have a few favorites... But here's what I can say to all of you:
Twilima- I like the angle you chose and the rhyme as well, but the picture being so blurry doesn't cut it for me, It doesn't make me want to look at it for too long. Next time I'd say keep the blurring to a minimum. It was nice to have the rhyme right afterwards! : ] I had fun reciting it.
Fredrick-Fuzzball- What a beautiful picture! And so full of feeling too. Very classy looking. (You must've been freezing out there o.o; ) The first thing that came to my mind was Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus... : p
Hattey- A bit plastic looking, not as childish as it should be. It's a warm photograph, but the angle is very boring. The three bears are adorable
"What is she doing here!?"
"I'm In ur bedzzz, ruining your cushionnss!1!"
You can do better next time!
JessieBaby` - There's some serious photo manipulation going on here, I can barely tell what's going on. I guess you're the fairy godmother? I see clock, pumpkin, wand, wings.. Alright I see now. Don't rely so much on the powers of photoshop next time.
Blackmager- I had to look up your story because I had NO idea what it was... And after I read the nursery rhyme I understood. xD You got down and dirty with that picture! Cute sister. I can see you thought of the rhyme's words a bit too much, the pictures look more technical than magical. I'm dissappointed, you can do better!
Rainbow Banana Trees- The ambiance of this picture is so dark.. I wouldn't have been able to tell what it was about. You can either be the deceiving witch or Bella herself in this picture, I'll take a stab at it and say it's the witch. *shrug* It looks like it can be the cover of a book though, so kudos on that..
L0AD3D NiNJA - Your picture amuses me xD You look like you can easily pwnzord that adorable wolfie behind you with the badass look. It speaks for itself, I have not much criticism for it. (you did butcher the little-red-riding-hood stereotype. xD We may be witnesses to a revolution you may have started right here: How to gothicize kids' bedtime stories.)
King Lolita- Your picture is adorable! It captures the theme and story perfectly. Nope, I've nothing else to say about it. I just wish I could vote for two pictures.
Eruvanda- I love the sheep! o.O; the kiss is cute. unfortunately.. It doesn't work for me.
ScaredCrow the Spiffy- Interesting picture : ) So imaginative (evil sheep GAHH!!) I like how the MSPaint scribbles transform the picture. That might just save your neck this round! lol
Lady Glompage- You clearly spent effort and put your mind and heart into this picture. I love the reflection in the mirror, clutching a bear, holding a knife, small heart drawn on your chest, the overall annoying-red-rage feeling to it. Yours Is my favorite, and so my vote goes to you.
Everyone, keep up the good work and do even better next time!
