Challenge: The Four Elements II (Advanced Editing V)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4.0 L IS
Location: Home, Singapore
Date: May 27, 2007
Aperture: f/10
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/200
Date Uploaded: May 27, 2007

 I learnt a lot with this shot. I appreciated that despite all that is included, that something is missing - I wish I could put my finger on what. I'm happy with the editing, but still fell that the sample shot I did of just the earth element might have been better.

Nice idea, but not enough visual interest to carry the day. More interesting looking containers and a lower angle would have helped. 5

The idea of this picture, and really everything about it except the candle, are perfect. I just don't really like the candle. I don't know what would have worked better, but the other three look great!

Neat. I like the simplicity of this and the way it captures the elements. Nice bit of humor in the "empty" dish. :)

dry ice and water could've shown air. Still a good idea though. 9

I like the idea of balance but I don't see that here (in the composition or in the literal sense.) I just see a presentation of several elements.
