Set Subject		Credit	"Clever idea with the layers of glass but suggest that bird be 'softened' as it is now behind 3 layers of glass."
Set Subject		Credit	"Quite creative use of software as this is eye-catching and effective."
Set Subject		-	"Appealing architectural approach with software filtering."
Set Subject		Credit	"Really appealing approach to creative result so commend your image."
Set Subject		-	"Can be open to interpretation....looking up or looking down and wondering what is going on here. Are they risking a fall into the abyss??"
Set Subject		Merit	"Profoundly relevant with our Climate Change and environment issues being highlighted at present. Most thoughtful creative image with many strong messages."
Set Subject		Merit	"Father (or Mother) time rolls on regardless....this is the strong message I can see. Well executed!"
Set Subject		Credit	"Quite clever idea! This would make workers' daily commutes from underground stations of more interest!"
Set Subject		Credit	"Very striking closeup treatment, which has produced a good result."
Set Subject		Merit	"Very clever application of layers so highly commend this image!"
Set Subject		-	"Fun and effective image. Their heads fit in very well so almost convincing but for their hands."
Set Subject		Merit	"Very well constructed creative image which is most appealling and well done."
Set Subject		-	"Use of glass effective but image needs a more prominent feature to stand out from the overall view."
Set Subject		-	"Painterly filter and toning effective but with ordinary street scene not quite the right subject and just a bit too out of focus overall."
Set Subject		-	"Interesting application but foreground not effected same way as the sheep. Needs a bit more work."
Set Subject		-	"Just a bit too abstract, as little hint of what is going on here."
Set Subject		-	"Striking shapes and exposure but too much empty space at top. "
Set Subject		Credit	"Vibrant colours and effective result here with interpretations, messages for the viewer, thus a successful outcome."
Set Subject		Credit	"Intriguing image as lots going on in a surreal place but perhaps too many people overall. Simplify image with those at RHS being main feature (trying to escape from this 'otherworld' perhaps)...."
Set Subject		-	"Distortion used but not really the best subject in this case as obviously still a tourist attraction and not an apocalypse as such (which I think may be the intention)."
Set Subject		-	"Filter use is ok but suggest trying a different type as this is a fairly common usage."
Set Subject		Top Shot	"A clever, effective, eye-catching, well exposed Altered Reality image! "
Set Subject		Merit	"Most effective filter use enhanced by mono/sepia effect. Reminder of a future apocalypse perhaps."
Set Subject		Credit	"Clever Altered Reality concept indeed, so well done! Could even come to pass in the distant future perhaps.....or in a movie!"
Set Subject		Merit	"Really well executed Altered Reality indeed! Very well laid out, sharp and balanced."
Set Subject		Credit	"Shapely abstract reflection in glass but again, try to capture a reflection of a more identifiable object which would then be distorted and thus have an interesting result. Eg In Venice I captured a background of old houses behind my wine glass, adding much interest but open to interpretation."
Set Subject		Credit	"Back to the dark ages perhaps....lots of room for interpretation with this appropriately darkened scene."
Set Subject		Merit	"Very effectively and beautifully executed as Altered Reality !"
Set Subject		-	"Nice filter use but not particularly creative as still a very realistic scene."
Open		Credit	"Woman with attitude and raunchy colour scheme is great but some waste space with her pose within the black couch, so suggest trying to capture different poses if any opportunity. But very good lighting."
Open		-	"Pleasant bridge and reflection. "
Open		-	"Intriguing old world castle in spectacular location but needs more impact with dramatic sky, brighter red roofs etc."
Open		-	"Nice colouring but subjects are too out of focus. Selective focus would work here but just not evident."
Open		-	"Interesting travel image with great sense of scale and location. Safety of the railings is suspect! "
Open		Credit	"Conveys the dramatic location of Santorini structures very well, with this wide-angled view and ripples adding an extra element."
Open		-	"Sharp feathering but bird looks uncomfortable and not such a good background."
Open		Credit	"A difficult shot to capture in low lighting but has worked well as it conveys the sense of movement and sheer athleticism of this dancer."
Open		-	"Pleasant scene."
Open		Credit	"Certainly has appealling, bright colouring and good composition but the orchid flowers are not particularly sharp (usually the strong feature of floral images). "
Open		Credit	"Very good architectural study of the UTS Frank Gehry building. Appealling reflective colouring in the windows adds to overall effect. Lots of images online including distortions so have a look! "
Open		-	"Good historic scene but would be improved with clearer view of the ancient volcano in background."
Open		-	"Parramatta and Meriton building which is familiar to me as I cycle past there often. Not so appealing with crane structure."
Open		Credit	"Very cute, sharp image of this squirrel."
Open		Credit	"Extremely well documented sphinx with good sky."
Open		Credit	"Well lit in the right places, this portrait conveys a story of a life of hard knocks but you have executed it with graciousness."
Open		Merit	"Very well executed interior image with extra element being the monochrome choice. Extremely sharp, well balanced and appealling."
Open		Credit	"Great environmental portrait with lovely colours and sharpness."
Open		Credit	"Timeless store shot done well."
Open		Credit	"Attractive landscape with very sharp detail."
Open		Credit	"Thoughtful, more creative approach which captures the viewer's attention well with contrasting colours adding interest."
Open		Merit	"Top quality, strikingly appealling macro image with excellent sharpness."
Open		Credit	"Dark scene about a dark story....very appropriately shown."
Open		Credit	"Good detail of Great Wall shown plus well composed and exposed. "
Open		Credit	"Full marks for capturing the very active noisy minor so sharply with background in soft focus and great lighting."
Open		Credit	"Reflective in more ways than one so a successful outcome. However the overhead lighting detracts from the main message within this contemplative image so suggest you tone it down somewhat."
Open		Credit	"Lovingly portrayed bloom with delicate petal colours and background plus very even lighting."
Open		Credit	"Micro monster indeed! Fascinating and amazing image of a (four-eyed?) hairy spider. Not sure if real or taken from a digital source...."
