On the Prowl

The model's face looks slightly fake, as though it's been retouched slightly too much in Photoshop. I would have preferred a slightly deeper DoF.

The strong light in the bottom right and the shiny rings on the model's fingers are a bit distracting (to the extent that an image featuring a topless woman can have anything distracting). Something about the soft focus looks off - almost as though it was done by dodging, burning and cloning in Photoshop.

I would have preferred a less aggressive crop. This picture presents a fraction of what looks like it is probably a rather dynamic pose; however, the frame restricts my field of vision so much that the image is almost reminiscent of the Venus de Milo. Rendering this using a silhouette or fig leaf may have done a better job of preserving the fluidity of the pose.

Blue (Rain) Day

I would like this shot better if it didn't look so posed. The blown out highlights on the bottom and right edges of the window frame are somewhat distracting, and I'd like to see a better reflection in the right side of the window.

Evening Drizzle

The editing seems slightly overdone; the sky looks unnatural and the textures seem oversharpened. Even so, this is one of my higher-rated images in this challenge.

I believe that this is the 5th through the windshield shot that I've seen so far. An interesting or original subject outside the car would have helped this one to stand apart from the rest.

Urban Rain

The clear water droplets are good, but the stark shadows that they're casting on the girl are distracting. Using a light source closer to perpendicular relative to the camera would have reduced this.

The thundershower's smallest aftermath

Comment:
The corner of the umbrella seems to be in sharper focus than the drop; reversing this would result in a stronger image. Rendering this in B&W and cropping to include less of the umbrella would have garnered a higher vote from me.

Slightly sharper focus and more contrastly editing would have pushed this photo from really good to great. The heida edit of this shot would easily take the blue ribbon. Wonderful composition.

The focus isn't particularly sharp. With a shot this minimalistic such technical details are critical. Nice bokeh and wonderful composition.
