Needs more....the color could be a bit richer and the top right of the photo not so dark. 4.

America's Pastime

Okay - this is a really great shot of a baseball....seriously. I love the texture, the tones, great exposure and composition. However, for this challenge I think it just gets lost because nobody cares what a round object looks like from above (for the most part). A ball looks the same from above as it does from the side. I give it a 5 still though - because I really do like the photo.

Creative subject but the focus could be a bit sharper....also would have like it lit a bit brighter. 5.

Heading for Rapids

Comment:
This is cropped too tightly. Okay - - he's heading for rapids....would have been nice to see some of the surroundings in this shot. Exposure/contrast/sharpness is all good....just not a very exciting subject. I give it a 5 because technically it is a well exposed shot.

This is not shot from above nor is it focused. The color is nice but the soft effect does nothing for it. I give it a 2 just because I like the color.

Bird's Eye View

There is another rowing shot this challenge....and sorry to say the other one is composed better. I don't like the cutting off of the boat and the birds to me are a distraction. Also, like I told the other person - get rid of the border. Nice tonality though. 5

A Shell of What Used to Be

Beautiful colors and wonderful crispness....my only bad thing would be that I'm just sick of seeing bug macros as much as I am sick of water drops! But - I understand that sometimes that is what you have.....and this is a really good one. 6 (lower score based on creativity).

are you actually above them or just slightly higher than them? I really like the photo but I don't think it is a good pick for the "From Above" challenge.

I like it....but I don't get it. She is holding a samurai sword, correct? Is she standing in a trash heap? If so, why? Her sandals and bare feet distract my eyes from her face and pose.
