Pos .. Challenge-appropriate, great quality, beautiful city colors.

Neg .. I know this is the main part of your photo, but I just don't like the way the hands are ... Maybe its the position they are in, or even because the fingers aren't tightly closed and is showing some of the sky.

Pos .. Great contrast and tones, great composition, and its sharp.

Neg .. I kinda wish the land wasn't slanted so much, it kinda takes my eye away from the car. this is minor, but for some reason that rock in the lower left corner keeps bugging me ;) Nice stuff.

Pos .. Very moody, its great for this challenge. The composition is good. B&W is good .. but I think just a *hint* of neutral tones would work beautifully here.

Neg .. a little grainy, although I'm not too sure if thats a good or bad thing... not "completely" in focus but then again the soft touch is also nice. I'm partial on the negatives!! Great job :)

Pos .. I like the composition here, and this fits the challenge well. B&W works great, nice choice. Nice and sharp - i like that.

Neg .. I would like to see less of that shadow behind his back - its a bit distracting. The subject is a little dark, a step lighter would be great.

Pros .. sharp, colorful and fits the challenge well.

Cons .. Almost *too* much contrast .. I can see a dull tone working best here. Also it would be great if all the books were aligned perfectly at the top. I am not sure on the blue bottom ... I think all white in the background and black as the bottom would look great :) JMO

Interesting photo - I think the sharpness or contrast is a bit too high, the colors are great and composition as well. 8

composition could be better. Doesn't really fit the theme for me.. 6

It would be better if the tip of the cigarrette was in focus. colors could be more vibrant. 7
