It looks like he's making a face at you! Too bad the beak isn't in focus.

When The Wind Blows

I like this- the lighting, the contrasts and the DOF are all very nice. The subject is interesting as well.

Nice! I think I would have preferred a slightly greater DOF to have the nose and mouth in focus too. The focus on they eyes is very sharp.

Very nice portrait. I like the DOF and rain drops on the window. Nice detail as well.

Waiting For The Number 10

Very weird- in a good way I think. The giant head with the glasses is the key to this shot for me. Without him I think this would just be another street scene.

Nice idea, but I think there is some room for improvement. In particular, I think the flash is a little too strong and harsh for this shot. A softer light might improve the hard, cold washed out look of the picture and add warmth to the pieces without the harsh glare.

Nice picture. I like the idea and feel, but I'm not a fan of the blue tint. Also, the candle placement and brightness draw the eye to them and the clock as the focal point of the image and it almost seems like the woman was thrown in as an afterthought. I will acknowledge that those elements are instrumental in creating the feel of this photo, like the woman IS an afterthought, but I can't help but wonder if the same effect could be achieved without the blue and with some careful lighting on the woman. Despite those factors, I still like this shot. :)

Very interesting shot. Great job with the lighting and metering (or photoshop!) to have the background washed out but still have the subject properly exposed.

Overall, very nice. I like the clever interpretation of the challenge. I think the lighting is a little flat and makes the cheese look kind of dark. Some soft sidelighting coming from the lower right might add some more dimension and contrast to the shot. Still, I like this one.
