Can't Say No to Those Eyes

Maybe a little too much detail lost in the shadows, but a very compelling portrait nonetheless. Bumping up.

In the Eye of the Beholder

A horse, right? Definitely meets the challenge. I'm a fan of the colors too, deep brown appeals to me. I love the textures and detail present. I feel like the eye would have been better served had the reflection been minimized somehow, perhaps with just a catchlight. Given the way it looks, I'm pretty sure you worked hard to get the level horizon in the reflection just right. It's a great image technically, but doesn't really resonate with me on an emotional level. A solid 6.

A good idea but ultimately comes across as a little too ordinary and uninspiring. Musical instruments, especially woods, IMO, have lots of potential. Look for more lines, curves and points of interest.

Nicely done and meets the challenge well enough, but the photo lacks any real visual or emotional impact.

This is a TREMENDOUS shot. You've captured the elusive hue shift on the illuminated sliver of moon, just before totality. Excellent shot!
