Tough Love

One of my favorite takes on this chain theme. It is generally
well composed, as the legs and shoes help frame the chained
man. But would score better if his face, (to see his priceless expression)
chains and wrists were in sharper focus.

Was this meant to be upside down?
And it's blurry as well.

You've set such a high standard that as good is this is, about
half of your portfolio is even better!
And I do agree with others that this should have placed higher.

Needs to be a sharper focus. Pretty subject though. :-)

I could say that I'm even more curious to see her front than back, but that
would sound sexist so I won't say that.
Dim lighting shows definition and strength, a wise choice there.
Colors and sharpness of focus are fine. Simple black background;
Nothing to distract our attention from her face and back.
Overall a good composition. An 8

Great action shot. Fits challenge well. And compositionally I like
how the action is centered on top of a plain red background, which is
contrasted well with the blue and white uniformed combatants.
You can also see the how challenging this physical tussle is, by the
expression and sweat on one of the two combatant's face.
A 9.

I like this. Mostly because I have neither the fitness level nor the
bravery to even attempt. But does look kind of fun, in a death
defying sort of way.

Technically, the focus seems a bit softer on the climber than
the mountain. IMO it should be the other way around.
Normally the rule of closeups on people is good to follow, but
here, to show how high up he is, it might be better to pan out
a bit. To show more mountain below him. Seven

Great action shot. Definitely fits the challenge.
And does look fun, albeit a bit scary.
Technically, the natural lighting, the focus, and the contrast and
colors are all fine. Good job! A nine.

A clever take on the challenge theme. And an interesting perspective
with the use of a mirror of a car. Title is great. And the lighting
is fine. Houses in the back are fine, not distractions, as it shows
the suburban neighborhood environment. Very original. A nine.
