It's blurred. You should have used a tripod.

It probably would look much better in color. It also appears to be out of focus

This picture would look much better without your fingers in it :). I like the texture of the ice and the contrast with the background, but I can't give it a high mark

An interesting idea. The upper left corner appears to be slightly blurred

I do not think there's much to criticize here. It's just magnificent. I really like the lighting. The blackness that surrounds this scene gives it a real 3D look

Maybe it's just me, but I cannot see where the opposites are. Especially that what the main subject of this picture appears to be, is that animal

Unbridled versus Restrained
by BikeRacer

Comment:
A good shot. You must have been really lucky to get that. Just one little comment: I feel that this picture would be more attractive had you positioned yourself in such a way that your camera pointed along the wires, so that they don't cross the field of vision. (I know that it's impossible to know where the lightning will strike and prepare for it accordingly, so the previous sentence is not meant to be a criticism)
It's a 9 from me

Bright Night in the Big Apple

I like the idea, but here it just doesn't seem to be working very well. IMHO there're way too many objects/lights in this picture. As a result your eyes just keep darting from one place to another. There's nothing to grab your attention for a longer time

Beauty and the Beast

I like the colors you used, but IMHO the focus (or, rather, lack thereof) really ruins this shot. Having read the title, I assume that the spider is the "beast" here. Unfortunately, it is not possible to tell what the "beauty" is, or what it is supposed to be.
