A nice shot, lovely reflections and good framing with the stairs, also a nice range of punchy tones, good luck

My Serve

An unusual but very effective shot, well done. It's not easy to discern what desat has been applied, I think I would have preferred just the racket in colour. Still a great shot and crop, good luck

A novel and different approach to the challenge, full marks for originality, I just wonder if it may have been more powerful the other way round, you know usual exterior and you find a mono and extremely vexing mono core. That way you would have a greater contrast with your background. Just my thoughts for what they're worth, good luck

The dappled water and good strong shadows makes this work, good luck

The Queen's Guard

Well done Ed(?). A lovely study and perfect contender for desat, that street is uncannily empty! Good luck

That is absolutely excellent. I like everything about this, the voyeur gives it real impact, I will be very interested in your submission details. I can't really add anything constructive except perhaps I might have cropped just above the ledge to exclude the lights and shadows. You should do well with this, good luck

Wow, what a superb capture, well done. One of the few flower shots I've felt able to vote on! Excellent focus and timing. If I had constructive criticism it would be the lack of tones throughout, it's predominantly mid grey and little else, although the all important beak and eye have saved the day. You should do well.
