Red Tulip on Yellow Background

Very nice. I love how the yellow background is mirrored in the highlights on the tulip. And the lines of the flower draw the eye nicely into the frame.

Wow. Your conversion to black and white is flawless. I love the subtle leaf curling off to the right.

Cool image. I love the way sillouhetting the subject enhances the shapes and textures and the angle draws the eye right into the frame.

Very nice photo. Your subject is placed perfectly and I love the texture of the plants in the foreground. Too bad about the spots, though.

I'm a big baseball fan, so this really strikes home for me. A couple of things that might improve the shot: The player's head corresponds with the line between the field and the outfield wall, it would be better if he was separated more from that (probably difficult to do based on where you were sitting). Also, he is right in line with one of the seams in the padding on the wall which is also distracting. Finally, while the subject is supposed to be small based on the challenge discription, he is a bit hard to make out at that distance, so maybe a slightly closer zoom would have worked better. All in all, though, a very nice shot.

Looking Up

I like this, but I think it would be better if the angle were such that the point of the building were pointing toward the upper right instead of straight up.

The Master of the Sauna

I like the colors and textures of this image. Placing the ladle (not sure what it's really called) at the top creates a lot of dramatic tension. That seems to conflict with the more soothing tones of the copper and wood. I wonder if rotating this 90 degrees counter-clockwise would resolve that.

Very well done. I love the reflection of the hand.

Hand Stand Man

Your exposure is perfect. The horizon is a little off kilter, though. I'm also left to decide whether the subject is the guy doing the handstand or the stunning mountain in the background. Take out the guy and you have a fantastic landscape. Get rid of the mountain (good luck with that) and you'd have a great minimalism shot. Together they don't work as well as they would separately.

Ok - I've come back to this after a forum message (I'm assuming it's yours -- if not, my apologies). I can see that perhaps the horizon is level and it's just an illusion that makes it look off-kilter. That being said, my opinion is still that this would look better if it appeared level (whether it is truly level or not). The line between the blue of the water and the reflection of the mountain give the sense that the water is going to spill from the photo. Whether that is caused by illusion or by not being level is ultimately irrelevant. This is still a very cool photo, and you are clearly very skilled. You should just be aware that the level illusion is a problem.
