Intoxication

Nice choice to opt for full focus on the glass and not on the girl even though she is essentially the main subject of the image. Shame liquid is tilted and I'm not sure the way she is gripping the glass is the best option - makes her hand more of a black splodge than an easily identifiable shape.

Unreachable Dock

Goodness, I used to have a recurring nightmare in my childhood and there was this delapitated dock in the middle of a lake - this is it. For most viewers I doubt it will hold the sinister air it does for me but... this one certainly has a meaning to me.

The cloud pattern makes it look as though the house is shining and rays are emanating from it - very cool.

Sparkler Gaze

If focus were sharper I think this would be a wonderful image - the colour of the light is lovely. Shame about mum's expression though - looks slightly pained even though I doubt that's how she was feeling...

Take a Bow

Comment:
Beautifully captured, great use of DOF to throw out background, and the vibrant green of that background is appealing. Love the curl of leaf onto which he is perched but the overall composition of the image doesn't quite work for me though I must admit the semi-symmetrical nature of it is quite unusual for this kind of content... a real eye-catcher.

What a beautiful sky... I usually prefer more saturated colours but the muted effect of this image really appeals to me.

Reflections on the Cuyahoga

Comment:
What an interesting frame that reflection creates... very strong graphically. Unfortunately, for me, the content just isn't arresting enough to make this a winner though the reflection is appealing.

Fire in the Rocky Mountain Sky

An intriguing image - such a strange contrast between the rich green foreground, the icey gray midground and the firey clouds at the top.

A nicely detailed image with nice detail in the water on his body but lacks connection which, IMO, is down to the lack of detail in his eye. I think a catchlight in the eye would bring enormous improvement to this image.
