This is a fantastic photo... the tilt works here... adds a dynamic. The grain, another element that often gets photos punished in voting, works wonders here. Composition... LOVE it... wasn't sure about the ball at first, and initially gave it an 8 (actually, I think this originally a 7 which I bumped to an 8... but now that I'm looking at it while commenting, I think it might warrant another nudge. Nine it is.

This is by far my favourite image in this challenge... gave it an 8 on my first pass... bumped it to 9 on my second pass... and am now bumping it up to a 10 during my comment pass. I absolutely love this photo... so, I'm going to fav it too. Composition is perfect... as are all the other technical aspects of the image, but this also has a real WOW factor... truly inspiration work. Well done.

This image had me conflicted when voting... gave it a reasonable 7 back then, but now, I'm commenting, and I'm looking at it and think I WAY too hard on it/you. Composition is wonderful, and the contract is great. I reckon its a serious chance for a posthumous... okay... upgrading it up to an 8... might be back to bump it to a 9, as I'm still feeling an 8 might be a tad harsh... stuff it... save myself the effort of coming back... a 9 from me. Well done!

I scored this fairly high when voting... commenting now, how could you have got higher from me? I think this lacks a story... a point of focus... a chess piece somewhere perhaps. I don't know.

This is a fantastic photo. I really love the balance of colours and minimalism, The ONE thing that I would have changed was the white thing at the top, though, that's easier said than done give the basic editing restriction, and the need to keep the left of the image to get the composition impact you've nailed. Wonderful photo and I hope it does well.

I score this image quite high in my voting phase, and now I'm commenting, I think the simplicity and the colour really appealed to me. I love the colour gradient, and the detail in the wood... and the composition is excellent.

Best architectural photo in this challenge, and one of two top scoring images from my voting phase. Contrast is brilliant, and the composition is spot on. Well done.

This is one of two top scoring photos following my voting phase, and now looking at it for comments, all I can really say is that this is really something I could see on my wall. Composition and contrast is fantastic... great job.
