This is an image that needed a good title to get the viewer to explore the image, and you've done well here. It's a solid image, though it might have done better if it was a little sharper... feels a bit soft.

Climbing your way to the top

This is a very nice photo, and a style of photo I expected to see more of in the challenge... but surprisingly, there were very few of this type and I think this will do well as a result of not being one of an over done sub theme. The b&w processing suits this shot well... it's nice and sharp... only criticism of the composition is the amount of weight the rock at the centre bottom has in the image.

On my voting pass though this challenge, I gave this a 7, but now on my commenting pass, I'm going to bump this up to an 8 (along with only 4 other images). This is a great shot... totally different from anything else in the challenge... you have great vision, and that you managed to capture this moment speaks volumes for you skill. The more I look at it, the harder I find it not to give it a 9... bugger it... I'll give you a 9. Congratulations.

Nicely composed image, and its great that you've managed to get the details in the floorboards in the umbrellas shadow. I find the dirty marks on the umbrella a bit of a negative, though it does highlight the amount of detailed you've managed to capture in this shot.

The dynamic element and the unorthodox perspective in this images makes it... combined with the clarity on the items onboard and the brilliant colours, you've got yourself a probable top 10 photo here... I've got it equal first in my voting with 3 others.

One of my top 4 photos in this challenge. I don't quite understand the title, but haven't let that effect my vote. I love the colour in this photo... the rich orange and red is wonderful. Great composition... a top 10 finish for you in store.

Excellent image... and not like any others in the challenge. Should do well... the colours are bold, strong... the details and sharpness are flawless... a definite top 10.

This has to be my favourite image of the challenge. The expressions on the kids faces are priceless... tells the story of kids watch fireworks perfectly, and the sepia processing is perfect. My tip for a ribbon. Well done.

Absolutely love this photo... only one of 3 that I gave a 9 to in the FS (and I gave no 10s). This image is exceptional, capturing the mood of the scene... the details and balance... the mystery... it's all just so wonderful... and that its Melethia's... icing on the cake. Well done!
