I try not to base my judging on the border but I think in this instance the border is very distracting. This is a great photo and I think a border is fine as long as it isn't obtrusive.

Okay.... Who Brought The Ball?

Funny photo and title, I would have cropped some of the court out. I don't think it is necessary because the B-ball hoop already shows that these gulls are on a B-ball court. I also would have tried to change the angle a little where the hoop isn't as close to the middle as it is.

Great idea, I think with a little more light this photo would be better. I'm not sure if you used a tripod but your photo is blurry because of focus or a slow shutter speed. Invest in lights or a tripod.

Nice photo but I don't think this meets the challenge.

Cloths pins on a Flower, very strange place for those to be. Good work on meeting the challenge. I would have stuck with one color on the clothes pins to get more contrast.

There is either too much sky or too much grass. Crop out either one and you get a 10 from me.

I liked this photo a lot. I have to say that the glare on the forehead is a bit too bright. And the area in the upper right corner was a little too bright to. That said, sometimes I do find it ok if everything surrounding the subject is too bright as long as the subject isn't. I think you almost got that minus the forehead. The composition is well done. The picture meet the challenge in my opinion. The focus was good, again I liked the photo and I gave it a 7.
Hope this was somewhat helpful. Happy Holidays!

Sniper.....

I don't know if you are one, but this photo made me laugh. I think if you had posted this a few months ago the FBI would've been banging on the door. I would like the target to be in more focus but I like the color.
