What a great capture. I love the expression and the composition! They are both perfect! The eyes on the banana do take a bit away from the candid shot (IMHO, I would try cloning them out?) I would also see if desaturating or darkening the background colors (the oranges) might increase the focus on the adorable face! A picture to cherish!

Nightlight

Just a tad more cropping and a bit of straightening... I like the captured light beam and the composition. Maybe increasing the contrast to better see the stars with a darker sky? Knowing my bad tendencies, I would try to dodge and burn the sky just a tad to add highlight to the clouds and the beam of light. well done!

Nice capture and good composition. I wonder how it would look with a whiter sky to increase the contrast with the trees? Maybe a bit of dodge and burning to add some light on the headstones and darken the back bushes? But good idea for a photo and well executed!

Nice photo. I like the gate cloth blowing in the wind and the perspective of the people walking through it! The cropping could have been made to right the gate straight with the frame IMHO! And I do wonder how selective desaturation might have looked with all B&W except for the gates? The cheery baby blue sky somehow takes away from the feel of this photo. Great capture and composition!

Nice capture. I love the glassy feel of the water and the silhouettes with their refections!
that lonely bird on the right does make it even better as it hints of a story for our minds to create... very well done and high contrast as well! good luck

I really like the color and the puff of cloud that competes with the towers. Great editing and composition. I might have been tempted to crop out just a bit more of the sky on top IMHO...but in any case, well done!

Disturbing the Waters

WOW! what a picture. The composition is perfect with room for the ducks to swim and the high contrast is great! I love how the water blends together into nothingness and pure white! And you can still see the wake of the ducks! I hope you score high!

Edit: after finishing voting on all the other entries, yours is a favorite! a perfect 10

Natural Divide

What an amazing photo. I love the gradual misty feel to it... and the contrast is indeed really high contrast!
I do wonder though if a tighter crop might have made it even better, at least IMHO. It seems that there is a lot of sky AND a lot of grassy foreground... maybe choosing one or the other? But in any case, well done! a 10

I like this photo a lot. The composition is beautiful, the people in the middle works well here! The soft feel and graininess really add to the emotion perceived in the photo. Well done. It's not the highest contrast in the challenge but works well (too many contrasting areas that compete with each other...)

Nice color contrast. It could be sharpened a tad more and the bugs might fare better if a tad more off centered with a different crop :) But nice capture!
