2 - oops - wrong Challenge? I give you 2 because there is a 'collection of pipes'.

Stonescape
by Brielle

Comment:
5 - Nice colors. Criticism; slightly more 'fore focus' would have made this better in my opinion, and a little sharper on whatever you choose to be in focus too. Seems a blue light reflection on the green/khaki stone, but that may be in it so not sure. The frame is too thick and detracts from this, especially at this size, in my opinion. A different crop too, especially to incorporate or cut out that 'crystal'(?) on the right. edit:typo

Stamp Collection
by LedZeppelin588

Comment:
4 - Good potential. Criticism; assuming these are all stamps and very small frames, makes this shot likely even more difficult to capture, but I think that more attention paid to focal points, composition and background detail, would have made this better in my opinion.

Line of Shells
by Albireo

Comment:
8 - Very nice. Criticism; not much, perhaps slightly sharper on some of the foremost shells, but may be difficult to get such good focus on all then so not sure. Like the composition, symmetry, lines and shadows. Maybe just a touch more color/contrast, if possible, but not sure on that.

Spoils Of War

3 - Like the potential. Criticism; more attention to the composition/placements and also cropping, if possible would have made this better in my opinion. Too much seems either out of focus or blurry. Not sure on the toning, works, but perhaps needs some tweaking.

Highways
by gotrond

Comment:
5 - Good colors. Criticism; in my opinion this is more about the child than the cars/collection. If the focus were on them, and the child out of focus, would have made this better for the Challenge in my opinion. Like the angle, even sharper would possibly also make this better. edit:typos

Multi-Fandom Figurines

Comment:
3 - Criticism; there was/is the potential to be much more creative here in my opinion. The lighting, focal points, angle, background, etc - even 'staging' the characters here, could have made this much more 'interesting' and added a bit of 'depth'.

Part of the Gang
by banmorn

Comment:
5 - Can't see Putin. Like the potential here. Criticism; perhaps a tighter crop, especially at the fore/bottom and a light reflection 'adjustment' may have made this better in my opinion. Possibly also some 'unusual' lighting to try to give a more 'dramatic' effect, or some 'depth' to this.

Eclectic Crystal
by Briangeller

Comment:
7 - Nice effect and toning. Criticism; not sure on the cars at the fore, they don't flow/fit in with the feel (especially the fore one), in my opinion. Perhaps a different placement of them, not sure, also maybe a little more space on one of the sides, may have also made this better. Can't discern what that is on the horse's 'cheek', reflection perhaps, either way, unusual effect.

Bone collector

Comment:
6 - Like the potential. Criticism; that shadow on the skull in the second row is too distracting and detracts too much from this image. A different crop, perhaps even a sharper angle (side on), and possibly more symmetry, would have made this a much better shot in my opinion. Not sure on the toning, works, but either needs some 'tweaking' or else maybe color, or another 'toning' would have been better, not sure.
