Good shot. A fraction dark in my opinion, but I imagine difficult to adjust the contrast.

SandBathTerminus With Gnats
by lynnesite

Comment:
This is nice, but I can't help thinking that it would be even better in color. I like the 'flare' effect in it too, even like to see 'more' of it, ie: uncropped, if possible. I also think the 'gnats' add a good element here. Like the angle (although an even sharper/ground up one would possibly be even better), especially how the sunlight is highlighting the mane, 'whiskers' and dust.

Five

7 - Really like this and the effect with the depth of field. Nice colors. Criticism; difficult, as you're obviously 'accentuating' the five stamens, and camera dependent, but like to see those nice and detailed. Good composition/placement too.

Ewe's Blue Trio

8 - Like this, as odd as those eyes are, which obviously enhances (or should) for the Challenge. Criticism; slightly sharper fore focus perhaps, as is on the lambs' bodies. Dependent what you had to work with and what is there, possibly an inclusion of more on the left may have made this better in my opinion.

Against All Odds

8 - Like this, makes you 'think'. Criticism; no expert on moon shots but seems you have done well to capture the silhouette(?) of the plane and still retain the detail you have in the moon. Maybe a tweaking of colors to get some added effect here would have made this even better in my opinion.

8 - Like this and good set up. Criticism; not much, maybe some type of small lighting for added effect would have made this even better. Maybe a slight crop change, especially to eliminate that whiteish mark fore right.

8 - Like it. Criticism; maybe not so much 'space', or else slightly off centered, not sure. A little sharper focus/definition, ideally on both the eggs and nails, but even one or the other, would have made this better in my opinion. Not sure on the white background, works but, a little 'sterile' or 'empty' type of feel in my opinion. edit:typo

7 - Good. Nice and simple. Criticism; difficult perhaps, but even 'crisper' focus, especially around the eyes, would have made this even better in my opinion. Maybe also a slightly different crop, more at the top, depending what you had to work with. Up to 7 from 6.

7 - Good idea. Criticism; just needs something 'extra' in my opinion, maybe the lighting, angle/perspective, not sure.

7 - Good 'catch'. Criticism; not much, I like the unusual effect on the water - maybe a toning or b/w would have worked to add drama here, not sure. Not sure on the frame either.
