how I "Really" do those close-ups

5 - Like the concept, good idea. Criticism; difficult, but slightly closer if possible, would have made this better in my opinion, &/or a different angle, especially to 'cut out' the leaves. Maybe even a small frame in this case may have helped, not sure.

6 - Like the concept, good 'catch'. Criticism; difficult, but the coloring/lighting adds to a snapshot 'feel' in my opinion. Perhaps a different (sharper) angle and slightly different crop, and adjusting the tones/colors, may have given this a little 'extra', including drama, and made it better in my opinion.

7 - Like it. Criticism; maybe color would be better, especially as seems to be an issue in the blacks/gamma. Like the sharp perspective, not sure on the rotation. The man in the background adds context, but his 'pose' doesn't add to the effect in my opinion. Not sure on the frame.

7 - Like it. Criticism; not much, maybe a sharper angle/perspective, or even trying to 'scale' this, may have made it even better in my opinion. Good idea that without the quality wouldn't have worked.

8 - Good idea and meet of the Challenge with a unique 'non adulterous' factor. Criticism; toning works but I wonder if b/w would have worked better, just seems a bit of a 'tinge' to this. Maybe even a small frame may have made this even better in my opinion, not sure.

8 - Good. Criticism; maybe the focus a little different, not sure, just like to be able to see the 'hole' more - maybe different angle, tighter crop may have made this better in my opinion. Good effort.

8 - Good meet of the Challenge, nice 'clean' feel. Criticism; maybe a touch 'busy' but that's part of the 'scene' so who knows.

7 - Good 'clean' shot, nice colors. Criticism; for the Challenge maybe a bit 'obvious' but minor. Maybe a slightly different angle/crop, not sure, like how this shows the length of the lane, etc.

6 - Good concept. Criticism; a sharper angle/perspective, possibly even including more fore (even if they were out of focus), while retaining the focus on that one petal left, would have made this better in my opinion. Not sure on the frame.

6/7/6.. 7 - Excellent coloring and contrast control. Good title. Criticism; may have required a slight rotation, but a crop at the bottom to lose that leg tag would have made this much better in my opinion. Possibly also (depending what was there and what you had to work with) inclusion of more left background, not only because 'everybody' is there seemingly, but the colors are very nice.
