6 - Nice colors. Criticism; needs straightening/symmetry. Like to see the colors even bolder, more vivid.

A Couple of Funky Strings

Comment:
6 - Good idea/concept, if original then well done. Criticism; obviously more definition in the strings. I like the crop and angle, perhaps slightly different lighting, seems a little 'yellow', but maybe that's what you were going for.

Grand Falls

7 - Very nice. Wish this were bigger (but I know you've gone as wide as you can). Criticism; not sure but seems to me it needs a slight nudge up on the right. Perhaps 'bigger' (although I realize you'd lose the effect), incorporating some of the good fall colors in the background, may have made this better (albeit different) in my opinion. Perhaps even a tighter crop at the fore, emphasizing the 'flows'.

Feathers in Flight

6 - Good span capture. Criticism; dependent of course on what you had to work with, but a tighter crop. Perhaps a different 'composition', somehow, not sure. Good 'under' view.

Feeding Frenzy!

Comment:
6 - Good shot and nice colors and background. Criticism; obviously difficult, but sharper on at least a couple of the birds, or the focal point different maybe, not sure. No expert in 'shutter speed'. Good potential here though.

Rush hour

Comment:
7 - Good shot. Criticism; 'if only' the engine/etc were not blurred, but I realize it was 'rumbling', so maybe (if possible) to work with what you had, a tighter crop on the driver and wheels, even (again dependent) showing more 'smoke' at the rear, not sure.

Water Balloon Explosion
by NstiG8tr

Comment:
7 - Good shot. Criticism; even sharper, more 'depth' (both difficult to attain I imagine), making the 'suspension' really 'pop out' and the colors more vivid would make this even better in my opinion. Perhaps a different crop, not sure.

8 - Great shot. Criticism; not sure, but seems it needs 'straightening'. Like the effect here and the colors, good.

...as USUAL!
by Car54

Comment:
7 - Good shot and idea for the Challenge - sometimes the titles do matter, without being 'forced', well done. Criticism; not much, the 'odd angle' adds to the shot, so maybe more of an exaggeration, not sure. The 'everyday feel' with the people in the background adds too. Maybe a different crop, eliminating the sleeve, incorporating more of the 'handset', may have made this better in my opinion.

Where the Buffalo Roam
by cpanaioti

Comment:
6 - Liked this but, criticism; wasn't enough grain for me for the Challenge. Like the 'composition', but just to contradict that, I think a different crop/framing (maybe more 'space' to the right?) may have made this better in my opinion. I imagine this with a 'wide angle' type frame (obviously the 640 dimensions restrict that here). Would also like to have seen more 'contrast', some richer toning. More detail too if possible (ie: sharpening) on the buffalo & calf, even though 'more grain' would have diminished the detail, if that makes sense.
