You have defiantly captured the essence of winter. Good use of color to make the audience feel the cold.

Country Dance Hall

Interesting shot, is this really a dance hall built up off the ground? I like the include of the fence given the shot more depth.

Right of Center (for a while)

"Right of Center (for a while)" fits into the Off Center challenge. At first glance I really do like this, especially because it is something different to see. Also I think creativity for the title was a very excellent element of this piece, in the challenge.

The composition of this image is very lovely. There is a very nice overall feel to the shot. Also I like that you were able to include the fountain and give the shot some movement. One thing that is a little unsettling is there seems to be a tilt from the bottom left side, I think it wouldn't be so obvious if it were for the house. Since the viewer is drawn to the house they start to look at the top and wonder if the shot is uneven. It is a small enough title not to make the image completely unusable, but probably noticeable. Good work.

Glow

"Glow" is a very striking piece, defiantly grabbed my attention. This meets the off center challenge, I really like how it is off centered yet you mange to leave the image balanced.

The glow is absolutely amazing, the coloring is so strong. This really looks like a shot for a movie cover, like Hunt for Red October. The sun look unreal. I really like the crop and how you used the length to fit the boat. The composition is excellent, it really feels like a complete shot.

I think the off center challenge is one were people really do have a specific idea in their minds and are really looking for an off balance shot, that's the only think I can really see as to way your shot did not place higher.

"Painful grip" seems like a pretty well centered shot. Maybe you were referring to off center because the subject is upside down, I could see that. I think the full frame seeming pretty centered might be why the score was not higher.

The shot itself is amazing in its timing. I really like the motion that you captured with the slow blur/glow around the movement of the legs. The composition is great. Even the composition really isn't effected by the lady in the background watching because it is such a strong subject. Also good use of diffusion to soften the edges and allow to focus to remain on the subject. This really is an awesome action shot.
