Uninteresting subject. Overexposed sky and blocked up shadows. Let me see the details of the bark.

Droplets!

Comment:
The focus is the droplets, but the flag is too dominant. The drying marks from the water looks bad (e.g. lower left corner).

Not fond of the processing at all. Nice lighting and shadows.

Dropping Out

Comment:
The added grain and darkness detracts from the image. I don't think the stroke/frame helps.

Crop in on the right half of the image. Use the pole as a frame for the elvis.

Riding the Subway

Challenge
- Relevant to the Challenge? Yes
- Is subject unique (vs. unoriginal or rehashed)? Yes

Compostion
- Good or Bad? How can it be fixed? Needs a little height to it.
- Is there anything that should be removed? The shadow behind the woman on the on the left side is distracting.
- Good use of Depth of Field? Yes

Lighting
- Good use of light? No. It a bit too dark (yes I know subways are that way) the shadows are blocked-up, while the train is blown out.

Aesthetics/Artistic Appeal:
- What is my reaction or feelings? The image needs a little punch, but it shows people going about their daily routines -- Citylife.
