In The Red

Wonderful composition and portrait. Lighting is very good. Only thing I could say to slightly widen your crop so that you don't cut off one of the red bars in the bottom right. Well done!

Wonderful composition, but flesh tones could use some color balancing to get rid of the yellow cast.

I like the contrasts of flesh and rock and tones here. Also love the high grain. Though subjects pose is different and interesting, not sure what it's significance is. Minor issue is the visible tracks on the floor. This image sure leaves me thinking and returning. 9

Forgotten Bench

I like sepia toning and contrast. Your main subject could be more interesting and should have been more dominant in the image to meet the challenge better (as I think you already know based on your title). Composition could be improved, I feel, if you moved slightly to the left to help bring out the bench more so that it wasn't hidden behind the near bush.

Image suffers from uneven lighting..

Technically good, but suffers compositionally from distracting elements in background (bus, street lamp and sign, traffic signal and pole at top).

I like the composition and sepia toning but the contrast is too high.

Life without Green

Very interesting composition with the color contrast between the gold subject and desaturated tiny leaves. Flash here is a bit too harsh, but not overly so. Well done.

Loosen up!

Love the use of the curved and diagnol lines to help center your subject. I also like the soft pastel colors of your background. At first I didn't like your subject (belt buckle) thinking it was too inconsequestial as subject, but now I find it to be a perfect style fitting with the rest of the compositon. I just wish your lighting was less harsh and would help bring out the belt buckle even more. Very creative composition.

Too much distracting glare in the glass and chrome of this guage. Can see your camera and hand in the reflections.
