The tilted background is distracting but I see the "7" you were going for.

I like that you don' t have any hot spots in this photo. Personally, I would try to light the right side just a little bit and see what that looked like. Looks like a big "1" to me!

Beautiful colors. Straighten the horizon and you've got a top-notch picture.

Although the tilt may have a reason, it seems unjustified and, I think, the picture would be outstanding if the vertical lines were actually vertical. I like the sky full of night clouds and the reflections in the water.

This definately makes use of the "leading lines" concept. Nice image, good exposure, a focal point the grabs the eye BECAUSE of the leading lines. Nice job!

This is what I think "leading lines" is all about. The lines lead your eye to the subject of the photograph and you've accomplished that here! Great job!

Quite effective in your framing and subject placement. Says, "despair" to me! Very good!

You've captured an image which yells of dispair (to me, anyway). Nice job!

Gee, I've seen this same image in person several times recently. You've captured a funny view of despair!

Your title is interesting. I immediately thought of an older woman who is no longer able to see or to hold a thread and needle still long enough to get the two together or even to hold the needle steady enough to sew. Either image --- my first thoughts or those suggested by your title --- are items of despair to me. You've met the challenge very well here and the selective focus is quite nice.
