Three Colors

The colors and lighting are perfect. The composition would be perfect also if more of the two girls on the left could be seen in silhouette. You might want to crop this as vertical around the girl on the right hand side of the image. I think it would be stunning.

A very nice macro entry. The detail you captured in the eyes are lost to the viewer due to the blown highlights in the face.

Reloj de sol

This is a very nice image but it just doesn't come across as strongly as it should. You might want to consider cropping about half of the negative space off the left. Something about the way the shadows end on the left side draws my focus away from the clock. I might also suggest playing with the contrast, levels or curves to darken the shadow just a touch and maybe lighten the sky. The sky being darker than the shadows makes the image look a little unbalanced.

This image would probaly have bette appeal to the masses if the girl was floating on the water instead of being submerged under the water. You might want to consider croping the right side of the image to mirror the crop through the elbow on the left side of the image. As presented, the negative space on the right gives this image an unbalanced feel. There are three water related anomalies (air bubbles or components of the main subject breaking through the surface of the water) that distract from the main subject. One by the hair on the right. One by her mouth. And one by her right thumb.

Braced Against the Wind

What a wonderful image. I had to look really hard to see that both feet were actually on the twig. Only a couple of things could have improved this image. If the bird would have provided a profile view and a bit more detail in the sky (Tough to do with basic editing).

This image is perfect for this challenge. I'm not sure if B&W is the best choice for this image, as the girl's torso and upper legs tend to blend into the sand. Maybe if you played around with the contrast or levels you could bring these details back.

A lovely image that is well composed. The colors and light balance do suffer from the restrictions of basic editing.

California Palm Trees?

Comment:
Technically the trees and the cell phone tower are stationary but the overall feel of the image does convey a considerable amount of motion. The clouds have a stormy feel and the wind that comes with it. The image also suffers from soft focus, which could be caused by downsizing the image or camera movement associated with too slow of shutter speed. Compounding the soft feel is the flat overall look of the image. A little post processing work with levels and saturation would give this image a bit more PoP.

Hot Enough To Fry A Slug On The Sidewalk

Hard to tell if this guy is stationary or in motion ;-). The lighting on the head really brings out the detail and the limited depth of focus on the shell helps lead my eye to those details. Not a lot of WoW factor to this image but it is very nicely done.

This is a very wonderful image with great eye appeal. The ripples in the water are what makes this refection so appealing; however, the same ripples convey motion within the image itself.
