Pocket Change...
by StevePax

Comment:
Composition: With the image fairly 'flat' in terms of what to focus on my eye was instantly drawn to the dark top-right coin/shadow.
Technical: Reasonable focus and colour. It looks slightly over-sharpened though, unless that's the coins themselves.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: An interesting image.

What is That?
by pepsipepsibaby

Comment:
Composition: Nice angle of image - improves the shot dramatically for me.
Technical: I would have preferred more DOF, but this may be a camera limitation. Good colour and contrast where in focus.
Meets challenge: Mostly
Overall impression: Nice image only let down by DOF.

Comment:
Composition: Interesting use of portrait.
Technical: The colour is great, but the flower is out of focus unfortunately.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: The photo looks a little dark, which most likely won't help focus. When this happens try and hold the camera steady and push the shutter button slowly. Or use a tripod, or rest your camera on something solid. Good effort.

Exposed Staircase
by d14

Comment:
Composition: Interesting choice to put the brickwork slightly off-centre and off a third, but it doesn't detract at all. I may have cropped a little tigher on the top edge, as the darkness top-right draws my eye.
Technical: Contrast is nice, but I would have tried a little sharpening to improve clarity.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: I love this style of photo but that small lack of clarity lets it down.

A Rose is a Rose is a Rose
by mariomel

Comment:
Composition: Good centralisation of the middle of the rose supported by the sharpness of the leaf to the left.
Technical: Nice DOF and colour. Really don't like the border - you will very rarely get higher scores for adding a shaded border - best to stick with simple ones.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: The subject is unfortunately a little imperfect, making an otherwise fairly flawless photo look a little poorer.

Need a Push?
by Drake

Comment:
Composition: Bold choice of a fairly centralised photo.
Technical: The colour of the boat makes it look a little dark, so I would have been tempted to take the photo more from the left, on the lighter side of the hull.
Meets challenge: The sky at the top lets it down a bit..
Overall impression: Interesting subject, I would maybe have tried a different composition.

'67 Beetle
by tfarrell23

Comment:
Composition: May have tried to use the ROT's a little more, although I appreciate the parts are a little far apart.
Technical: Nice contrast and lighting. Interesting shadows too. Around the bumper and numberplate it looks stepped - poor resize?
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: It's rare for car shots to look nice, but this is a good example. Let down slightly technically, but otherwise spot on for me.

Fill Me With Fruit
by fleenk

Comment:
Composition: Good choice of a portrait shot and layout and centre-most skewer (?) and slided melon to lead the eye
Technical: Looks a little dark, which almost makes you think the melon is noisy. The thing in the top-left is obscured by darkness.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: You had a lot of elements right, but I think increasing the light and playing around more may have helped.

Stock Ramp
by Luckydog

Comment:
Composition: I think the lack of straight lines makes this really hard to shoot. Nice work with what you had, but I might have tried a different angle or subject.
Technical: Good focus and colour - and it is COLOUR!
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: Nice pic. Slightly issue with leading the eye towards left?
