Subtle Square
by BJ

Comment:
Composition: Photo frame angle looks slightly wrong.
Technical: Nice colour and lighting. Focus isn't great, but this doesn't detract from the pic too much. Was the white area around the pic intentional?
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: 6

Schaumburg Clock Tower
by pitsaman

Comment:
Composition: Would have cropped the sky either side of the tower fairly tight myself.
Technical: Not perfect focus, but I guess that's due to distance.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: I like architecture, but is lacking interest slightly, for me. Shape of the pic really gives a snapshot quality (sorry). Always worth considering cropping. 6

Composition: Nicely symmetric

Las Vegas Checkers
by keone

Comment:
Composition: Good, but needs rotating slightly ccw? Would have looked better symmetric I think.
Technical: A little more lighting at the top/back of the photo may have made a stronger impact.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: Could have been excellent, but lacked sheen. 6

SkyLight ^ 2
by myqyl

Comment:

Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: One of those pics you just keep looking at. 8

Dare to Be Square
by karmat

Comment:
Composition: Good. Really like the background and table surface
Technical: Fantastic focus, good use of colour, nice border. Looks like you've sharpened after you added the border not before (white line between pic and border). Best to do it before added the border.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: Technically great and aesthetic too! 8

Fifteen?
by steinarknutsen

Comment:
Composition: Good. Would have been tempted to centralise the letters horz (less space near E).
Technical: Good colour and lighting. Focus seems slightly off around R and E? Seems slightly noisy?
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: Focus lets it down slightly, but otherwise, great pic. 7

MULT COLOR
by kevinswope

Comment:
Composition: Excellent. As soon as I saw this pic I turned my head 45 degrees to try and work out what they are.
Technical: Excellent. Not completely sure about the orange background. Maybe a darker colour?
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: I love interesting photos, and you've got this one pretty spot on. 9
