M&M

Really nice idea - but this would have really done better if the focus would have been on the m&ms instead of the rim of the glass. It couls use with a little brighting in levels and maybe a bit more localized contrast - such as USM 25,50,0 to give it a little punch.

Meets challenge but I see a couple of flaws in this image that may should be easy fixes and help out your score - first the image seems a little underexposed - adjusting levels in photoshot should help brightenup up the whites a little. second - the centered composition is not very interesting - shooting so the bird is off center will help - third the image seems a bit blurry - try setting up a tripod so it is pointed right at the birdfeeder to get shots of these little guys.

i really like the vista here but the centered horizon makes this just an average shot - you really have great colors and teh details are well done. 5

Pretty colors on this one. I am not so sure about the soft focus on the flower. I gave it a little photoshop treatment - adding unsharp mask 25,50,0 then 85,0.5,0 two times. I think it makes it pop more.

Rectangles of Remembrance

This has a lot of potential as a subject - however the image itself has some technical flaws. Because of the flaws, I am giving it a 3

First, the image appears very blurry as if no specific area is actually fully in focus.

Second, the colors of the image are very washed out - the yellows and blues are very pale.

Third, the perspective on this photo could use some work. This memorial is a moving place, but not showing a full section of it (we don't see the bottom half of the wall) and seeing such a small section of it really does not do it justice. Shooting it at a much more extreme angle - get to the left and shoot down the wall might really help. If you wanted to get the reflection of the old man - i would have gotten closer to him and focused the image on him (orient the camera in vertical instead of horizontal).
