Praying for Rain

this is so cool, I love both the colour and the texture, it's really sharp and well captured and the flower/leafs add some additional interest into the scene. 7

Fire & Water
by Kelli

Comment:
When I think of electricity i do not really think of it as being fire. When I switch the plug on there obviously isn't fire going on inside the cables otherwise the plastic coatings would melt. So for this reason alone i think you have tried to match this photo to the challenge rather than going out with the intention of taking an elements style shot. Not that this is a problem but it shows in the style of shot and the fact it rather looks like a snapshot rather than something you have taken time over to think about and plan and for that reason I am giving this a 3.

Making a Splash

nice capture, you must have been delighted with this one and you obviously showed patience and great timing to get this shot plus the horizon is spot on level which is great for the limited time to frame this shot.
It does look a little oversharpened and is lacking overall detail in the whale itself, i cant really make out his head properly due to reflections in the water. Other than that it's great :o) 6

Composure is Everything
by cpanaioti

Comment:
you said it yourself, composure is everything but i don't think this has been composed particularly well as there is too much dead space around the duck. Perhaps zooming in a little closer or actually trying to get physically closer would have drawn the attention more to the duck itself.

Water of Life

Comment:
nicely taken, pin sharp and good use of lighting but is lacking in interest, perhaps taking it from a different perspective would have added something extra to the scene

Water, Sky, and Mountain High
by elizadeb

Comment:
this looks heavily post processed and the mountains in the background look fake, almost as if they've been pasted in. i think you've tried to boost the satuation too much which works well with the trees and grass but unfortuntately ruins other parts of the image IMHO.

Cracked & Peeled

Comment:
I can't really see the connection with the elements and it's not actually that interesting. On the positive nice use of lighting and nice sharp focus in the middle

Fire

some extra lighting could have really brought this to life, as it stand it's slightly dull and boring.
