Dancing Dress

A bit too high-key which is obscuring the interesting details in the dress. I like the concept.

Good Ol' Dooley

I think you could have cropped this more to eliminate the trees in the background. Shooting at less of an extreme angle might have worked better, IMO.

Truck

Great subject. I think this composition is a bit literal, however. This is the type of subject that can benefit from a more unusual POV. My choice would be to shoot it from a lower vantage point to exaggerate the curves and give the truck more of a looming, grand presence. If you wanted to accentuate the abandoned quality you could try framing the shot so that the truck was a much smaller, lonelier presence surrounded by an expanse of grass and sky or if it is surrounded by overgrown brush than you could show more of that. Another creative approach would be to take a close-up shot to capture the texture and color of the rusted blue paint, including some sort of contextual clue like a headlight or the hood ornament. This is one of the subjects that you can explore for a really long time if you have access to it.

Bulldozed

Great subject. I like the dramatic POV. I would almost suggest that you could have sacrificed some of the dramatic sky to get a bit more detail in the bulldozer. Since this is an advanced editing challenge you could have gone back and done some dodging and burning to the sky.

Nice set-up.I'm not crazy about the lighting which looks rather flat. There are too many glares, especially in the velvet at the bottom. I suggest lighting from the side to add more drama and contrast. This looks somewhat literal to me.

The background is a bit distracting. It obscures the pleasing curve of this object. I think this is a bit overexposed. The detail in the light area is nearly washed out. Interesting choice of subject matter.

The MG Old but still elegant

The balloons in the background would have worked for me if it hadn't been for the row of modern cars. It might have been better to shoot the car from a diffreent angle to eliminate distracting elements. This looks kind of snapshot-y to me because it doesn't look like a lot of consideration went into the composition.

Locked and Forgotten

Nice subject matter. It is a bit contrasty to me--super-dark shadow and very bright highlights but little detail in the midtones. Where I'd especially like to see a bit more detail is in the area of the padlock. My other issue is the greenish-yellow color cast that I'm seeing on my monitor (Mac calibrated to sRGB profile.) I prefer the whites to look more white and the blacks to be pure black but that is more of a personal preference.

Transition... (The aging process!)

Interesting concept. I don't find that this execution makes for a compelling image, however. I like the high-key quality but I'd like to see a bit more detail in the leaves and less glare.

senakulo :: old story, reenacted

Interesing. With the graininess it has the look of an old movie still. It's a bit too tightly cropped, making it hard to make out the purpose of the people in the background.
