Nice try. I just don't find these kinds of shots very compelling.

pssstt... DON'T TAILGATE!

This looks very similar to a shot in the Newspaper challenge. I like the capture of the the waveriness in the air the heat causes. Kind of a static looking viewpoint though.

50 feet to water
by thumper

Comment:
I'd be more convinced if you actually showed the 50 ft. drop. The distance from the subject and the blurry trees in the edges of the frame make this look kind of creepy---like the photographer is hiding in the bushes taking photographs of adolescent boys. I'm not saying that is the case--it's just the impression the composition gives.

Man Meets Giant Bird

Comment:
To bad about those plastic cups. or whatever that is in the lower, left corner. Still, it's a fun photo and a good composition. A bit more to the left and we'd see the guy's expression.

Silhouette

Comment:
I like the idea. I'm not sure about the composition. Maybe if the subject was placed more off-center? Also, a more vibrantly colored projection would have separated the sillouhette from the background more effectively.

The Intricate Details of Nature
by trnqlty

Comment:
This shot is a bit busy. It would be better to focus on one intricacey (sp?)-- the veins in the leaves perhaps. There isn't enough detail in the hydrangea to support the idea.

Egg-straordinary
by spandev

Comment:
This looks familiar--like something from the Serendipity challenge. I like it all except I would rather see the feathers that are cropped at the lower edge of the frame a bit more off to the left of the frame, or better yet, eliminated entirely, to balance out the composition a bit. The way they are placed here, the whole thing seems to be spilling off the lower edge of the frame instead of being firmly grounded.

This looks a bit soft focus to me. It's a very nice vista. The colors don't really sing though.

Fear No Art
by hannafate

Comment:
This is an out of the ordinary car. I wish it I could say the same for the compostion. I closer cropping of just part of the car would have made the point, but shown more detail and eliminated the mundane surroundings. As it is, it's a bit overexposed and I can't make out any of the art.
I actually had this idea as one sees quite a few decorated cars in the part of Providence where I live. It's an artsy city.

South American Cemetery

This is an interesting shot. I like the lines leading toward the woman. It lacks really sharp focus. It also lacks the extraordinary, alas.
