Lines,Lines Everywhere are Lines

I feel there is too much dark areas in this photo. The really interesting bit is the pipes, but much of that is dark. I like what you have tried with the angle though

Just straight lines

I like this idea. Someone else also did similar. Youa re let down a little by a few attention to detail elments. The Red Pencil needed to be turned so we can't see the brand. The upside down writing facing away distracts. Also, the photo is not straight. It needed to be rotated slightly. This is evident in the top were the pencil is cut off

I will totally ignore the slight bend in the road, and if anyone has a go at you for it, then they probably are bitter.

This long exposure works well for the challenge. The streaks of light work well. Difficult to achieve this on the long exposure without other things getting in the way. Whats the blue light travelling down the left. also, the streak going across on that side. This does influence the effect a little. The bright spots on the left road also interfer with the effect you were trying to get, but hard to get the perfect long exposure, especially with traffic, as something always goings wrong.

It has only straight lines (or straight enough) Love the simple yet effective composition of this. It really works well. Not 100% convinced by the border. Perhaps the lighting could have been a little softer, but that is getting a little picky really.

Details: Capture an image that includes only straight lines.

Plenty of curves in this photo, so really doesn't meet the challenge.

However, ignoring that
An interesting photograph. The idea to overexpose the face is interesting, but I am not sure it really acheived its goal here. Maybe a little too overexposed.
With this model, I would have been tempted to have a different background colour, then really emphasise the blue in her eyes. It could be a great feature that will attract attention in any photo of her, especially here where the two fans make the eye the subject. The blue is not as brilliant as the backgound is also blue.
The crop is great, the symetry on both fans with their lines at the edge works well. A great idea for a different challenge. Reshoot a little less overexposed and it could be stunning.

The back rim of the glass though is lost which is a shame, as is the left edge of the bottle. Light is to strong from the left.

In A World of His Own

Have seen this photo now on 5 different monitors (after I voted)

On my monitor, and four others, it appeared the same, it looks overexposed.

On one monitor, the detail in the ice (was sand) came out, it didn't look overexposed, and the photo looked brilliant.

Which means
a) I need a new monitor
b) You probably didn't get the score it deserved as I think many people have the same problem that I had (the other monitors belonged to people ont his site who vote as well, so its not just me that has a shitty monitor)

Just wanted to let you know. Had I voted using the one monitor that showed the detail, this would have then been in the top few for me in the challenge.

Like the black and white. The slight softness works for the mood of this photo. Not sure why you cropped just the very bottom of his feet out though. Leaving them in with a little more sand would have been better for me.

Painted Green and Acting Like a Statue

I ma not sure the long shutter speed works here. It makes the people less visible (including the one in front). I presume this was on a tripod, but the Church doesn't look sharp. Did you press the shutter, use a cable release/remote or use the timer. For long shutter speeds, pressing the button moves the camera, hence the cable release or use the timer to avoid this. Just speculating as to why its not sharp, I might be wrong though.......
The colours are not really inspiring. Making the sky look really stormy in PP could have helped the image
