I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Straight out of the camera eh? Nicely done. Very interesting combination of subjects - I like how there is a linking theme of 'lines'. I find the orange luminance highly intriguing.

Critical stuff: Not much really, hard to argue with a zero edit - suggest anything and you would lose that.

Overall: Interesting. Nicely done.

Positives: Definitely unconventional! I really like the idea behind this shot and the props are well suited.

Critical stuff: I think something this quirky would be better matched with less vanilla POV and editing - I'm not sure this front on, edited with the flat light look suits the image.

Overall: Nice but I don't think you've got the maximum amount of interest out of this intriguing scene.

Positives: Excellent, excellent, excellent!! This is just brilliant. Bags of story, nicely executed and highly original.

Critical stuff: Nothing at all.

Overall: Very, very good.

Positives: I really like this - the silhouette (and partials) are just right, the background nice and sparkly and I like that we can tell they have a purposeful stride.

Critical stuff: You know I'm going to mention the rail at the bottom right of the image... just one step to the left! Also, the figures appear slightly halo-ish - is this the consequence of an aggressive edit?

Overall: An effective image but given the handrail, I might have been tempted to crop just behind the leading woman

This is beautiful - quite Turner-esque.

Positives: Ordinary object, unusual context - found or placed? I remember someone did a 30 days of forks; I wonder if this is part of a similar project.

Critical stuff: The depth of field is pretty narrow here, I would have thought that a wider DOF that took in the whole fork might have been more effective - something with a very small sensor like a phone camera would have fitted the bill.

Overall: A difficult one for me this, I quite like the overall image but I can't say I find it very interesting and I can't quite understand your rationale for offering it up for the FS. I wish I could.

Positives: Pigeons on vacation! I like it! Tons of dynamism here, the image feels like it exploding - I particularly like the shadows.

Critical stuff: Perhaps the surf line is throwing my eye out but the horizon looks slight off to me - a tad lower on the left.

Overall: A great capture - you've made me feel like I was got to see this happen for real. Great job.
