(Soon to be) On the road

Great action shot. Caught in just the right moment. Would've done well for stop action, too. I see how you are tying this to the road, but in my mind that's a very loose connection. Some post-process sharpening would've done this picture good.

sadness on the road

This image is entirely too dark on my monitor. I looked at it in some photo editing software and there was so much more detail than is visible here. I also don't quite get what's so sad about what's going on on the road (other than the rain maybe, but I like rain sometimes). Colors of the sky are great.

Did you consider having the car face the road closed sign, rather than face away from it? I think that would've made more of an impact to me. Also, a driver in the car would've been a nice addition. Still, like how the car is positioned in the shot.

Nice textures in this one. I think it would've been a little more abstract and interesting if you hadn't included all of the manhole cover, but just parts of it. Btw, I have a thing about manhole covers (my Dad does charcoal rubbings of them) so I was glad to see one in the competition.

I KNEW there'd be a roadkill shot in here somewhere! Very funny.

Mountain Through Trees

Nicely framed by the tree. Good contrast between sky and tree, mountains are great, however, the foreground lacks contrast. This may be a candidate for "color is better" (outside of this challenge of course...)

Now this is a shot that I would like to have taken. Usually done (and done well) in color, it is very intriguing in b&w. Well executed! :) I would probably have cropped just a tad more off the top (outside of this challenge of course) to emphasize the ROT.

I like using the ROT rule, too, however, IMO it works better (in most cases) if there's something in the background. Also would like to see just little more DOF. Interesting angle though. Could've used that for upside down as well!

I'm not sure . . . I think this one would look better in color! J/k. To be honest, I can't make up my mind about this one. It's a great b&w subject, an interesting composition, technically ok, but for some reason I can't pinpoint why I'm not excited about it. I think it's just a tad too busy for me. No points deducted for my indecision though.

Wow, those legs look HUGE from this angle. I like this shot. How did it work in color? If it hadn't been for the challenge, what would you have gone with? My one nitpick (and I don't know whether color would've corrected that or not) is that the feathers on the head almost disappear in the background. They would've made a nice addition if they were a little more pronounced.
