I'm sure you get many comments that this one is totally blown out. It is. And it looks great for it! Just proof that sometimes you have to break the rules. :)

Funny, especially with the title, but unfortunately, looks too much like a snapshot: not quite sharp, horizon not level, pole coming out of dogs head.

This photo could've been one of my top votes, the composition is VERY good and white (or pale) flowers do actually lend themselves to b&w I think. However, IMO, the picture isn't quite sharp enough and needs more contrast. I've taken the liberty and played around with it some more. Let me know what you think!

Breakfast

Love the angle and the look on Mum's and baby's face. I'm torn between the format, I'm not sure whether the vertical works or whether I'd prefer a landscape format just with the lower half of the picture. In any case, the hook in the wall and the pull-thingy from the shutters is distracting. Also, the image is a tad soft for my liking (unless you were going for that) and could do with just a little more contrast in my opinion. I did an experiment this week by posting reedits (hope you don't mind). Let me know what you think.

The Beach

Personally, I feel that beaches often work better in color than b&w. The people on the beach could be subjects int he photo, but they are too much the same shade as the sand. Also, the horizon seems a little tilted.

Take that photo & I`ll punch your lights out

Great shot and title. Just a tad more even lighting would make the photo even better. I'm no expert at lighting, but I believe the Classic Photo Course under the tutorials has some information on it. Multiple light-sources or moving the light source (or in this case the chair since it looks as if you used natural light) may be options.

What a cute and alert face! Good contrast, too. Some of the background is distracting (especially the white material on the left, and the light dot to the left of the head. I personally would've preferred zooming back a little to get the hands in, too. Still a good shot.

This seems to have a slight green tinge to it. Is it just my monitor? Good composition, used of ROT. Something a little more to hold my interest would've been nice.

Intensity

A nice portrait, with good title. I think this photo could be improved further with some post processing to add some more contrast, it's too much gray and gray for my liking at the moment.

OMG, you still have snow - poor you! Personally, I would like the shot better if it was a little sharper, and there was a clear focus that draws my eye in. Even though I like the composition.
