Nowhere Else To Go

Wow, what a nature capture! I wonder how you found so many bugs at one place. The one with the open wings makes the photo live, I also like composition and DOF. A photo which has a true story, good luck!

A dead end to another day

Nice idea. For me, there is too much black, I would look a bit upper with the objective to show more of the sky and less of the blacks. Maybe, exposure a few minutes before you did would show us more colours, too. I guess you used a flash here, which is always a good idea when you take photos of close stuff in dark, but need the far background as well.

The idea is good, but I don't think this is the best perspective for it, I miss the way that leads to the end. I would take a low angle and swallow DOF, highlighting one of the graves well. Maybe the further one, not the closer one, this way DOF would surely highlight to the end, the far side of the photo, which stops my eyes. Just an idea.

Nowhere to go but up

Amazing colours! I don't like the road sign anyway, maybe because of the yellows. Maybe a no-drive-in sign or end-of-the-street table would fit better. Alltogether, the light of nature is simply stunning.

Slow, but certain dead end

Great composition and B&W. PhotoShop effect is though, too much much for me. For my taste, cleaner smoke and not that oversharpened face would do better. Maybe a darker background would highligt the smoke better.

Once I had a similar idea about visas for On the edge challenge. It did not finish well, but I hope yours does better. I like the DENIED text on the shot. The background is wild, I would use somewhat more official colour and a tighter crop (no matter if edges and parts get outside the photo) and a lower angle to make the shot more interesting and gove a perspective.

Humorous capture, very well presented. I love the idea, which is surely creative for this challenge and the colours as well. As I am a summer phanatic, autumn also means me the end of the best days of a year.
Good luck!

Please, don't use flash when photographing pets!!! It harms their eyes!

The idea is nice, but the background is too busy and the dogs too much out of focus. I don't find any conscious composition or lighting, and colours are pale a bit, too. Use of flash in pets eyes needs to be avoided!

nothing like old wine with a new rose

Nice composition! :-) Shame for the untidiness of the paper of the wine, and the unsharpness of both the rose and the bottle.
