I liked this. It's an appealing visual. The shadow play is very nice and consistent. The texture of the post and wall show through very nicely as well. It's the type picture I see hanging in office buildings everywhere. Maybe you should market it!

I actually voted this a 7. I'm surprised it didn't do better. Great facial expression. The feet were blown out though. If you look close you can see toes, otherwise it looks like socks. I guess the 'clean' look of him hurt you as homeless usually equals dirty.

First off, I voted a 6 on this. I thought it was a great photograph and really tells a story about the division between people. What I thought could have made it better was if both benches were fully in the frame. It just seems that part of the photo was cut off. Nothing you could really do about that though without losing some of the details of the people. Great job!

A Day Out

The colors are very vibrant and the dirt road makes me think of a relaxing day in the country. The centered road and slightly soft focus are probably why it wasn't voted higher. I tend to do the same. Maybe it could benefit from some sharpening and using the full 640 pixel size for detail.

I thought this was a great idea. It just didn't seem to be executed real well. During voting I gave this a 5 because though it does seem like it could be an old prison, it seems more like a gated alley with a street light in the background. The darkness and lack of a subject failed to hold my interest.

beautiful shot, i think the desert mountain in the back takes too much focus away from the water though. still a great shot though

This is a nice image, very simple yet elegant. The wood seems to be off a little and it could be my monitor, but the colors look like red and blue to me.

This is a really cool image in negative! The colors are fantastic. Congrats on your second highest finish as well. I couldn't give you anything to improve this, I like it as is. I didn't vote on this challenge but probably would have given it a 9 or 10.

That's a really cool flower! The colors are great. As I also seem to be told though, that break (background) is distracting. Maybe a different angle could have eliminated that. Congrats on the high placement.
