cute kid but the challenge called for a shot where wood is an important part of the composition, the wood seems rather minor here

neat shark, more depth of field would have improved this shot

the covered bridge

I really like this but it would appeal to me more if there was not so much of it that is very dark, perhaps a curves adjustment to bring out more detail

nice subject for this theme but it looks a bit over-sharpened to me

nice subject but I think you have made it just a bit too grainy

What's That?

returning to bump this one; certainly a different take on At the Zoo but fits the topic well, the kids look like they are squinting which makes me think it is more staged than candid, the suggestion of interaction between the kids and the bear could be stronger, colors are very saturatyed; overall a fine effort that is refreshing for it's originality

fits the topic well but I don't see sharp focus anywhere in this, perhaps from a bit of camera shake, or maybe it is a very small part cropped from a larger image
