lost to like here, the processing is just about as far as like to see it pushed in this style, just enough to give depth and texture but not overcooked and haloing.

there is lots to look at here, very busy image everything competing with everything its makes me uneasy looking at it because i want to focus on a single thing and cant.

the only thing i wish it that it there was more interesting stuff to look at as its pretty bland. i keep looking all over but I'm not finding it.

yep its a Corona.

a beer i have seen numerous times from this angle.

show me something new, show me the texture, show me something i don't usually see, make it compelling for me, more importantly make me want one.

i don't know what the other commenters see but honestly ,to me, this is boring, its a picture of a bird, dead center, lighting inst interesting, color isn't interesting, no textures or interesting backgrounds.

sorry to be blunt but i don't see the point in this image besides wanting to enter something in this challenge.

B is for Bride

let me guess, center point focus on the brides face. as a result you have too much of nothing at the top and not enough of interesting at the bottom. the blur is also very distracting.

i would also prefer you to have been a bit lower, looking up slighting at the bridge and letting her dominate the frame.

i think you ought to try to crop in a bit and remove a lot of the distracting elements.

A Boat Between A Bridge

the image has too many competing elements and the only thing to draw me to the boat was the title. this image lacks a clear focal point.

tone wise its fantastic, lots of depth and texture, its pleasing to look at, its just not showing me anything.

i like the fundamentals of the image a lot, but the processing is killing it for me, one reason i don't like this type of processing the haloing effect it produces. i makes thing glow when they don't and shouldn't.

the sun in just barely in the frame and i'd love to see it more prominent casting a flare

i'd also be curious if you had any other angles as fisheyes and large structures work well together.

Boats on a Beach

clearly the voters liked it, i didn't, the colors are great especially that golden sun, the lighting on the boats picks up the texture perfectly.

the composition is really bugging me, the house is just falling off the left side. the sign is halfway cut off, it just feels incomplete. you have lots of great little elements that stand out on their own, the boats, the light, the background sky, but in this case they don't seem to work well all together, and i think the house is the reason

cute picture. as with most pictures of kids who aren't mine there's not much to hold my attention besides that.

technical: the eyes are a little dark, i like to see big bright lit up eyes with bold catch lights if possible. based on the shadows on the next the light was directly from the front and overhead, that doesn't always make the most compelling portrait lighting.

i don't like this image. the tungsten color cast isn't pleasing, the shadow on the right is attempting to capture my attention.

i admire the attempt at simplicity, it needs better lighting, too many competing elements take away from the what you are attempting to show based on your description.

clearly you followed the established the composition rules, its works well however its lacking depth in the texture. the color fading out to white works well, but as i said earlier i want to feel the texture of the flower and i cant.

of course it minimal editing so you couldn't do much. I'd love to see this processed. you did as best you could within your limits.
