I think the color of the border is off on this one. I find it distracting from the subject...maybe something darker?

Over the Bridge

One of my favorites in this challenge. Superb composition. The only small suggestion (which doesn't affect my rating) would be to experiment with the removal of the tree branches to see if it makes the lamp posts that much more striking. I really can't decide how I would like it better, though.

One of my favorites in this challenge. So serene and quietly warm.

Put your heart in to it

Nice idea. Foreground seems unintentionally blurry...a bit distracting.

Luring

This is a fine shot. I rate it a 4 not because it's a weak composition, but simply because the wide array of approaches in this Free Study compel me to put this on the "less original" side of the coin. Excellent work.

The blurry motion is unconvincing to me, in this shot. It's a nice color blend and an understandable attempt...but I'm just not getting sold on it.

This is so very striking and clear. I love it.

This one MIGHT (I'm not sure) be more striking in black and white.

SWAMP OF THE LIVING DEAD

Man, I appreciate what you were trying to do with this, but the pond shot is so striking that it actually LOSES its beauty with those video-game-animation-looking zombies in the background. I feel as though the serene beauty of this place has been violated by an overpaid graphic designer. Forgive the harsh words, but perhaps you could experiment with the lighting or textures to make this look more like a true horror destination?
