Columns of Justice

Super! I really like this. However, I think it would be even better with a crop at the top. That would put the diminishing part (via perspective) of the round part of the base into the diagonal of the shot (mostly). I am suggesting about cutting more than 1/2 of the vertical striped area of the columns in the crop: try it and perhaps you'll see what I mean.

Very nice! In an editing challenge, I would have liked to see the rail erased, but fine here. Good tones.

I like the dark tones and the negative space at the bottom. I am less sure of the crop you chose at the right. Personally, I think the head would have been good here, or at least the neck. More significantly however, the subject has lines from their clothes that are distracting to the tones and texture of the skin. Your model needs to avoid tight fitting underwear the day of the shoot.

Best friends.

Nice tones, pose and clarity with the boys. I like negative space in it's place but I don't really see the use here. I suggest eventually cropping a lot of the top.

Water Lilies (The Clouds)

Wonderfully painterly and impressionistic. Well done. If I would change anything here it would be to try and avoid the strong whites in the foreground flower. But the overall effect is excellent.

Good choice of subject and very neat effect. At first it looked like ordinar motion blur, but I see it really does have a strobe effect here, so it must have been done differently.

Beautiful mix of slight motion blur and colors. It doesn't look like natural motion blur to me, however, as there are inconsistencies with what's blurred and how much, but it's pretty close, and effectively done. Choice of scene and composition are excellent. Very nice work.

Clearly one of the best shots in this challenge. Nice work!

I'm curious what those dust spots can be. Normally SLR dust spots are black. So what are these? Dead pixels? Unfortunately, it's going to be hard to do well in a non-editing challenge with these. But the photo is nice, albeit a bit grainy and soft.
