I like this alot. I'd up the red so that it really jumps out at you. The shadows and leading line of it are quite effective.

Great urban sense. It has a snapshot feel to it, but I love the wording.

I love the super clarity of this shot. Interesting and it has the leading line effect with the telescope. Very nicely done. The entire theme is monochromatic with the muted blues and browns. . I think it works here.

Very pretty. The bright lantana is a compliment to the butterfly and a nice contrast to the green of the leaves. It does seem a bit out of focus though. Not the deliberate area in the background, which is fine, but some of the area to the right. The colors make it very appealing. With spot on focus, this could be a real winner.

Very cool. I like that you went to some trouble to prove the point without explaining it in the title. This is very graphic and would be a cool ad shot. I wish that the ruller were a touch more focused. The blur of the pencil eraser could use a bit of work. I love the guy's shadowed face and expression. A+ for originality.

Interesting monochromatic theme. You rarely see that much orange. It suits the challenge. HIs expression seems a tad strained. I'd up the tonality a bit by adjusting curves. Overall - provoking and different.

I love the minimalism. This would be a great study in black and white as well. I wish it had a touch of red somewhere. Really well done. So graphic in it's simplicity.

Perfect DOF. Love the blue and complimentary green tones. Very nicely done.

Very striking and not the typical single stem poking up against a solid background. The contrast is great. You might even could up it a bit more. Also, you might try taking the single color selector and taking all of the black out of the white. Those flowers might really have some pizzaz then. I like the stamens being so visible and the bud in the lower part. Very nice overall -- perfect use of black and white.
