I'm watching you!

CLEVER. I love it when someone finds a living action (or appearance thereof) of an inanimate object. I'm hoping you are thinking the two holes at the bottom are eyes? Not the most interesting photo, but your ability to see something other than what it is, peaks my appreciation and I'm voting accordingly.

Now This is a Knife

That IS a knife. The clarity is there but I don't sense any reflective quality which might have made this a really spectacular shot. The wrinkling of the blue fabric in the back is a tad distracting. I think a solid flat backdrop might have served you better.

I like the single word title. The infrared of the trees is cool against the warm gold sky and brown of the street. I like that the sign is leaning - it adds a touch of variation to the symmetry of the lined trees. I also like the tree on the far right side, being curved ever so slightly like it's trying to sneak out of the shot. The composition of this is really well done. The bench helps to ground the shot. Imaginative.

How imaginative. I like this alot. It appears to be a woman's hipline swaying from side to side. This is the most clever shot I've seen in a long time. The small bit of color on the chain belt make for a bit of punch amidst the dim tones of the wood and the silver. Perfect lighting to highling the curve of the wood. Great detailing and the focus is dead clear!!! 10

Focus on Strength

This is excellent. Best I've seen of the challenge so far. The green and blue are wonderful compliments to each other. The rope and grid of the metal with the soldiering pattern of the bricks over the opening make for wonderful textural differences. I like the dim light - to showcase what appears to be neon. The gothic arch point your eye up to the upper areas of the photo. 10

The Bend

Nice leading line. The sky and water reflection is a tad "hot" but the overall composition is good. Maybe working on curves a bit might help this photo along.

I love intricate details of inanimate objects such as this. The contrast of color is wonderful. "Study of Rust" would also be a proper title. Nice!

One of my few high votes. Top 30 isn't bad, considering all of the entries. I think it should have been top 10 myself. Congrats.
