Very sweet capture. I'd consider cropping a bit more from the right side so that the little guy isn't so central in the frame, but that's just me. Nice black and white. :)

I love in-the-moment captures like this...to me, it's what photography should be about instead of the processed-to-the-gills, saturated studio shots that seem so unreal. Beautiful. :)

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!!! ;)

Neat idea and nicely executed. It's nice to see fun shots like this amongst the grandiose vistas and flower macros. ;)

Moo! Interesting minimalist piece. The white sky is a bit plain and too white for my personal tastes, but the composition works well. Good luck in the challenge. :)

What a sweet portrait. I'd like to see some more sharpness in the eyes, especially on the lashes. Good contrast and excellent composition. :)

What a great moment to capture...very emotive and telling of this man's years of hard living. :)

Evening Flight

Dramatic scene...the sun in the very center is a bit anti-climactic, however. I think this could be a great subject and the colors are beautiful and bold. I am not crazy about the border but that's just a personal thing. ;)

Fall Paddle

Pretty scene...some areas are a bit bright, and I think the lower half of the image could use a bit less blue and maybe a little more red...but that could be my monitor. I think this is a lovely composition; good luck in the challenge. :)

Fall

Nicely composed; the dark areas around the cluster of leaves is a bit too dark for my personal tastes, as I like to view more vibrant fall colors and less darkness, but that is neither here nor there. ;) I think this could be cropped a bit more on the left so that the leaf cluster isn't so centered. Good luck in the challenge. :)
