I'm not keen about the angle you've chosen to shoot from, it makes for weird reflections in the glass opening. There is also some color in the photo which I'm sure you've heard already so I won't belabor it.

Passive Smoke

Interesting how you've tilted the photo to make the smoke appear vertical. Creative touch. I'm not sure what the TV image in the background adds though

Unfortunately, the tree is in better focus that the boy. For a photo like this to work, the eyes have to be tack sharp IMO

Monday to Friday gone.....Saturday and Sunday left......

I love the shadows. Overall, it's a little flat. I'm wondering if some levels and contrast adjustment would have made it "pop". Interesting choice of subjects!

The lighting flattens out most of the detail in this photo.

This is an interesting choice. At first I didn't care for it, and gave it a 4. I'm looking at it again, and like the motion-blurred cats - there is kind of an emotive feel to it. I'm bumping to 7

film noir

I keep coming back to this image. When I orginially viewed it, my first reaction was that it is too noisy, and the face is too light. After two or three times, I'm beginning to like the image. I still think the face is a little bright, but it could be a bright scene in the movie. You've captured and old time photo look in this theatre. The compostion is really good. I orginally gave this a 5, I'm bumping to 8

A Tree In Winter

Comment:
This does look like wintery, cold and barren. Because the tree can't be offset to thirds, I think it would have been better symetrical so the crop was equal on both sides of the tree. Otherwise, well done.

I do get the feeling of fillilng the hand from the photo. The photo is very sharp, and the black background sets of the nice contrasts in the photo. A little nit from me... I don't care much for that little piece of thumb in the lower left. I would have liked either more, or none at all, better. Maybe just me.

While it is in b/w and therefor meets the challenge, I don't see anything of any real interest here. Not trying to sound harsh.
