Tune me up
by Gauti

Comment:
I like this composition except (and maybe it's the anal ret. in me) it bothers me that the tuning fork is in such an unnatural place.

The end of the World

Your title would be more fitting if the mechanical parts were not in view. I think this would have benefited from the rule of thirds - the horizon line should not be in the center of the photo.

You will hear this a lot... this image is too small to judge. Use the full number of pixels allowed.

I think this looks a little over processed. All the junk in the picture doesn't do it any favors either.

The border is terrible - it draws my eyes right to it.

The pposterized effect doesn't work to well for me

A little contrasty - maybe that was intentional. Still represents the challenge very well.

To the mountain
by jonr

Comment:
I really like the composition of this photograph. They way the light poles on either side lead the eye to the mountain in the distance is very good. I also like the symetry of the stop lights. My only nit is that the image is a little flat. 8

"Agony of cold"
by Bolti

Comment:
Really nice effort. The exposure is moody and the elements are all good. The nits that I have are that it all looks a little too contrived. The newspaper is unwrinkled and the person that is sleeping under them probably wouldn't still be holding the beverage. I think if these people were truely sleeping on the streets, the roll of plastic would used either as a drop cloth or a covering. I know this sounds really negative but I don't mean it to be that way.

ready to cook, but what?

Good example that fits the challenge. I think the compositon could be a little stronger for to have more impact - maybe from a less straight-on angle to get more of a feeling of "place"? maybe a little more contrast to pop the subject? I don't know but it just needs something to elevate it to great from good. 6
