Composition: 5 - A standard non-adventurous composition, but still it works well for this shot.
Technical: 6 - It seems over-smooth in places, and the B&W makes it seem a bit cold. I'd have used a very subtle sepia tint just to add some warmth.
Creativity: 5 - Its quite a usual shot for newborn babies, the 2 pairs of hands adds something though.
Appeal: 4 - I'm sure the parents absolutely adore the photo, but for me it doesn't do a lot, sorry.

Lost in Time

Comment:
Composition: 8 - This works very well imo.
Technical: 8 - Nice high contrast editing which really brings out the rich colours in the shot. The eye really sticks out well too, nice one.
Creativity: 7 - Definately not the usual portrait :)
Appeal: 6 - The rich colours really make this shot nice to look at for me, but it starts to creep me out if I look at it too long :P

Comment:
Composition: 10 - Spot on, just the right amout of negative space.
Technical: 7 - Lovely colours, very well exposed, and good DoF. If the head was sharper I'd rate higher here.
Creativity: 6 - The composition and background and colours set it apart from other butterfly shots.
Appeal: 8 - A really nice looking photo, especially due to the

Swallowtail Garden

Comment:
Composition: 4 - Too centered for me, and the right wing comes a bit close to the edge of the frame.
Technical: 7 - Very nicely exposed with good vibrant colours and nice DoF too. The sharpness of the butterly is great.
Creativity: 5 - There isn't anything here for me that separates it from other butterfly shots. Perhaps a less traditional angle or more of a closeup would be better?
Appeal: 6 - A pleasing photo to look at but nothing sets it above the rest.

In the Night
by Silvi

Comment:
Composition: 4 - Everything seems at an angle, I think shooting from straight on would have more impact.
Technical: 3 - The room on the right being brighter draws my attention away from the room with the man. Also, the photo overall seems too dark.
Creativity: 4 - I can't really see what you were going for here.
Appeal: 3 - Its too dark and lacks contrast in the important areas, so doesn't hold my interest for long.

Overall Calculated Average Score: 3

old man

Comment:
Composition: 8 - Very nice, showing the character in the man's face as well as part of the background. I'd have preferred him to be looking into the frame rather than out of it tho.
Technical: 6 - Some overly bright spots in places on his face, but other than those the high contrast approach works well.
Creativity: 5 - You do show a lot of the mans character in the shot, however you choice of background is obscured mostly by black so I can't tell the situation well.
Appeal: 5

I don't really like how the edge of the gun is cropped off.

Hand-off
by msdoubletrouble

Comment:
Composition: 6 - Nicely framed with lots of stuff going on all around the central point of the ball
Technical: 7 - Well exposed, emotion captured, just the cropping of half the leftmost person is a small distraction. DoF works well, but shallower to hide the fence would improve it imo.
Creativity: 4 - There isnt anything here that to me separates it from other football shots.
Appeal: 5 - The nice rich colours and lots of things happening means this holds my attention for a while.
