A nice place to shoot. Unfortunately, the sky is messed up. It looks like a mix of digital noise and compression artifacts. Use NeatImage or something similar to get rid of that. Good shot. 7.

Time flies when there's no sun

Nice idea, the clocks add a lot to this extremely long exposure. I don't like the composition very much: I would like to see more of the sky, and the tree on either the left or the right side of the picture. 7.

I like the tilt, it gives your image a dynamic touch and emphasises the curve. Unfortunately, the quality of your image is poor. It's blurry and there is a lot of noise. 6.

Hm...I prefer your moodier shots. 'Happy' and 'heida' next to each other don't seem get along to well. Cute girl though. Congrats on the top 10 finish.

I congratulate you Joey. You proved that a young creative mind can get an incredibly strong image out of a crappy (sorry) camera. You sure deserve this ribbon! (Is it possible that you're the youngest ever blue-ribbon winner? You should do some research!)

Interesting approach to the challenge. If you want to enhance the quality of your shot, you should use levels or contrast to make the black parts darker. They looks a bit washed out. 5.

That's a nice place to be. I like the people, some of them stand out clearly, others are blurred. Nice mixture.
Your picture came out a bit too bright. Use levels to get rid of the washed-out colours. You also have a tilt in your image. If it was intentional, then I don't really see how it adds to the image. If not, just rotate it in your graphics software. 6.

Secrets At Midnight

You have a focus problem here. Let your camera focus as long as your subject is well lit, with a flashlight for example, then switch your light source off and shoot. Some more text in the diary would have been nice. Showing a person writing in the diary would have been even better. 4.

Sorry, busy

Lovely. You did well with the lighting conditions, the car is neat and sharp and still has that nice motion blur and the light trails. Looks a bt overexposed in some areas, your picture could be darker overall. 9.

Hey, that face really pops out! I like the colours and the movement in your shot. There seems to be a problem with the focus on the trafiic lights. That's strange, because the spikes actually suggest that you used a high aperture.
I don't like the small glowing tower-thing in the upper right hand corner. It's not connected to the rest of the image and distracts from the interesting areas. 7.
