The Runners

Nice capture. I think that your runners are competing for the attention (pun intended). You tried to pan on the guy in the middle-right, right? However, the other guy ran into the frame, also in good focus. The DOF otherwise works well on the other runners. Although centered compositions are not highly valued, it could have worked better in this case.

Nice capture. The composition could have been worked on some more. For example, trying to follow the rule of 3rds (cropping more from the bottom), and perhaps moving the chimney more to the left. I'm also not sure if you needed such a long exposure - the lights appear blown too much. Hard to fix this with basic editing though.

Nice capture of the moving water. However, the composition is not interesting enough for a higher placement. (I wish I was wrong). Good luck.

I understand that the engine had to be soft because of the obvious vibrations, but it ruins the image. SInce you have decided to leave the front out of the image, you could have cropped out the engine as well, leaving only the driver and the wheel in play. It is a general rule of thumb to leave some space in front of the moving object, but in this case, you could have played with leaving the space behind the vehicle to 1) avoid having OOF engine and 2) enhance the effect of movement, i.e. the car ran out of frame?

Nice long exposure, the leaves look marvelous, but the composition is not too appealing. Perhaps the fact that the stream is centered in the photo ruins it? All the 'action' is in the top-right half of the photo, the lower-left is uninteresting and dark. Perhaps a different crop would have produced a more striking image.

Lower left part is messy - while I understand the attempt to keep the whole statue in the photo, it would have probably been a better choice to leavethe bottom out and concentrate instead on the head. It also hurts that the top is cut off. The stream above the horse's head is more spectacular than the bottom, plus it is easier to capture these drops as the velocity is much smaller up there than at the bottom.
Also, by not having such elongated photo, you could make better use of 640 limit, by making your image wider.
If you can, you should re-shoot this with the above in mind, and post it to the forums for discussion.

Wonderful! The only thing here is either she had too much powder on her chin or you over-neatimaged the photo. It looks too plastic to me.
The eyes came out perfect.

Wow! The best one of the day so far. The only thing taking away from it is the black, feels unnatural and prevents me from scoring this with a 10.

So happy I could just hurl...

lighting is not the best. The flare, and the blown highlights take away from the image. Should have used some fill light to reduce the necessary exposure time.

The big pumpkin appears to be OOF, or is just too soft. Wouldn't be a problem normally, but the lines in the background are tack sharp and take away from the main object(s).
