This is a beautiful shot. It captures the sky and the foreground with great aplomb. DOF is absolutely top notch, it has great drama and wonderful atmosphere… (10)

Great idea and a really good shot… Although slightly boring – I think – it's still a really well taken shot. (8)

Our New Life Together

This is a well thought out, romantic, tender shot… It captures the essence of the challenge. It is technically superb (in my opinion of course) and I think this could be a winner (may be) - I have no hesitation in scoring the max (10)

The Force Be With You
by karmat

Comment:
This is a great image. It conveys so much – my interpretation is first day at (a new) school. The child in the picture has been – by accident or by design – posed to perfection. A great title would have been 'I need a hug'. The loneliness conveyed makes you want to reach out and reassure the little chap that everything's going to be all right. The angle produces a superb sense of scale and creates a feeling of trepidation for both the child and the onlooker. This is a really professionally executed shot and deserves 10 easily. Great shot all round, good luck…

New bales of hay

This is a love it/ hate it shot… Personally, I love it. Use of B&W stops it from being over cluttered; this gives the image more personality and the light reflection off the bales has been well used. Overall, it's a fairly boring shot made interesting by good technique… No offence meant by the way… (8)

A new day

This would have been a great shot had the sun been much lower in the sky (I think); just peeping over the roof perhaps. It looks too much like deliberate over exposure to create the atmosphere, rather than natural… Good shot, good idea…

My New Neighborhood
by Guillermo

Comment:
The idea is good and the picture is fine. It does seem (in my opinion) to lack a central theme. I'm not really sure how to be constructive here, but I'll try. It has a snapshot quality about it. Perhaps, taking the shot lying down or from another (equally odd angle) would have helped…
