Great lines in this. The biker coming around the curve, in combination with the direction the biker is looking, engages the viewer completely. Nice! Great background with the fall color as well. Well done!

Fishermans reflection

Dang, having a hard time with this one. I really like the photo. The reflection is nice and you did a fine job controlling the exposure (kept the whites).

If this was a 'S' challenge, like find the letter kind of thing, it would be high on my list. As is, I don't see how there's any 'S' shaped line leading line "that leads the viewer through the image". At least not consistent with any depth perception.

Obviously, JMO of course. :) Best of luck to you in the challenge.

I like the foggy atmosphere, and the moss is fun. The 'S' you've chosen isn't much of a leading line IMO, which is how I think this challenge is meant to be pursued. JMO of course. :) Good luck in the challenge.

autumn nature reserve

This has a very nice curve to it. I really like the lower half of this photo. The upper half is a bit blah. Not that you could do much about it probably unless you could climb a tree to change the POV. :P Did you mess around with Curves adjusments, Contrast, Histogram maybe? Could be this work monitor but it feels like this could "pop" a little more.

All JMO of course, and overall I liked this very much, especially your dead-on meeting of the challenge theme. I've already voted a few days ago (gave you a 7)...just coming around to comment. Good luck!

Amazing how long this was in service. Thanks for the bg story.

This is an excellent study on light and texture, and it's naturally grunged! :P Good eye to see this and capture it so well. Nice!

I think this shot will work just fine as a corporate photo. It's fresh, not stuffy, and the pose is quite natural. Are you submitting the BW or color - just curious. :)

BTW - Fun story. I can just imagine the scene as this photo session took place. :D

I can understand your choice of subject for the 30 day wrapup completely! :)

He does look happy. Is that camo he's wearing? :P

Congrats on the addition to the family! Take care.

I really like the layout of this photo. The directional lines are exceptional and the contrast is perfect for BW. Nicely seen and captured!

Classic subject that is well suited for this BW photo. Great eye to see this and to capture it in a way to do it justice.
