That's a BONFIRE!!! Yikes, it's HUGE! Well, I guess that's one way of keeping warm. :D

Are those stars that look like dust specks? Nice job of lighting this.

Classical. I love that vase for two reasons. One, it looks good, and two, it's less prone to glare and reflections than standard glass.

Well done on this still life. Good luck in the challenge.

Gave me a smile. :D Clever and well executed. Could use maybe a bit more 'centering', but still fun nonetheless. Good luck.

Centered But Very Eccentric

Oh, this is very clever and funny. Good idea for the challenge. I wish the photo was a little sharper, a little brighter, less noisy, and had a tad more contrast. Good luck in the challenge.

Gull

The cool blues in the white of the gull makes me think that this entire scene looked a bit different originally. Looks like the selection line is apparent on the gulls right wing (our left when viewing) - where there should be gaps in the tips of the feathers it looks blue. Hmmm. Now I'll have to go look at a seagull pic. :) Certainly met the centered part of the challenge. He-he. Good luck.

That fish needs a microphone, and some color. :D Cute.

I'm guessing the snowboarder was backlit and substantially underexposed? Not sure if you weren't better off leaving him in darkness rather than processing as you did.

The top part over the fence is distracting and pulls the viewers attention away from the core subject of this photo. JMO of course. On the plus side I like the color saturation and general composition (minus the top of the fence). :D Good luck.
