Late Summer Sandles

This photo has some flaws, like the blowouts in the out of focus background, but the mood is still strong. The composition helps a bit as well. Brown, orange and blue work together. I originally scored this an 8 and I still stand behind that.

At the End of the day

Strange, the line of the zipper is in the middle of the horizontal part of the pic, but all the other parts like color, aperture control/dof, vertical subject placement and lighting makes this a pretty strong photo in this challenge. 8

DANCING SHOES?!

Comment:
Not that it matters, but I am wondering, was this shot the way I see it or perhaps lying down/sideways/upsidedown. It must hurt to stand like that without those special ballet shoes?
I like the light, light balance and B&W tone here. The subject placement is a bit straight on and in the middle. 8

The colors and glow vs the darkness works very well here. Nice wide crop combined with the subject placements gives a good balanced frame. Good work. 8

The diagonal angle has created a very dynamic image with a good balance in the frame. No other elements to distract from the main subjects. The light vs dark works well. 8

Spinning Circles

Good photo, the movement makes it interesting. The tone is soft and calm, it's relaxing to look at - perhaps knowing that someone is sweating and that I am hangin behind a screen helps too :) - It has a classic touch.

Good B&W, the contents work well in this tone. The gradation from light to dark in the upper part is smooth and pleasent.
I like the composition, but would prefer a more square crop. The space in the lower fifth of the photo does little for the photo, it could do without.
A view on someones back like this, with the shoe on the floor, makes me wonder what the person is doing. The effect is some kind of curiosity and expectation. A good way to catch the viewer. 9

Interesting toning but strange effect with the light around the buildings and hills. The object in the front is in the way. 7

Love the colors, the backlighting also adds interest.
The only thing I do not like are the tree branches at the left.
Good photo, 8.

Honey, I want that window there, no there, no there, no there, no I want a door.....

Nice architectural shot, I like the inclusion of the bicycle.
That also makes it feel a bit.... Dutch?
