Lovely colours in the water.

The thinking man?

Nice portrait and wonderful use of framing to merge into the silhouette making this as much about the negative space as about the subject. Superbly composed.

Why is there a strange pale halo around the entire silhouette - this strikes me as heavily and poorly manipulated.

On the top of the world

Unexpectedly successful - I say unexpectedly because this is one I thought, on seeing the thumbnail, would be boring. Love the detail of her hair blowing forward and the rich sky (is that enhanced?). Nice diagonal of the hill too.

A good choice of subject with sufficient interest to hold the viewer's attention and nicely positioned infront of the sun. Image quality seems a little poor.

In the Zone

Wonderful action shot - love the limited detail where the light defines his back, arms and calves. Compositionally I wonder if it would benefit from a touch more space at the top? Excellent entry!

I take it this is a carved elephant infront of a faked sky - I thought of doing something similar with a carved rhino I just bought back from Kenya! Nice composition. Focus seems soft.

I'm not sure that I see this as a silhouette - it strikes me more as a badly exposed frontal portrait which woujld be better with fill-in light to show her expression than it is with her face and upper torso blacked out. A beautiful composition though.

Beautiful! Love the inclusion of two balloons rather than one - really makes it more striking. In terms of composition, given that there isn't really much more sky than there is water I'd crop the sky down and opt for a centred horizon. Ideally I'd suggest having a touch more sky than you have (to create a one third/ two thirds balance) and I'd also rotate to the right a touch so that the balloons are a touch further left within the frame.

Ant Silhouette

Great idea and composition but focus just not clear enough on the ant.
