Jumping Rope

Well done. This is a very nice shot, and an excellent example of how to use selective desaturation effectively. Composition is good, however, it may have suffered in voting a little because of the background behind the feet (is it a bush or grass area?)... a uniform background (all asphalt or all grass) may have fair a little better.

This is an excellent idea... well set out... think it's a little soft though, and the crop may be a tad too tight, and the boots are competing with the cigar and books for interest... and I think the boots are losing.

Superb composition and brilliant use of selective desaturation.

This is a very powerful image. Centered composition doesn't help this IMO. The subject and the clarity are excellent though... think this will be in the top 10.

This is SHARP... not a fan of the centred composition, but the sharpness and colours make up for that somewhat.

I've bumped this up a point from what I original gave it while doing my voting. On closer inspection when commenting led me to believe that I was a bit harsh initially... this is crystal clear sharp... could have perhaps done with a tad more colour (saturation) and the flakes of fish food are somewhat distracting, but this is a very goot photo... much better than most in this challenge.

This is something unique in this challenge... what is real, and what is a reflection? or is this one concourse with an escalator going under it... I like it, though I doubt Joe Average voter on DPC will give it the time it deserves, unfortunately. However, I think you're a good chance to pick up a posthumous award (or similar).

This is an image that needed a good title to get the viewer to explore the image, and you've done well here. It's a solid image, though it might have done better if it was a little sharper... feels a bit soft.

Climbing your way to the top

This is a very nice photo, and a style of photo I expected to see more of in the challenge... but surprisingly, there were very few of this type and I think this will do well as a result of not being one of an over done sub theme. The b&w processing suits this shot well... it's nice and sharp... only criticism of the composition is the amount of weight the rock at the centre bottom has in the image.

On my voting pass though this challenge, I gave this a 7, but now on my commenting pass, I'm going to bump this up to an 8 (along with only 4 other images). This is a great shot... totally different from anything else in the challenge... you have great vision, and that you managed to capture this moment speaks volumes for you skill. The more I look at it, the harder I find it not to give it a 9... bugger it... I'll give you a 9. Congratulations.
