This image has an excellent point of view but I agree with a previous commenter - crop more of the image. Often, in pictures, less is more - let the viewer fill in all the other details - we don't need the rest of the truck to know what it is. In this challenge, I gave you a 6 - it was a well taken image.

my favorite image in the challenge. I think its the POV, combined with all the empty space. contrast is a little high but caused by sunlight, yes? Maybe its cause I'm such a baseball fan... 9

beautiful rendition. Can still see the washer in the background, but that can be fixed with further editing. The sharpness, detail, and color draw my attention away enough that I don't see it. Well kinda. :) 9

graphically the strongest image of the challenge. Sharp, clean, colorful. Should place well. 9 Bump to 10. The probable winner. And deservedly so.

The lighting works well on this but I feel the depth of field is too short.

Peacock

This image is very well taken - the bird is sharp, DOF is good, colors well done. I think where this could be improved is in the crop. The bird is facing towards the right so if you cut the left third of the image, it would put the bird looking across the image. This would make the image more dynamic. We all know of a peacocks huge array of feather so, even without it in the image, our minds fill it in. Doing this would bring the bird closer to the viewer for a more intimate shot. Also, as it is, we cannot see his eye or what he might be looking at. Very slightly lightening the eye or the space around it would make the eye stand out. I would bet, with those two changes, this image would score a point better with the DPC voters.

Home In A Rose

composition well done. Slight softness of the petals works very well. For me, if the depth of field were a little larger, bringing the spider into better focus, it would be a better image. I know - almost an impossibility in the situation you have here. Maybe if he was a little darker - not sure - but the rose vastly outweighs him visually so he doesn't really hold my attention.

Monkey Business

I think this would be a much stronger image if the left third and right third were cropped to make it a vertical image. That would get rid of the tree and most of the rock and focus the viewers attention on the monkeys. Great timing!
