V Nice idea - hangs off title, but good photo. giraffe looks fractionally soft, and some varied lighting might have imcreased the number of catchlights, giving greater depth to the toys.

It's Been Downhill Ever Since.....

good, simple symbolism. nice lighting and the cropped focus point works for me. Maybe could have lined the DoF on the edge of the bite with the stalk?

Beginning of Spring

lots going on here pretty flowres. low resolution probably does not fo image justice, as to get detail the sharpening is tough: looks a bit oversharpened (but I see that is probably important to get the detail). Sky is a little over exposed - whole image could be a fraction darker on my screen. If so, best done by underexposing the image in the camera to preserve sky detail.

nice colour and composition! water is slightly "soft" Longish exposure? if so - not sure how that could be fixed.

loevly strong fire image. flame on the left is a little distracting as it is so bright in comparison, but overall very nice.

Light Beams

Comment:
Abstract and bold with it. Nice, strong image. Not very sharp opn the edge of the beams (though this may be intentional). Abstrat element lost slightly below the bottom beam, where the shadow is affected by a reflection of light, it appears.

Nice abstract - cannot put my finger on it, buit seems a little artefacting, possibly a doube reflection or movement in your subject matter. Like the striations, though.

hey - for those of outside the US, that's not even very old... let alone the beginning! Lovely pic though, well composed. Nice b&w treatment.

Good representation of challenge. Composition works well, but you have bad artefacting in the red spot - overcompression?
