gorgeous baby. Amazing eyes. great focus levels, catchlights, etc. Only criticism is slight lack of ingenuity in relation to challnege subject.

gorgeous image. stunning chiaroscuro. only criticism is lack of ingenuity in relation to the challenge theme - leaves a bit to the title. But lovely.

Lewis and Clark Meet -The Epic Journey To Explore The Lousiana Purchase Began, Oct. 1803

nice idea, but there is far too much blank space around the central element. And the tree growing out of statue's foot distracts. Colours v muted. Very grey background should be minimised.

It All Starts With One Leaf

good detail and lighting. Subject not very clear (what is it?) though and elements of image to sides distract.

Striking image. Good scene. Border really detracts for me (thinking postcards here!). Tree might benefit from slight sharpening, and sun area is a little overexposed (for a key compositional element).

EGG

aha - I spot a monitor being used here... need to get the lighting perfect if you are going to get decent marks for this style of photography, but the hand and egg are too obviously distinct from the chicken.

very pretty image, good colour and detail. Thematically a little challenging - I am not enough of a horticulturalist to know whether this plant is beginning, but willing to give the benefit of doubt!

interesing, but you need to use the full 640 pixels available to you. Also, key elements (sun, glare) are very central, leaving the LHS a little redundant.

Need to ensure you use the full 640 pixels available to you. As it is, small picture has significant pixelation. Shame - as interesting image.

Untouched by Human's Hand

pretty skyshot, but needs some work. Need to crop out bottom right hand corner where window distracts. Need to increase contrast and saturation to improve drama and detail and colour. Composition is 50:50, top and bottom, and woulf benefit from rule of thirds application. Finally - need to ensure that picture is correctly sized to 640 pixels to show the image off properly!
