cool image - should be in the extreme action shot challenge, though! Have you used the full 640 pixels?

There was Light

beautiful clkouds. Overall picture quite dark. Picture quite grainy (intentional?). Pleasant as a moderately abstract piece, but missing a focal point for me!

Nice idea Hand looks a faction grainy (intentional?) and while clever, idea lacks a bit of "oomph"! Top of slate is suffering from lens distortion (again, intentional?). Good clean image.

The Brave Unknown

Interesting non-traditional compisition. Like the detail and tone. However, that strip of very green grass does not include any features that draw my attention to it - and does not (in my view) quite balance the strong RHS of the picture.

The two graves at the top right are distractions - wonder if you could have included more of them or cloned them out.

The message is not particularly universal - Confederate or not makes little impact on me (but I assume it may have some significance).

Overall - a nice shot that probably suffered a little (possibly rightly so) for the unusual composition.

Amazing that others did not see the graveyard in this: this was one of the pics I rated high. I liked it a lot! Remember that scores are not everything.

In the Beginning, God Created the Earth

Great polarisation, I think! Love sky colours and fluffy clouds. Foreground maybe a bit dark, and image is not particularly innovative, though.

Beautiful image! Great light and amazinfg scenery caught very well. If I were to criticise, I suppose clouds might be slightly better arranged (though not your responsibility) as quite grey on the horizon. Image is not the most innovative - but I like it a lot.

nice excution of good idea. Like the lighting and composition. Like the negative space in bottom left. Great colouration.

In the beginning of wineyard rising

like the composition and model. good use of b&w - all shades represented, focus on the figure. slight blurring in the tree branches? Perhaps an effect of the resizing. Very nice, if not amazingly exciting image.

The Whole World

Comment:
nice idea - well executed! Lighting looks a bit strong in blue/white tones to me, as the colour in the figurine looks fractionally washed out on my monitor. The shodow from the globe is distracting on the figure - maybe some secondary lighting required, or the main lighting slightly less head on?
