Shower at Dusk

I am afraid this one is just to out of focus. The bright spot in the center seems confusing as well.

Drought: Watching And Waiting

Great photo, saturation of color is amazing. Didn't feel it depicted the challenge really well. I wasn't going to submit anything myself because we are also experiencing a drought, but thankfully on the day the challenge was due we had major thunderstorms.

Love the colors. Green and blue are my favorite combination. Appeared to be pixelated, though. Can't give any advice on how to clear that up. Maybe the shutter was too slow?

Alone in the storm

I like the purple in the upper right corner. It would have been nice to somehow get more of that in the image. The rest of the image really seemed too dark. It was probably a tough lighting situation.

Nice monochromatic composition.

REally clear image. Detail of water is really awesome on the face as well as falling on the face. Don't like too much the stubble on the face. Too bad it wasn't all grown in. That would have topped this photo from a 9 to a 10

Drinking or Diving?

Could have been less shallow depth of field. For this image, I think having it all sharply focused would have improved it. But that is only my opinion so don't take it to heart. Can't please everybody, as I have more than discovered in these challenges.

Walking in the rain

Very compelling and attractive image. Perhaps a little too overprocessed. The childs colors are off. Maybe the focus wasn't really sharp when you took the picture, and you tried to compensate in editing. Still, given composition and attractiveness, it is a very nice photo.

Liked the concept really well. There is quite a bit of grain, though, in the image, especially in the background. Some cameras have a setting that reduces noise in the image. Also, if you have a TIF setting on your camera, as I do, I find that using it for these challenges create too large a file to compress down to the requirements of the challenge.
