St. Joseph's

Technically, this photo is very good. Clean lines, sharp detail and good tonal range. I think it did not score higher because it lacks impact. Composition might have been improved by shooting from an angle rather than straight on, or backing up and putting the buildings off-center, or perhaps cropping much of the sky out (or alternatively to add much more sky to emphasize the upward sweep metaphorically). I'm not sure about this, but think the photo needed a bit more punch.

Night Light for the Weary

Thanks for the kind comments. The dark line on the stone wall is the shadow of the lamp post (note that the post is lit on the front side and casts its own shadow to the background). As I understand the rules for this shot, dodge and burn is not allowed, so I couldn't figure out a way to get rid of the shadow without lightening the whole photo too much.

I wish this were larger. It's difficult to judge a photo when it is so small...detail gets lost. I think this could have ribboned if it were larger. Nice composition and colors.

This is a nice image under difficult lighting. I wish the shot were not cropped at the top (if indeed it was cropped) to give the archway a bit more framing. I like it this way too. Good composition.

I really like this idea, but the background is so dark on my monitor that I almost missed what you were doing. Composition is good (what I can see of it). I am sorry I can't be more positive, I think this could have been a ribbon.
