A Hop, Skip & A Jump

7 - Nice composition and balance and capture. Difficult to adjust the colors/contrast I imagine, as already looks a little 'blown' in some areas, but could just be lack of grass &/or a processing effect (apologies in advance if wrong). Not sure on the frame, mostly for the fact I'd rather see the extra pixels of the shot itself. Also not sure, but perhaps a more finely tuned crop may have given this a little extra, but your call, obviously.

7 - Good capture. Wish the ball was in the picture too for added context/story. Perhaps a more finely tuned crop & nudge rotate (if you had the room) may have also given this a bit more of an edge.

Kick-flip

Comment:
7 - Good moment/concentration capture. Simple clothing helps. Perhaps a variation in cropping may have given this a little extra, in my opinion.

Wave Jump

Comment:
7 - Good capture. Difficult, especially with the whites, but perhaps a tweaking of the colors, etc may have given this a bit more 'pop'. Quality dependent, perhaps a tighter crop too, but the context/scale is also good here so who knows.

Comment:
I gave this a 7. Really liked the strong perspective and bitumen/asphalt/road texture captured. A slight variation in the composition, to try to gain even more balance and symmetry, likely given this a little extra in my opinion.

A-peel-ing

Comment:
I gave this a 7. Thought the texture captured was quite good and the composition also good. The colors tweaked, a fraction sharper (difficult) and a slight variation in the framing, likely make this even better in my opinion.

Tenaciously smooth

I gave this an 8. Liked the composition and texture(s), 'syrup' and the wood. The only real thing that detracted was the grain in the black/darker areas, but fairly minor. A variation in the lighting, to really make the syrup/syrup flow 'pop' more, may have also made this even better in my opinion.

Faultline

Comment:
I gave this an 8. Liked the colors, perspective, lines and texture captured. Difficult without losing the good perspective and lines as just mentioned, but perhaps a more finely tuned crop may have made this even better in my opinion. Possibly also a little wider, not sure, as does work well as is.

Quicksilver
by srbrubaker

Comment:
I gave this an 8. Good shot and perspective. Couldn't work out at the time if this was just water with cloud/sky reflections. Either way, your title was good and very apt. Colors were nice and the texture of the wood/deck and the 'quicksilver' was very good. A variation in composition, cropping or angle/perspective (although I realize difficult without losing that unusual reflection), may have made this even better in my opinion.

Lava Channels

Comment:
I gave this a 4. To be honest, I don't remember this image strongly enough from voting to give purely 'retrospective' feedback. However, after reading your Photographer's Comments and looking more closely at the image now, I can see what it is and what you were likely aiming for. Perhaps just a little more context (still keeping it abstract'ish'), not quite so close (otherwise a macro (apologies in advance, doesn't look like you used a macro lens(?))) and perhaps a slight variation in the lighting and angle/perspective, especially to show the texture(s) more, may have made this better in my opinion. Overall a little dark and not enough 'pop', especially in the definitions of the textures either on the surface of the shell or the 'waves'. The lines and cropping are good.
