6 - Nice effect. Criticism; perhaps a tighter crop on the left, and more (dependent) on the right, especially for the Challenge.

November Afternoon

6 - Criticism; frame is too 'heavy' for this in my opinion. Like to see it perhaps 'bigger' (height obviously), with more 'fore grass' - just think the size restrictions mean you lose too much for this shot in the Challenge, therefore turn it into a 'different shot', maybe, depending what you had. Sure it looks much better 'wider'.

Reflections of an Onion Skin

6 - Good idea. Criticism; difficult, but perhaps a little more defintion and 'contrast'. Some 'minor dust', etc visible, but otherwise a good concept. Perhaps, in this instance, some type of frame might have helped, possibly even a different colored background, although not sure on that.

An Accident Waiting to Happen

7 - Good idea, nice and simple composition and colors. Criticism; perhaps a slightly tighter crop on the left, and more banana incorporated on the right, not sure.

Spoils of the Victors

Comment:
7 - Good idea. Criticism; like to see it even sharper angle/perspective (ground up), and perhaps (if possible) just 'back' a little more with more of the ground and 'cups' dominating.

SUSHI !!!

Comment:
7 - Good idea. Criticism; difficult with this shot I imagine, but I would like to have seen perhaps a slightly sharper angle/perspective (ground up), and the focus more on the 'fish', or at least the fish in the bird's mouth, but difficult as I am sure it was keen to get away. Of course, the inclusion of the entire wingspan would have made this even better but, this is an obvious opportunity/timing shot and I think you did well to get this as is.

7 - Like the idea. Criticism; the toning is too overdone in my opinion and lessens the effect, or potential effect here. Maybe an even sharper (side on) angle/perspective. Different crop too, not sure.

One Man's Waste is an Ant's Treasure

Comment:
7 - Good idea and good colors. Criticism; not much, maybe the crop. Also if the ant were a little sharper, and perhaps a few more ants (if possible -timing maybe), may have made this even better in my opinion.

An artist's waste

Comment:
7 - Good idea. Criticism; needs 'something' to bring the potential out more, but no idea how, maybe lighting, angle, not sure. Different crop perhaps too.
