Message is good. I think your angle may be too much. Reading the concrete building is difficult. Did you move some to the left and try a shot from there? 5 -danny

Pleasing composition. I think the white pawn may be just a little too centered, but not overly. Good use of depth of field to draw the viewer to your main subject. 6 -danny

1002 uses for duct tape. It does seem that the rest of the world is tired of hearing us defend our freedom. Good interpretation of the challenge topic. 6 -danny

I know you wanted to include all the branches of the right tree, but by doing so you have an unbalanced amount of space behind the church. There would be nothing wrong with cropping some of the branches off so that the image isn't heavy on the left. Great colors and lighting. 8 -danny

Square crop to loose the light on the left. 5 -danny

It's unique. I see what you're going for here, to bad the DPC rules prevent you from getting the true x-ray feel you're wanting. 5 -danny

I remember all this... and had to update all the PC's at my work... what a pain. I'm glad you included the flash light here, it makes the image complete. 8 -danny

Here is a case of an excellent photo that is put into a challenge with a title hoping to make it fit. As far as this shot technically, it's near perfect... however, I have a hard time giving a score without taking into concideration that we are trying to meet a challenge subject here. If you followed the thread I posted in on the forums, my opinion is quite clear there. 7 -danny

Nice concept. White balance is a biggie here. Your yellow cast is a result of tungsten lighting. Most cameras allow for a white balance to correct that. Also, a second fill light on the right to even out some of the hard shadows would give you a more finished look. 6 -danny

Portrait mode would really help you here. Also, stand back some so your perspective isn't so skewed. Nice blue sky. 5 -danny
