At first I was going to recommend a crop to exclude the people on the right, then realized without them, you'd just have a cop with a clown nose. How goofy would that look? You could crop a little off from the left to remove those people though :-)

Decent candid shot. 5 -danny

Good lighting. Where's your light source? Underneath? I think your focus may be a little soft, but overall well done and nice to look at. 7 -danny

The Money Shot

Excellent representation of the topic. I like this. I wouldn't mind a second light source to lessen the hard shadows on the right. 7 -danny

Follow the guiding light to your local House of Worship

Sometimes even a great beam of light doesn't make a shot. The church with the house next to it and the white in front of it seem to actually bring the shot down instead of lift it up. I'm sure it's a nice church and all, but the muted tones and composition seem off balanced and flat. 5 -danny

AFTER SHOPPING

Don't you wish you could use the dodge tool and lighten the left side of that bag some? That and a crop to exclude most of the left wall would make for a better composition. The left wall doesn't add anything to the presentation, it just pulls the eye away from the subject on the bag. 6 -danny

Camouflage

I think this is a good idea and composition, what got you here is the colors. What was the reason for changing your hues? Where'd the pink come from? You could have boosted the red and blue without introducing the pink and the shot would have been stronger in my opinion. 5 -danny

Strong and Proud and Like the Country He Represents

Looks like a color version of the other eagle. I think camera limitations are going to make this unappealing to the voters. Nothing against your shot, just limits of the camera. I think with the amount of noise in the shot, that a straight black and white conversion and square crop would have made a stronger shot. 5 -danny

God Loves You

Don't you just love room light and shallow depth of field. It can make almost any object stand out from its surroundings. I also feel that the center composition works well here. 7 -danny

Flowers Forever
by melb

Comment:
Hrm, lunchtime walk, look down, snap some sidewalk flowers, put a title, upload. The color saturation of the red ones is oversaturated. The composition is lacking in artistic creativity. Did you try a square crop on just the middle part of the image? Did you take photo's of them at different angles? Did you try other angles to try and bring out the beauty of these 'Flowers Forever'? 4 -danny

They say guns don't kill people...Tell that to her mother!

I'm sorry for the loss. I think that a more dramatic view of the gun and just part of the torn image may have made a stronger impact to the viewers. Sometimes in photography less is more. 5 -danny
