Sugar, were going down

Yeah, I was sure there would be a literal representation of this one. It's funny. Nice capture of the action, but I think the composition could have been worked out better. Maybe a tighter crop to get more impact out of the sugar hitting the liquid. Or maybe just cropping off the top third, to establish the centre of attention away from the middle of the pic where it is now to a better focal point.

Nice idea. Pity there weren't more people on the escalators - I think that would have conveyed the title better.

Nice idea. Even nicer subject... Maybe a slightly smaller aperture would have allowed for sharpness throughout the depth of the image, which I think I would have preferred (my eyes keep getting drawn to the slightly soft fingers - that despite the fact that I keep trying to draw them back to the cleavage...). Oh, and the red really works.

Nice idea. Has an almost Cartier-Bresson feeling to it, but seems to be lacking a bit of interest - maybe more blurred people in the foreground would have served to add life into the photo, whilst the clever angle you chose would have shown the isolation of the subject even more. Also, some more contrast might have added more emotion to the pic.

Funny. I think I would have preferred it if the image were sharper. But I like the composition, and the colour processing.

Poor thing. He looks bummed... Could have used a bump in contrast though - feels a bit flat.

Over my Head (contrast)

There is too much contrast in this photo. The sky is completely blown out, which would be okay if it served to highlight the detail in the trees, but the detail in the trees is completely lost because they are too black. I liked the idea though - it was great for the title.

the beach, sea and sky

I like this photo. Although I think the tones are a bit dull, and the image could have been a lot sharper - hyperfocal depth of field and sharp focus would have helped.

However, I really like how the leading line of the shore pulls your eye up through the dots of colour on the beach around the coastline. Also the dots of colour on the beach offset nicely against the bands of colour running down vertically (grass, sand, sea).

And I don't have a problem with the shoreline in the middle of the pic. The bands of sea colour are nicely balanced by the band of land colour. And the dots of people on the beach are balanced by the bathers in the water.

Maybe that centred composition wouldn't have looked as odd if the sky had been cropped away, and all that was left was the sea separated from the beach...

Lighting could have been a lot more flattering. Maybe an adjustment in the white balance would have helped too.
