5: There are things I like about this such as the way the road disappears into the distance but the OOF portion past the walkers has an artifical feel to it - I'm not saying it is artificial though!

Mawnin in Nawlins (Morning in New Orleans)

7: This is a good nighttime capture. I wish those highrise buildings weren't there are the light in the sky looks great but they obscure it too much.

A Fresh Start

5+2: Generally an OK image with a good capture on the coffee flowing into the cup. All props in an image are taken into account with voters so I'd suggest staying away from controversial topics like religion if possible - a crossword in a newspaper would have been a better prop to use. I'll add on 2 points to compensate for some of those that will mark down for the bible being used.

A morning stroll

5: The person just seems dwarfed by the bridge which conflicts with the title you've given the image.

The crack of a new dawn, far from freedom.

5: A good attempt at the skyline and not being local I don't know if the local you took this from is hard to shoot from or not. I feel there is too much negative space in the sky and the light to the left of the statue (statue of liberty?) is too bright. The lights at the right of the image seem to be exposed the best IMO.

9: Wonderful feel to this one! The only thing I can fault is the cropping - maybe a bit tighter on the left andmore space on the right?

A Walk in Late Morning Shadows

5: The building are interesting but the shadows dont do them justice. I also feel like I'm torn between looking at the buildings and the person - a bit more space on the right and I think I'd know to concentrate on the person.

Sipping Coffee on the Verandah While He Collects Pollen
by Shy Clicker

Comment:
6: I think the title is going to hurt this as it makes it seem as if you have contrived to fit it into the challenge when you didn't need to - the bee collecting pollen could be a usual morning activity in itself. The image is ok but his right wing is clearly cut by a foreground plant that is OOF which for me spoils the feel.

The A.M. Ritual

6: This image has a sad feel to it with the chosen subject. The image itself has been processed nicely (I like the look of it). It neither shouts "wow" or has enough emotional feel to go over the 6 though.
