Day 1 - Ball

I like the play of strong shapes and color, and how that white stripe guides you into it all.

I like the furtive feel of this shot, the graininess, blur, and perspective all contribute to that, but what I don't find appealing is not so much that the face is partially obscured but how it is obscured - as Melethia says, "smashed into a pole".

Adagio in B Minor
by posthumous

Comment:
Beautiful processing and I like how you captured the light of the day in the sheen on the boys' backs, and how the dark and light patterning of the background tree line makes it's own rhythmic contribution to the composition. I admit I did not see the rhythm in this until I was able to read your explanation - but I appreciate the thought and subtlety here. I find myself wanting to see less of the foreground grass...but I can't tell if removing it will help or harm the image overall.

day 9 - traffic cone
by GinaRothfels

Comment:
What I really like about this is the lighting, and how you composed it to make the long shadow act as a leading line. Such a simple subject that most people would walk on by, but I think you made something interesting out of it.

Spider's Spinnaker

Very pretty - the gossamer effect, the color contrast; for me though the framing seems too cramped for the billowy nature of the subject, I feel myself wanting to see more room around it, to also see the web in full.

Day Six — Pebble in the Rain
by Bear_Music

Comment:
All right, I guess I'll have to third it - "zen". :) Great detail in the layer of water, like we're high above looking down on land masses.

Effective perspective.

I get a sense of agitation here, which leads me to think the blur is more because the subjects are truly hurrying and not just caught by a long exposure. Why is the person in the back fleeing? What propels them all along? Good job making the viewer wonder about your subjects.

Hard to look at this and not get the sensation I'm about to be flung. Great subject for blurred motion.

Day 6 - Where did the cat go?
by Bruce_the_Robert

Comment:
Has a restful vibe to it, even though you frame the title as a questioning/search.
