Comment:
Composition/Crop = Great (horizon is in the center but works here. the main rock silhouette is set on the right 1/3rd very well. Bird could have been in a better location. darn him!
Lighting = Exceptional (love the fact the sun is completely behind the main rock formation)
Color = Exceptional (The gradient is spectacular)
Creativity = Great (I have not seen many similar scenery images)
Concept/Story = Great
Focus/DOF = Great
Subject = Great (Meets challenge requirements)
Wow Factor = Exceptional
Marketability = Exceptional

Overall I love everything about this image. Especially the 'ghostly' apearance of the furthest rock formation. I don't think this image would have worked without it.

Humming Bird Moth

Comment:
Composition/Crop = Great
Lighting = Great
Color = Good (I am guessing the flower color is bleeding thru because his wings are flapping so fast, makes it interesting)
Creativity = Good
Concept/Story = Great (I had not seen one of these before)
Focus/DOF = Great (I like how you have movement on the wings and yet such clarity. I'm not sure I could pull that off yet, myself)
Subject = ok (The subject is not purple, though he appears to be here. Its a little confusing since this isn't his true colors.)
Wow Factor = Good
Marketability = Good (Not being the true color would effect this factor)

Overall I found this image interesting since I haven't seen this moth before. He has great markings.

Creativity = Great
Concept/Story = Exceptional
Focus/DOF = Great
Subject = ok (Does not quite fit the challenge requirements)
Wow Factor = Exceptional

Overall = Overall I loved this image. Well thought out and composed.
A little post processing on the color could have been done to meet the challenge but the image doesn't need it.

Toxic
by Djabordjabor

Comment:
Composition = ok
Lighting = Good (Love the highlight on the upper left edge, but not liking the reflection on the lower left side. More than likely the softbox but not sure)
Color = good (could use more purple in the image but I like the swirly.)
Creativity = ok
Concept/Story = ok (green would have made a better 'toxic')
Focus/DOF = Good
Subject = Meets Challenge requirements
Wow Factor = ok/Good
Marketablility = ok (can use some cloning and touchup)

Smile

Beautiful smile, gorgeous baby!

Composition/crop = Good
Lighting = Great
Creativity = Good
Focus = Good
Subject = cute as heck but needs nose and mouth cleaned up.
Color = Love the purple tones but a bit of noise in the shadows.
I thought it might be the fabric texture but if you look around the chin its a touch noisey there and inside the mouth.
The selvage edge of the fabric is shown. Should have been removed preshoot.
I love the highlight in the eyes.
Concept/Story = Great
wow factor = Good
Marketability = Good (with noise reduction)
