Dark lighting

The lighting is great. I'm not a fan of the power lines running right through the middle of them though. It's a little distracting. Great colors in the shot though.

Mourning

The image is just too bright for my tastes. Certainly is using light (per challenge) but the bookcase is blown out along with some highlights of the door.

Light

Very nice photo. The rays of sunlight are nice and visible. good contrast of greys and whites. The photo moves me as a viewer and makes me think of a religious advertisement. Maybe something like "Be Still and Know that I am your God". Nice job. 9.

Reaching for light

I like the use of negative space but the subject at the bottom do not really draw me to it. It needs something a bit more bold at the bottom IMO.

City Hall at Night

This is a nice image and good illustration of the lighting challenge criteria.

The areas I see where this could be improved are: (just my opinion of course)
The white base of the statue is a bit stronger contrast to the yellowed building then i might prefer. The image is also offset based ont he crop. The negative space to the right does not really enhance the photo so by vertically cropping closer to the building (maybe by the street light), I think the image would present itself better.

Holy Enlightenment

The image does not appear to be in focus and the big dark dot around the area of the cross is a bit distracting.

Fantastic shot. It has a WOW factor that many of the other entries simply do not. Nice composition, color, focus. The one critique I might have is that the trees in the background have just enough light on them that they look fuzzy. I thought it was dust on my screen until I noticed it would not wipe off. If it were solid black back there it would be a 10.

Nice dramatic effect with posting the notes on the wall. Very creative. 9.

Leaves and light

I like the leaves and the lighting effect on the back side of them, but the strong sun and flare coming from the left side washes out a lot of the photo.
