Freedom

Colors are nice. Her expression seems a bit strained and the free-flying cloth is cut off rather abruptly, both of which detract from the happy sort of feeling I would expect to get from this kind of shot. But then I don't think a pregnant woman ever feels totally free, inhabited by another being as she is, particularly at that stage where the being is making him/herself known via kicks, stretches, hiccups and the like.

Elk In The Park

Nice looking beast. I think I would have cropped down to a head and neck portrait-type shot. Not entirely fond of the OOF elk bits in the foreground as I think they detract from the majestic look of the subject.

Aww :-) Did you mean for the background to be askew? The red door makes it pretty noticeable. Being only somewhat askew almost always looks accidental to me.

THAT lawn looks like a bear to mow ;-) Fun perspective.

Pigeon chasing

FWIW this got my highest vote in the challenge. Pretty much every kid who encounters pigeons in the city learns this game ... as does every pigeon ;-) *I* think it should have placed higher!

Under the Pier glow

Oooh, eerie. I like the mood and tones. It feels a little tilted; I think that may be because it's not perfectly symettrical on the right and left, though the centeredness of the composition makes me expect symmetry. Poles are probably not all straight if this has been around awhile; makes it a tough shot to pull off.
