Very nice composition and colors. I think it has great DOF and fills the frame very well. Nice work.

I really hope this does well, but I fear for the out of focus fire fighter. I think this could be the winning shot if he were in focus. I really hope this does well though because its a great shot, with great composition and great colors. Nice work.

Combatting the Big Silence: AIDs is Killing Africa

I think you captured a powerful image, however there is just no pain or suffering in your image. Let me explain. I believe having AIDS in Africa is a huge ordeal, yet the girl is sitting with head phones, not even seeming to have a care in the world. I think if she was more involved with the shot it would be better. I think you picked a great topic however, and I really do like the shot. Nice work.

I really like your take on the challenge. Very powerful statement. The angle you approached and composition really work for this shot. Great B&W conversion. I think this shot in advanced would have crushed any street photography challenge out there. Great work.

Great capture. I really think a lot of people tried to capture a walk, but your the only one that got a close up of the walkers faces. Much more believeable picture. Nice work and grea capture.

Such a powerful image. Even if this isn't San Diego it still has meaning in the picture, especially for me, being from San Diego. I really like your composition and its a great title. I think its a great capture and hope it does well for you.

Really great capture. I truly love the expression on her face. I really like the composition, I feel there is a bit of movement on her face but its not that distracting. Still my highest rated shot. Nice work.
