Icelandic June Midnight

Interesting capture, particularly as it is midnight! Like the idea, wish the composition were a bit stronger with more negative space around front feet.

I think it is almost impossible to capture bright clouds and sky in midday without totally underexposing adjacent scenery. You've done an adequate job here, but not bang-up, and it is very difficult to appreciate the scenery while distracted by the very bright clouds. Would love to see this scene taken in early morning or late evenin light.

Looks underexposed and the horizon may be bit off. I suspect you had difficult lighting circumstances to work with here.

I like the use of selective desat in the hat, and think your composition is solid. The lighting looks a bit flat, though, and the focus too soft.

Jelly

Comment:
Jellyfish are difficult to photo (am assuming you took this through glass in an aquarium.) I think you will probably lose votes based on the fact that the jelly's whole tail is not present, and tentacles could be a little sharper. Still a nice capture!

This is a fun photo, great expression. Something your family will cherish!

Deep in the Woods
by JEFFJSB

Comment:
I've always liked the solitude and mystery of woods, so this photo resonates with me. There's something in the color and balance of composition that doesn't quite feel right, though. I think it may be the large tree center left seems almost like it is blocking me from entering the photo. I also think it may be just a bit dark.

Peek-a-boo hippo
by Tikicharm

Comment:
Love how the hippo is peeking up at you. I think what may hurt you on this shot is the number of conflicting patterns (rock, hippo hide, water) that all pull in different directions. I also think there is too much contrast between the rock and the hippo, but not enough on the hippo himself (would like to see more detail in his hide). Still an interesting shot and right place at right time.

Different colours

The lamppost bisects this photo in a way that does nothing to add to the composition IMO. However, I do like the tone of the roof against the sepia sky.

Look Who's Smiling Now!

I really like this capture, as the spider is interesting and the background a nice contrast. I think for a higher score in this contest, the spider would have to be sharper, though. What a funny face on his abdomen!
