Interesting abstract, but I find myself trying to turn my head around to view it the other way up.

Clever idea, good use of square format, and good placement within the frame. I wish the glass was a little cleaner, and the white reflection lets the photo down a little, but possibly not a lot that could have been done to reduce it.

Death of a Bubble

How many frames did you shoot trying to get this exact moment! Impressive timing. Super crisp focus, but let down somewhat by the background which makes the bursting bubble quite hard to see.

Psychedelic soap bubbles

Wow, there is some serious colour saturation boosting going on here - neat effect! I would prefer the bubbles to take up more of the frame; for me the negative space doesn't add anything positive to the photo.

Strong composition - nice and bold. Good and original take on the challenge.

Evolution

I like the concept and the title. I do find, 'though, that there isn't anywhere for my eyes to settle, the photo is kind of uncomfortable to view, if that makes any sense whatsoever (and perhaps it is time I revisited the otician!).

Certainly made me smile! A bit of a shame the lighting on the duck isn't stronger.

Doomed

Incredibly powerful photograph, Joe. The pale face, huge dark eyes, and placement of the lamb do combine to make you look very scared and vulnerable. I see this was two and a half years ago - hope all is well now.

This is how snowmen are born!

Positive:
-Love the idea
-Really good texture in the snow - and no footsteps either
-Excellent exposure of the snow, with really pleasing highlights and shadows

Negative:
-Slight question mark over the white balance, which is a little on the blue side, although that said, it does suit the image
-I would crop out the pink lens flare at the top
-smudge (?sensor dust) bottom left, which you may be able to repair with photoshop or the Gimp.

Overall - I like it!

My favourite of the challenge - a photo that really draws the viewer in - and a very well deserved blue.
