This is very nice in the way the light and shadow divides the frame in half. I bet that the people who run the tire shop would like to have a frame with 5X7's of this series of photos as a sort of thank you, when you finish shooting the series. Who knows, you may pick up an ad shooting job or two from people who go there to get tires and see it. Everyone needs tires at sometime. So far it's been a cool series of images, and they have made an interesting addition to the shots in the side challenge.

That is awesome nature! Good for you for making the decision to go there when you did. It's also good that there are no flying cows in Aussie land. : )

Nice experiment result. The centered composition would draw fire from the "rule of thirds" police in a challenge, but I like the way you have centered the subject. The border is nice too.

I find it interesting that the shape of the rock in the left foreground , and the water path combine to create an illusion that there is a shadow that does not fit right with the way the light is hitting the sculpture. I am neutral about the color addition. It would still be a nice shot without it, but it does add a dose of color to an otherwise unsaturated looking scene. I would try it in B&W, then add the color overlay or filter. The sky looks good in color.

I have looked at both the color and the toned version of this a couple of times each, and I like the color shot because I can see the statues much better in color. The sky colors blending into the Navy grey also adds atmosphere to the scene.

That is a fun looking shot. It's good that you had the very wide lens to put you close to the dog and make it the star of the shot. The B&W is working in this shot too.

What a nice main street. It certainly looks like a town that I would be comfortable to live near. The sky and the time of day to get the traffic light help make this shot.

That's funny! You are getting a lot of fun shots of this place for this challenge.

Nice photo of the old tower. They have a few of these around here too, but they belong to big land owners, and a few are still in use by the forestry service in this area. That must have been quite a task to run conduit up the leg. I think that I would have opted for running it up the stairway instead.

Good shot for a surprise shot of a flying bird. I hope that you get to see him again, and that you get a better opportunity to get a shot.
