Great colors and an engaging composition. That line of bikes to the right, and above the bright red letters, all against a sky blue building. Nice that the sunlight is just catching the front ends of the bikes. Simple, good. 8

Very enjoyable, well done. The whimsicle font plays well on the fairy tale. I like the colro and pose of the frogs. Their spots do seem over-sharpened tho - some artifacts and funny dark lines. still I really like this! 9

Rise

Comment:
This is my favorite. The color of the background and the jumble of letters cannot overwhelm or distract from this dapper young man in black and white and a serious face and cool skate board. But the Grafiti works with him - we hope he will rise to challenges that come his way. Very candid, but well thought out, engaging, inspiring. 10

Mae West Said it Best

Nicely done, good choice of B&W. The sparkles of the dress and the smoothness of the breasts contassta well. Wish the pages weren't so white/ didn;t fill so much of the image. Still, I think this should do well. Fits the challenge nicely.

Shadows of Love

Unique idea. I like the look of the words illuminating the rose. It might have been bolder on a dark background, and could be a bit sharper, but nice idea, well done. 7

Tongue Twister

Charming child - no really! And I like the concept of this photo and how her face fills the frame. However (I imagine yo've heard this already) there is no word! If only you could tuck some big words under her tongue it word have worked!

Joy in Orange

My husband also equates the words JOY and BIKE. Nice idea. I like the bold orange against the white background. I like the narrow DOF.

A colorful closeup. These objects work well with the words. Wish the glass and lime were in focus.

No Valet Parking

The pairing of the sign and planes is humorous, but the background is too busy and distracts from the subject.

Torn, A Part

Looks like an intriguing subject, but the artifacts from sharpening are too distracting (the heavy lines and halos around the letters)
