Sacrifice

The monochrome, combined with excellent highlights and contrast makes this an exceptional shot. For example, the white highlight on the near edge of the hammer saves that part of the shot from being too dark. The dirty hands on the hammer and nail vs. the clean hand. Even the wood of the cross looks metallic in this lighting.

Nice shot, but not enough lighting on the subject.

Shot is not in focus. Maybe this was intentional.

If this was meant to communicate defiance and not repentance, it succeeds.

Running Religiously

I think a tighter crop would have put more focus on the runner.

This photo is very grainy and looks over-processed.

Um. Not sure how this relates to religion. There isn't anything recognizable to me in the photo, combined with lots of dark and shadow.

Shaped to serve and to last

Detail on the near end is fantastic - but front of bench detail is washed out - a higher shutter speed with fill flash may have given a better result. I'm not positive whether it is just because the far bench is washed out, but I think the shot would be stronger without anything past its near leg.

The Downward Spiral

Excellent shot - thank you for keeping the entire spiral and ant in focus!

Great idea - execution is lacking. Shot is too dark, vehicle windows are too much of the shot with no purpose (I think you were trying to catch reflections of the sky, but the bottom 3/4 of the windows are too dark to carry that off. The angle of the shot puts the tree with space on both the left and right - may have been better to have the tree in the upper left of the shot.
