Well, lemme just start by saying that I guess yer wondering "WHY ME!"... lol.. this would have been a very nice photo for the next challenge... But I guess you have already heard that and will continue to hear it throughout this challenge :) I'm giving this photo a 10 purely on its creativity. This image creates a tough lighting situation, but you seem to have managed that fairly well. The lighting coming in from the right side is a little harsh and the shadow on the left side looks a little strange... Your depth of field is excellent, as is the overall composition... At least you don't have to go shopping before you do the next challenge :) Great shot.. I hope I see this one as a high scoring finisher this week :) - jmsetzler

This is a good photograph, but it's just not inspiring to me. This photo may have more impact if there was a dark or solid background behind it :) - jmsetzler

I'm stretching to see the 'new' in this photo, but the title shows me the intention of the image... the image doesn't do it on it's own :) - jmsetzler

great shot :) I love the fine detail on this one... the only minor distraction that I catch here is the pole/wire in the background behind the main subject... = 9 - jmsetzler

Canary Wharf Underground Station, Opened 1999

Greetings :) This is a lovely architectural photo. It simply does not relay a sense of 'new' to me. I would have to live in this community to know that this is new and understand the ramifications of that. In my own mind, this image resembles many other train stations that I have seen in the past :) - jmsetzler

nice collection of bears :) I think that leveling out the base shelf would be a minor improvement on this one... the pink bear in the middle works very well here :) - jmsetzler

I can see the 'new' in this photo, but the overall image lacks punch... - jmsetzler

excellent image... the lighting here works very well.. I also think that this is perfect use of DOF. The brushed metal detail is showing through nicely... looks like a great advertisement photo :) - jmsetzler
