We have a few judges in our photo club that repeat the mantra "back of a bird" when ever a bird in flight photo with compostion similar to this is shown. The back view is just not as interesting and has less impact to the viewer than the equivalent shot with the subject facing you.

That said you caught a unique moment in space flight history and that is pretty cool.

Odd that this scored so low. I liked the composition and the blue tone of the "blue moon".

Wow -- this ended up much lower than I would have thought (I gave it a 7). I found the repetition of the fans/wood and the extreme crop to make a very interesting and powerful image.

Photo is nice, but I had you pegged for one of your "old guys with beards in the stockyards" type images for this challenge :)

Wow -- that is some use of negative space. It works well but might be too mcuh. I think a square crop might work great here. It is not DPC legal but try using the clone tool to move the boat it to the lower right so it is driving into the frame rather than out of it.

I love this composition. Nice colors. Two thing to try if you did on this effort. 1, Focus on butterfly with the flower OOF or a higher DOF and get both in focus.

I really like the echo of the big and little stumps. Perhaps getting lower and/or closer with a wide angle lens could have empasized this even more. THe horizon may be a little tilted.

Great capture. May have a little two many levels of interest. I wonder if the top half would not be a more simple and interesting composition.

I like all the black and grey tonese here. Very odd compositional choice. His head is replacing hers and only two arms are visable for two people.

Great tones and nice leading lines. The odd border draws my eye away from the photo since it is the only dark area in the whole image. A simple thin square may have complimented the photo better.
