Club,
What I first noticed about this picture was the lovely contrast between the yellow building and the blue frame of the door. That is a great color contrast, and a real attention grabber. I also like how the "verticleness" of the tree and the "verticalness" of the door lead the eyes up through the frame. The vertical shape is also contrasted nicely by the diagonal "motion" of the shadows. I like how neither the door or the tree is in the center, but each is working together in the photograph.

Though the details in the sidewalk, and other shaded areas are good, it seems a bit blown out on the right, especially the trunk of the tree. The positive of this is that it gives it a "strong" look, but the negative is that it can be distracting and even painful if you look at it too long. :-)

As far as meeting the challenge, it has a tree and some shrubbery, so it does meet the challenge as far as I am concerned, even if the tree doesn't seem to be the main focus.

One of the quirkier forms of transportation this week...!

This shot has been set up well but it's a pity you caught the glare of the flash/lighting on the frame of the unicycle. One of the more interesting opfferings this week.

LOVE the moody lighting on the chrome, and that gleam below the logo. the black bg is very well done. the shot is a hair soft, not sure where you locked focus. might want to have bright lights on to focus (then switch off AF) and then turn off for shooting. could use a little more light on the seat perhaps, but that's a nitpick. A very unique and pleasing interpretation.

I think this is a very good composition. At first glance some may think that the reflection off the main shaft is an error, but I feel that it adds to the shot by showing us that this ain't no poor mans uni, it's a high end well cared for piece.

I like the seat moving off to the right, and the black background helps focus the attention to the uni. You have a smaller space on the left of the wheel as opposed to the right side, not enough to make my scoring different, but som LMV's may nit over it.

Overall, a very pleasing shot and well done! 8 -danny

NIce emotion, and good capture. Not sure what camera you're using but it seems out of focus... (My guess is that this is behind glass and it's not really you're fault.) Interesting subject. Good job.
