Well composed, and good use of interesting objects in the foreground. Your images satisfies the challenge requirement, and still incorporates some greater significance. Great work!

The ashtray w/ spoon is interesting, but I'm distracted by all the other random elements in the picture.

Very nice. This would have been very strong in the silhouette challenge. <7> Pushin' this one up a notch <8> Bumping this one up one last notch. I really enjoy looking at this image, and it deserves the extra credit. Very nice job! <9>

The sharpening halo around this image is quite strong - a smaller radius of USM would work wonders, I should think; though of course it might just be a camera setting. It's a reasonably interesting silhouette - and certainly catches the right moment compositionally. I think I'd have preferred a perfect silhouette, rather than the very dark sense of the guy's face and clothes there is here.

The house/shed/garage/wahtever it is in the bottom right hand corner is distracting.

A striking pose/composition. The overexposure on the sky is a tad much, I feel, and the shoe laces are getting my eyes. I particularly like the hands, both the one that appears joined with the ball and the spread fingers on the other. Quite expressive. There's a tuft of leaves right on top of the shed/building roof on the right side that's also catching a little. But nice all the same.
