home is where the Heart is

5. Fits the theme well enough, and there are no blatant 'you suck!' flaws to it, but neither does it really grab me for any reason at all. For reasons of composition, cropping, or subject choice, it's just a photo, and doesn't do especially much for me, aesthetically.

The eye is, oddly, drawn to the hand. The lack of any logical central point of attention in the shot contributes to it looking snapshottish.

you captured a beautiful moment. The orange lights just above the crowd are distracting, but it's understandable considering the nature of the shot. Good job.

photo has major snapshot quality. I fail to see your composition. This has nothing to do with home, either. Better luck next week.

Interesting image, howeve it doesn't look like water, but plastic. I think the idea is very good, and b & w was a good choice. I bet plastic wrap could be used to look like water....hmmmmm you've inspired me! Thanks....that makes this a successful image in my mind! :-)

Lot's of post processing here but it worked! You brought a lot of impact into this image and the change over from bright to dark is great. Maybe just a little too blown out on the right side though. Good luck.....

this looksdesperate. I'm not sure what else you could do to clean this up some to communicate it better.
