I remember this one from the challenge. To me it's a bit overbright or oversharp or maybe both. It does look a bit like they (I trust it's a bird house) have fallen behind on the upkeep, doesn't it? Hopefully they'll be back next spring.

Composition for this one is good - I like the snail's position in the frame and the leading line of the blade its on. The blades that cross behind it add another element which balances the picture well. You could cut just a bit off the top if you want, but I like the overall vertical presentation. I do think it's a touch overexposed, as you've lost some detail on the snail's shell. Isn't fun to find stuff like this while wandering a bit off the beaten path?

I like this! You've kept all the building lines straight and the sky is the perfect shade of blue. I like the combination of lines and curves, too. Very well seen!

This has an almost impressionistic feel to it. I also like how you cropped this, which enhances the the different elements present. What I might suggest is boosting the contrast just a bit. A slight s-curve in photoshop should do the trick.

This would so suit an "Impressionism" challenge, but it also suits "Motion Blur" as well.....

Seems a bit harshly lit, probably due to time of day the shot was taken.

some distracting glares in the bg you might want to tone down

Good idea but try lowering the camera so you are looking up a bit more to rid the background of the horizontal subject.
