The line of the shadows is perfect to emphasize the colors of the left part of the street and keep the eyes moving smoothly through the pictures. Great job capturing the uniformity of the suburbs while keeping it interesting!

I think you should have scored better than you did because this is an excellent image but I feel, in the end, the soft focus let you down. Your model is beautiful and her face more in focus, especially her eyes, would have given the image a more dramatic look.

The pose looks a little unnatural but I quite like the shot, the crop is a bit tight on the left for my liking.

Nice image - Like the lighting and colours of this. Composition is a little boring and I think cropping off the grass from the right tightens the overall feel of this and concentrates our eyes to the homes rather than to the bottom of the frame which is light and competing for our attention and dragging our eye down and out of the frame.

This stands out in all of the entries. Wonderful image as it depicts the cookie-cutter type of houses in the suburbs!

I think this should have scored much better than it did. It has beautiful lines and flow, Great composition and balance. Maybe a little too much softening but that's a minor issue. I liked it!

Good take on the challenge. Like the darkness over the light facades.

A little too softly focused for my taste.
