I don't understand the monkey thing here. Maybe a little too much white. Not very interesting. 4

TO ELOISE: you say, "It's not about the building with the scaffold, or the cars, or the guy waiting to cross. It's not about anything, and therefore there's no one thing the eye is drawn to." Actually, it is all about these things, because all these things make up New York. It took me ~3 hours to find a corner like this, with a steam, scafolding, American flag, and then another ~1 hour until the traffic was in position as you see it, a pedestrian wanting to cross the street...

Or you could call it "Traffic Darn Traffic" :-)

A fairly standard street shot but an insight nonetheless, with some nice foreground.

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.

It's not about the traffic light. It's not about the plume of steam (though that could have been a really cool shot). It's not about the building with the scaffold, or the cars, or the guy waiting to cross. It's not about anything, and therefore there's no one thing the eye is drawn to.

The drastic reduction in quality that this photo suffered looks like a classic resizing problem using nearest neighbor or some other similar size reduction algorithm. The good news that this is something that can be solved. If your graphics program has a "resample" mode when resizing then that should work better. If not then you could always try Paint Shop Pro (which is very good and shareware) or Photoshop Elements (which is even better IMO and veay cheap).
