You're supposed to show the body part in the image, not hide them with arms! LOL

Not getting any link whatsoever to the challenge from this shot.

Old railroad bridge

Either this is a photo through a very dirty window or it's a photo of a photo. There are loads of black specks all over the image. It looks like the photo is focussed on the window rather than the bridge.

I would have given it an extra point if the horizon had been level. Looks a bit tipsy.

I'm glad you resisted the urge to call this one "Pearl Necklace"! Really nice shot btw. A perfect example of how fill flash should be used.

I think a much tighter crop would work better with this one. The clusters of leaves in all 4 corners of the image are distracting. A tighter crop would help lose a lot of that dead and distracting space and help the viewer focus in on the bird a bit more.

This one doesn't really work for me. Feels like there is only the one light source and no fill flash. I may be mistaken of course especially if this was very subtly done. Nonetheless, the balance of the shot doesn't feel right compositionally to me. Maybe if the converging lines met at an intersection of thirds rather than centrally the balance would feel better.

Wonderfully dark and different. I predict a strong top 10 finish. Beautiful balance to the lighting. Well done.

My own challenge!

Amusing, but this shot would have been so much better if all that stuff in the background was out of shot - maybe holding a piece of card or something behind the woody to isolate him. As it stands, it just seems a very cluttered shot.

This one doesn't do anything for me I'm afraid. I don't mind abstract shots per se but I find this overly messy and distracting.
