Big Hand Little Hand

Cute idea, but the lighting is very flat and the colours are a bit muddy. Some more contrast would be nice, to bring out the textures in the hands and darken the background.

I like the lighting and framing of this photo. The "Body Parts" element is subtle, which is very refreshing :). Shallow DOF adds a nice smoky feel to this, like it's in a bar or something. Nice photo.

HMM... there isn\'t a lot going on in this photo. The textures are interesting, but the colours are flat and dull. With a bit more contrast, and some experiments with different exposures, I think you could have achieved something interesting, but this doesn\'t really get there.

Updated - I didn't see the frog until I looked at the thumbnail after I finished voting, and it suddenly appeared! I don't think it'll change my vote though, because the flaws I saw initially still stand.

I'm not quite sure how this meets the challenge. The hand of man is all over Santa Claus... especially the hand of the Coca-Cola company :P. The composition is really nice and you've pushed all the right buttons technically, so it's a good photo. Not very interesting to me though.

Sharp and bright, but it seems kind of flat. If you had a shallower depth of field and cropped more tightly, this would be a more interesting photo.

Seems a little overexposed, but that purple leaf is just amazing! This photo has a great alien quality to it. I love it.

Interesting... something I never see in my country. However, the colours are flat and dull... the composition is awkward. It seems underexposed.

Running Water

Probably the nicest running water photo in this challenge (although there may be more I haven't seen yet!). You hit exactly the right settings to get that water looking glassy and spectacular, with the rocks beautifully sharp and perfectly exposed. I think the border is a little bit too thick, but this is going to be a 10 from me.

Very cool. That's all I can say about this. I love what you did, and can't critique it in the slightest :). 10!

I can see reflections off glass in this. The colours are muted, and the composition is awkward. I would have liked to see more of the mountains down there. The clouds alone aren't spectacular enough for an interesting photo.
