This is a specimen example for a still life shot! You nailed it! If I could vote it would be a ten! This is definitely my choice for blue... Awesome.

Nice and oily!! The portrait orientation makes me feel this image is constrained. Great texture and tones to show the filth!

This is so relateable! You got the line of traffic, blinding sun, the construction zone, the added compositional dynamic of liquid... all that's missing is the coffee in hand! But hey, you were taking a picture... so +1 for having a distracted driver in the scene!!

Nicely done however the selection work needs a little bit of help on the background around the bird.

[Update] I am now seeing this on another computer and the selection area that I referred to above is not showing up. There was a distinct area of grey in the triangle where the legs meets the body. Also in the area of the head... interesting. Will revisit to double check.

I'm voting with my daughter on this challenge. She is 6. She wanted to comment on this one... She said "It looks very pretty and colorful! I think it needs to have the string shown leading down." She voted a 9!

Great subject. I think the person needs a touch more light on them to separate them from the dark background. Possibly some back lighting and a little more from the side.

The eyes are on the thirds I know, however this technique better represents a "fill the frame" composition.
