Wow you picked a difficult set up... those rain drops on your lens are going to kill your score sadly. Maybe an umbrella could have helped?

Tranquility in Contrast

I'm in two minds about that rock / tree on the far left... Yes it gives the jetty some grounding but it also keeps pulling my eye away from the rest of the image. Would have like the jetty a bit sharper as well. I like the minimalism about it and overall I say nice shot!

Sadly this will end up with a DQ - read the rules... no watermarks allowed. Other than that:
Nice composition and lovely star bursts in the lights.

Wonderfully artistic shot. Pity her right arm (our left) is also moving a bit - but I hope this does well. I'm sure it wasnt easy to keep everything but the head still.

Creepy! Intersting choice to make the "visitor" in color and the "normal person" in B&W. I probably would have done it the other way around.
If the "normal life" was more in focus / sharper / without that little bit of blur then it would have done much better.

Electric Shock... Ouch!

Comment:
Might have been taken more seriously if the sparks were better placed... like travelling up the arm and not just randomly moved around the picture. Just a thought.

Calm the Sea, Move the Clouds

Haven't seen all the shots yet but this is my pic for the front page so far. Composition is more in quarters than thirds (on the vertical) and the tree is a little central. Not sure what other composition options you had though...
Lovely shot and great work both in technique and PP

Nice effect and I am sure you had fun doing this one. The light trails on the sand / floor are a nice touch. Perhaps a bit of detail in the background to give this shot some context and a better composition (looks too central) would help. Would probably also have looked a bit better using the full 800 pix allowed.

Lights Are On But Nobody's Home

Clearly two of you went shooting together - which is perfectly fine. I do however prefer the other shot. Something in your technique has let you down and the result is a very noisy image - probably not to most people's liking but perhaps you wanted it to look that way?? Either this was shot with an ISO set way to high or you brightened it a lot in PP.
The light inside the house / windows is a bit bright and overpowers the shot a bit. The sky is very noisy and doesn̢۪t seem to be focused very well.
A great concept but lacking a little in execution.

Life Is But A Dream

Clearly two of you went shooting together - which is perfectly fine. I prefer this one even though your building looks a bit wonky. Your technique is good and has resulted in a pretty noise free shot. I also love the way the clouds movement is perendicular to the movement of the stars. Woul dhave been nice to see perhaps just a bit more light inside the house / windows though. Overall good job!
