I like the composition here, and the mood even more.

Very strong composition. One of my favourites of the challenge.

At Peace With Curves

This has style. I like how the model's modesty is conveyed by her half hidden face and averted eye. I like the contrast between her milky skin, and her dark hair and painted fingernals. The tight crop works well to emphasize these elements.

I love your model's comfortable, matter-of-fact gaze into the lens. I like how her dark eyes, hair, and lips punctuate the otherwise soft light image. Very nicely done.

Cruisin' at the Cozy Diner

I'm just in shock that this did not do much better. I've looked over the top 10, and with no disrepect whatsoever to those photographers, I still believe this is THE image of this competition. It ain't a ribbon, but you've won my admiration and respect.

May be the only entry of this competition that I truly, deeply admire. A lot going on here creatively, for such a 'simple' shot. I love the interplay of colour & form.
Technical 3/3
Creative 3/3
Meets the challenge 3/3
Emotional 1/1 - evokes that 50's drive-in diner feeling - expecting a girl in bobby socks to rollerskate over and take my order any second
10 - well done, my only 10 of this challenge

Neon boat

Comment:
Technical 2.5/3 - nice colours and tonal range, but seems oversharpened with noticeable halos
Creative 2.5/3 - love the subject, restricted palette, and thoughtful composition; might like to see the subject a little lower in the frame
Meets competition 3/3 - after so many godforsaken bar signs, this is a breath of fresh air in more ways than one
Emotional 1/1 - I like the peaceful feeling it projects

One of my favourites of the competition 9/10

Separeted Worlds

Comment:
I like the dark mood, the bold colour, the the strong simple composition. It has a couple of very bothersome clangers for me though. It is oversharpened to the degree where the resulting halos are quite distracting. Also, it drives neurotic me crazy when there are spelling mistakes in the title. Good job overall: 6. Good luck.

Honestly, if I see one more store window neon sign anytime soon I'm going to hurl ... BUT, I will make a rare exception and acknowledge that I like this shot. I buy into its 'after hours' mood. The repetition in the image (while not entirely your creation - the designer of the display should get much of the credit) is attractive. Your choce of black and white adds very effective emphasis. Good sharpness and tonal range. Meets the challenge. 7

Ferris Wheel

Technical 3/3 - very well executed, great contrast, colour, feeling of speed conveyed by the blur
Artistic 2/3 - feel like I've seen it before, but I appreciate the thoughtful composition
Meets the competition - you bet, 3/3
Emotional - 0/1 - just a personal thing, ye old fairground-at-night shot just don't turn my crank, not your fault :)

8/10 - certainly among the cream of the crop
