This could be a great emotional-impact photo but it's so small it can't really appreciate it fully. Also, IMHO, lose the border.

Good subject and idea. Not such a great photo technically. Greater contrast would help. A bit of work with levels would, too. A bit closer or a different crop to get rid of the desk (?) at the bottom. Stronger focus.

Great comp, color, levels, saturation, focus and DOF ... not so sure about the title and implications.

What inthe heck is this? Doesn't feel like authority to me. Guess I don't get it. Sorry.

Rings of time

This is possibly the best subject I can think of for the challenge. I would love to see a macro shot of the rings, possibly where they break into cracks and fissures in the wood.

Passing Time

Good idea. I like very much that your reversed Time Passing and took a "passing time" approach. ++ for creativity. I am generally a fan of shallow DOF but in this case it is too shallow for my taste. Just me, so don't worry about it. I am also a fan of color ("If God had wanted us to shoot B&W, he wouldn't have invented Kodachrome.") It would be interesting to see this in color. Good job. Keep it up!

Architecture Past And Present

I like the Water Tower area of Chicago and this is among the best pictures I've seen of it. Great capture. I especially like the white areas to the right and at the top. They set off the subject well. The counter point of modern and old works well. Good job.

Tender Moments

A startling image. I like that his body is hidden in shadow and the toddler is completely visible. The shallow DOF field contributes to this. Good job. Hope it does well inthe voting. Is he wearing a clerical collar? That would add a whole 'nother dimension to this in light of current news!
