You're not alone in doing this but I'll hand you the comment now, since it's a "shame on a really nice image". This is not centered. I'ts close to, but it's not. The house I'd say is the main object, and the door being the very centerpoint of the house. Moving it out of the center probably makes for a better image, but in this challenge I feel it's pushing the luck a bit.

Well, it is centered, but it gives me the feeling of "it's sunday and I'm out of ideas". I feel that the center object needs to hold more interest in itself to make this kind of composition work.

Treacherous Journey

Very good macro stuff. Is the sharpness perhaps a little too close to the front? Seems you've blurred the straw a from the left side and left a too sharp line a cm in front of little ol' bugger. Never mind that, I might be very wrong and it's nitpicking anyways - I like it a lot, hope it does well!

Love the dof and the sharpness in the water drop. Great colors everywhere. Not sure what to complain about here, so I won't.

Headache Ball

Comment:
Very centered, but a bit on the dull side with the sky being all gray. Did you try other angles too, to bring in more/other subjects but with the headache sitll in center?

Points up for original composition :-)

Just a few too many reflections in there...

Very nice and compelling image, but the birdie stuff on the rock is disturbing. Not your fault it's there but I think you could have cloned it away if you'd really wanted? Border works nicely on a centered subject I think.

Fierce Competition!

Nice thought and good for the subject, but I get the feeling the b/w hides a less than perfect shot? Would have wanted it in color I think. Also it's very centered and staged. I think you could have worked with the dof better and added depth, perhaps putting the cans in a diagonal? Shaprness on the front of the cans is very good, perhaps at the cost of too much contrast / exposure at the top. The shadows behind the cans work, although working in different directions, again adding to the "staged" feeling.

Next setup, try thinking a bit outside the frame. Not all of the subjects have to be all-in and in focus. Closest can could have been partial and out of focus, perhaps only the pepsi in focus towards the middle and then a faded out last can behind? Several pepsis out of focus with only one coke standing "focused and proud" in the middle or the other way around? Try different approaches and crops.

Some Things Are Just Black and White

Nice effort (I assume it involved quite some work). Would have wanted detail in the black chess pieces as in the white ones, but I can understand how that was really hard to accomplish. One of the best challenge interpretations so far. Nice with an image not involving fire and ice :-)
