Beautiful colors and variety - I really like the centered composition with the sign smack in the middle because it brings order to the chaotic colors and shapes. You get a 10 from me.

Determination

I like this shot, I think it's well composed, I like the off centered subject and the perspective of the line of the road going off into the distance. However, it's posed and feels forced in a way. I think it could have been more powerful if it felt more natural - a hitchhiker doesn't sit in the middle of the road, after all. Nicely executed. 6

Vanishing into Darkness

I think this was a highly original entry for this challenge.

I like the choice of a street with a slight uphill - it aids in the vanishing point view.

The shadows on the trees and firehydrant help to push they eye up the street to the vanishing point.

The point of view seems just slightly off to me for the overall composition - it might need to be cropped a little along the right edge to have it conform a little more to the rule of thirds.

I enjoy the choice of B&W and found the exposure wonderfully moody.

I love the colors in this shot. The greens are saturated and textured, and the yellows and blue of the butterfly came out very well.

What really helps your composition is the fact that the leaf tips point towards the butterfly in the top of the frame.

The lighter colors of the butterfly look a little overexposed, washing out the "dappled light" feel, but is rather appropriate for the challenge in this case.

I might like to see a closer crop on the butterfly.

You got some nice comments and I agree with the comment about the highlight on the bottom leaf.

Balls Go, Balls Slow Down, Balls Stop

I love the choice of using a traffic light as your source. Unfortunately the cripsness of the billiard balls is lost and the strange background of the blanket doesn't do much to help your overall composition. I would suggest having more negative space to the right and perhaps spacing the balls (maybe only one ball per color) further away from the source. Your color exposure is great, Like the rich, saturated quality of the light.

Candle in the dark

Though there is a quiet simplicityat work here, the composition is ultimately a little bland. I don't see any evidence of other light sources but I would like perhaps a little more context for the shot (some background or perhaps a more interesting angle with more detail on the surface of the wax).

I think the subject and the expression is worthy but the background and framing is distracting. A closer crop to eliminate whatever that is by the tree would be a great help but the green of the grass and the dappled light is actually quite nice. I'm not seeing evidence of other light sources - just the shadows from the sunlight.

Darkness cannot exist in the presence of Light

Wonderful lighting - the capture of the eye color is great. The use of the hat heightens the effect of multiple sources. I'm not fond of the pattern on the shirt as the white pops a little too much for me, but an extremely well executed shot.

Stunning composition - the simplicity of it is really wonderful and it is well executed. I wish (ever so slightly, you've done a marvelous job) that the shadows were a little more on one plane than angled up on the blue one.
