Launching place of the raid on St. Nazaire. 28th March 1942

Good, original idea. The color brings you to what is "important". The focal point (the color) seems just a little too far down and to the left within the composition. It would have been very nice to have had a little more tonal range in the B & W, but have no idea if this is even possible or perhaps you wanted to keep a more "overcast" look for your subject matter. Focus is not very crisp, which will probably affect the scores you see overal.

I lke this rustic take on the challenge. Very good composition and that you thought of how to use this shot. I could use a tad more brightness/saturation/boldness of the colors. I doubt there is a way to do this with the shot you could get, but it would be nice if there were a bit more light tones to bring out a crisper contrast.

Yellow Day Lily

I like the colors and the background interplay. The flower looks somewhat detached and floating, however. The background doesn't appear de-saturated, but more like a digital art type thing -- but of course, I don't know what I am actually seeing -- just how it "looks". The pistals in the flower show sharp outlines, as does parts of the flower, making it appear a little harsh. The shape of the flower itself and the placement aren't "great", but just an opinion. I like the hints of tangerine very much.

Not in Kansas Anymore

I like the set-up and flavor of this a lot. The things I might like to see done differently (which may or may not work) is the cropping seems extreme on the vertical to horizontal relation; the shoes look "stretched" - maybe not such a high platform, and perhaps cropping the top right at the shoulders. Very nit-pic comment: On my monitor, the color appears neon orange-red; I think I would prefer a deep, saturated red. Just an opinion based on how I am seeing it on my display.

Don't it make your brown eyes blue

Good perspective and unusual location. I think the blue may look at bit too "electric" and almost glowing. The car appears to be disjointed from the rest of the picture, perhaps due to this striking contrast. Completely personal and not part of my score -- I don't find "new" cars very interesting, but enjoy pictures of classics and customs more for photography.
