Mr. Trooper, the substitute teacher, always freaked me out.

Cute, but weird...not incredibly appealing and doesn't capture my gaze for too long. Nice colours, though...

The Mind of A Child

Spooky-like...but not quite enough. I can't tell if you're going for warm and comfortable or spooky and cold...One way or the other would be great, but the amibiguity makes this photo less enjoyable. I think another edit of this would make for a great photo, though!

For the Teacher

This is okay, and I like the faded effect. It seems the red apple should have been either more or less colourful. It doesn't look quite colourful enough to be the main focus of my attention, but not quite faded enough to blend in with the rest of the photo. The same applies to the tips of the four pens/markers...my vote would be to make the colours more vibrant.

The background is very distracting here (is that a garbage can?)...

What was the purpose behind the choice of depth of field here? I think a greater depth would have been nicer...or the same depth but have the focus on "The Twenty Maxims" instead. A better choice in this area would have resulted in a 6...as is, I'll have to give it a 4...

college or 50 first class international tickets?

This photo just looks cluttered and it looks more documentary than anything else. Yes, those are passports and money...but why am I looking at this photograph?

If only it worked this way...

This photo doesn't appeal to me a whole lot and doesn't really set any sort of a mood for me, which I think could be accomplished with better lighting and angle perhaps...

The photo on it's own is not too bad (though not great), but it doesn't make me think of school...

I think the photo itself could have been improved with a nicer sky (waiting for better light), offsetting the path and getting closer to the ground to take the photo...

To me, this isn't very interesting to look at...what is this photo saying? What was the reason for taking it? What's with that background? These are all things that need to be addressed.

Burning the midnight oil

Cute, but not something that captures my attention for more than a few seconds...I think zooming in and eliminating a lot of the peripheral elements of this photo would have helped the cause...
