Very nice image, I love the sky and water's reflection. The trees on the left and right make a nice path to lead your eyes from the front of the image to the back. Nice suttle framing too.

Good luck

First thought was..Hey their dead! lol I know they are just lying dow but is weird how one is standing and one is lying in each group. I like the variety of their positions in the image. Colors seem a tad bit dull but not too bad.

Good luck

Not sure if quite fits the challenge as it seems to be pretty centered, although his eyes are in the upper third of the image. Nice job and getting white and black without blowing out the detail. Didn't realize they have such weird eyes.

Good luck

Interesting. The man and the computer seems a little burry but not to an overly annoying amount. I like the duotone colors and the bright white sections.

Good luck

oh man, a potentially good image hurt by a couple easy to fix things...First, it is hard to find a clean, sharp subject. The thing in the foreground (pier?) was my first thought since the boat is really blurred but it too lacks the sharpness and detail it could have. Maybe a different depth of field would have helped or something as simple as a tripod if you didn't use one.
Second, your colors are rather dull. If you can't adjust this in your camera there are ways to fix this with software, specifically I would adjust the contrast up a bit. A little less exposure (underexpose it) may have also helped this some too.
Lastly, it appears you may have had some issues with compressing it to fit the 150kb limit and ended up compressing it too much. In the left hand part of the sky you can really see some jpg compression artifacts, your image seems to be 17kb so you had a lot of room to play with. Always compress a little at a time. There have been many threads lately about how to compress images, check the forums or pm me if you need more help.

Good luck

very vibrant colors, love the bright red with the blue water. That long thin cloud above the house is distracting but not like you really had a choice with it. Position is right on.

Good luck

I'm going to have to assume that since the horses are mainly in the horizontal center of the image that you were probably going with the house being the subject(?) If not I think more focus should be placed on the horses and their positioning better.

Good luck

I like the variety of color and your depth of field at first seems good but the main subject seems a little too soft. Maybe your depth of field was a little much since the orange cup seems sharp but the brush handle isn't. Good positioning and nice suttle frame.

Good luck

A unique array of lines and shapes but feels like it is missing something that makes it stand out. Colors in the sky seem dull.
Good luck

Another very unique and pleasant image. It is so simple yet it screams for attention. I kind of wish the red lifesaver wasn't on the boat, it would help bring more attention to the red float in the water. I really like the still water with the breeze creeping up behind the boat and the slight reflection

Good luck
