Out of Business

I think the composition could have been better here. For starters, having all that grass in the shot but leaving out just a part of the roof. Secondly, cutting off the sign like that is never a good idea, having it half in just draws the eye there. Thirdly this isn´t really shot at an interesting angle, just dead on. I would suggest you backing up or using a wider lens and try that next time.

Nice idea and pretty well executed. I still like fire shots way better when there is some texture to the flame, not blown out like in this photo but anyway, nice shot.

Nice job on the PP, looks like an image taken around the turn of the 19th century, I love the feel of this image. 8 from me.

Losing the Game

I think a facial expression would have worked better with this shot, there is no failure registered from his stance or the way he is holding his helmet. For all we know he could be smiling or putting on his helmet. If this were shot from the other way around however, him being angry or something and holding the helmet like that, THAT would have conveyed a sense of failure or dissapointment. 5 from me.

Nice choice of DOF, works well here in isolating the subject from an appropriate backround.

Nice shot, the amount of detail is awesome but I don´t really get how this relates to the theme, I gave you the benefit of the doubt though.

Pretty cool shot! The crystal really looks like it´s on fire, nice job on lighting it, for obvious reasons this isn´t very believable as magma as the dude in the photo would have melted if it were, would have been so though if he were wearing a superman costume :)

Anyway, really like the shot and I am surprised it didn´t score better, I honestly think this is underrated. The only thing I can think of that I dislike is that it´s a bit tightly composed for my taste, would have liked to see a slightly wider shot but not by much, just to give it some more breathing space towards the top and left side. Lighting is good, it´s an interesting picture, fits the challenge and I would have rated this a 7 or even an 8 depending how I would have rated this to the rest of the challenge (I was in this challenge too and normally don´t vote on challenges I am in, with a few exceptions ofcourse)

I see you pulled off a "Larus", a term I invented that means sucking with the entry immediately following a ribbon, congrats on that achievement :)

Well I guess this is a self portrait since the tripod is reflected, hehe :)
