I think this is the best photo out of all the entries. It captures the moment very well and the surroundings give you all the information you need to determine what they are there for. Well captured.

Composition is ok but the buildings overpower the main subject in this photo. I'm more focused on the detail of the buildings. Exposure is not bad you didn't blow out the sky and there's some detail in the helicopter and the load it's carrying. Also, when you resized this photo you must have overcompressed or oversharpened this photo because there are jaggies in the chopper blades.

Wow is this pixelated or what! Did you try blowing this up to fill the frame or is this the digital zoom on the camera? Also, flowers are kind of overdone so this does not inspire me to give you a high score.

The photo does not tell me very much on it's own and the title is a poor attempt at saving the photo. Also, just about every area is overexposed leaving nothing but a big brown blob of a cow in the photo. This could definitely be improved using better composition and exposure.

I fail to see how this meets the challenge. I don't think I would ever see something like that in a newspaper or magazine or any kind of publication. The orange section shows a lot of pixelation and there are a number of overexposed spots as well as very narrow depth of field resulting in mostly blurred foreground.

Plane Lands on Theater -- Snoopy Spotted

First thing that jumps out at me is the green color of the photo. Is your white balance off or is this the normal way your camera takes photos. Then that looks like an ordinary image with poor composition. There are traffic lights, top of the bus and a lamp post that all take away from the photo. Too much emphasis on the title to save the image.

When I look at this photo, the first thing that hits me is a similar photo of a guy crouched on the soil like the one in the photo with something in their hands and a nice caption similar to your title. The photo is well executed and meets the challenge but that first thing I wrote would be my suggestion for improvement.

Interesting photo. I think this definitely fits the challenge very well. I see a few problems like the exposure of the top left corner is much darker than lower right corner. There's also a strong diagonal line cutting the photo in half which takes a bit away from the photo. I think a flash was used which is why the photo came out like that. I longer exposure and a tripod would have been a good thing to use.

I love this shot, must be twins since the shadows give away that there are two separate persons. This deserves to win.

I love this shot. Very well executed and the birdie is cute. I have a parakeet who does nothing but stare in his little mirror all day and spit at it. Very detailed.
