Nice composition! Lovely colours of fireworks and their reflection in the water and then the yellow of that spotlit building.

Wow, that's funky, like something kind of sci-fi!

I really like the way the homes are an integral part of the image, with their lighted windows providing a nice balance to the bright fireworks above. Works well.

Banzai Pipeline circa 2008

Wow, this is wonderful! Great light on the wave, really bringing out the wonderful turquoise colours. Love the capture of the spray caught by the wind. And that yellow swathe of sand in the foreground contrasts nicely with the colours of the water and sky. Though I'd say the colours feel a touch too far saturated for my tastes. ANd of course, those almost silhouetted foreground observers add the perfect focal point, though they perhaps distract a little from the surfer in the sea.

Loneliness

The high contrast works very well, as does the way most of the image is so pale. I would like it even more were those dark fallen leaves in the foreground cloned out, though that may not be permitted in the ruleset, I don't know. And perhaps you prefer the image with the imperfections of nature left in? Still, I like this a lot.

What an interesting juxtaposition! The high contrast black and white is perfect for the image. This really works for me.

Dramatic. Like the high contrast. That lone bird is great.

A nice portrait. Is this in Wadi Rum? I am not sure I quite like the intense saturation of colours in sky and sand, they don't seem very realistic. But I do like the composition, the fire flames and the motion of that stick/ poker he's holding.

Wow, this works! I love the way it completely fills the frame and how much there is to look at!

Stunning portrait but the complexity of the shapes of the photographer's reflection in the child's eyes is distracting to me.
