Please don't take this the wrong way, but she looks like she has one big eyebrow that goes from one pupil to the other. Its too soft, plus the hair is in focus.

I think the crop is too tight on this and/or the picture was taken from too close. Losing focus at the bottom right part of the pic.

Nice cityscape photo. Great DOF on this shot. Could've used a bit more exposure I think, or a little more sun. I like the stuff right down on the water, but it could use a little more detail. Overall a pretty nice pic though.

Cool photo. I'm sort of on the fence here whether or not this photo is a little underexposed or not, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. The reds are good but the blackberries and blueberries are a pinch dark. Overall it's pretty darn good though. Nice shot!

Composition - Meets the challenge. I think you chose a difficult subject with this vase due to the lines in it. I think that the distortion of some of the lines throws things a little out of whack. If it were a little more uniform distortion (write that one down) then I think it would've been more accepted by the voters (myself included). The concept is one I've seen many times, but I think you are the first one to do a patterned vase. Most of them I've seen are done with champagne glasses or something with minimal curves. Another flaw I see with this is the highlights on your dropcloth. I think the backdrop should've run on one level across the bottom. The flash of light on the left side could've been eliminated too.

Technical - The exposure looks excellent. Good colors and a nice sharp pic. Very nicely done.

Overall - A solid shot with a couple minor things that could be fixed to make it a real contender. I think you've gotten the concept right and just need a little refining on the setup end with the light and the drop cloth to take this to the next level. A well taken photo no doubt, but I am pretty sure that losing the light and fixing the background would've done a world of good. Nice pic and good luck in the future - Bob

Composition - Wow!! That's a great sky color. I'm a little in the dark about what it is exactly, but the color representation is absolutely astonishing. I wish the flag was there in its entirety. Aside from that, I'm a little hesitant to give much for advice since I'm not really sure what it is. Maybe that should be the advice... The photo is clear enough, but the angle doesn't reveal what we need it to reveal for the viewers to know what it is. Or maybe I'm dumb.

Photography - Wow, this is well taken. The photo is sharp and crisp and the colors are brilliant. Well done

Processing - If you did manipulate the colors a little, bravo, you did a great job.

Overall - Holy Acrophobia Batman!! Well taken, but I'm curious to know what it is. I'm guessing a control deck for a crane or some other heavy machinery. It is however interesting, but not much for inspiring I don't think. Keep taking photos like this, and you will find yourself in the ribbons if you can find the right subject. Good photo - Bob

Composition - Really a quite beautiful shot. Great colors. Probably would've been slightly more successful if you took it a few minutes earlier. I think that people were a little too hard on the yellow part of this challenge and looked at that more than they did the quality of the photos. If it's sort of yellow, that's good enough for me. I think that a tighter cropped would've really worked for you to concentrate a lot more on the mountain in what is the center here. I'd have cut out quite a bit of the bottom, a little of the top and about 15% of the left side to really bring the mountain part and the color to the forefront. The dark clouds on the left side LOOK blurry, but how could they be? But they aren't contributing positively to this picture. That's about all I'd suggest in terms of composition.

Photography - It must've been actually pretty light out when you took this judging by the fast shutter speed and high F number. The 200 ISO is a little peculiar too. I'd think you'd get better color representation at 100 or less. Who am I to say though? It turned out well.

Processing - I think cropping it tighter would've made a big difference. If the people want yellow, give them yellow!! Seriously, I would've "juiced" the yellow hues a bit to make them a bit brighter, but no serious changes. Its very good.

Overall - This is a very underrated photo. I can see the viewers need for lemon yellow to a point, but this qualifies in my book. I think this is a very good photo that needs a little adjustment to make it more challenge worthy, but as just a photo, NEEDS little adjustment to make it as good as it could be. Nice shot Jeremy!! - Bob

Almost really good. Photo quality is really really good. The only thing I have to say about this is, and don't take this the wrong way, straighter teeth would've made this image a 9 or 10.

Waves in Flag

Tremendous colors. I wish the stars were on this side so they'd be white. THe waves in the flag are great though. I like the little bit of background showing. Gives a little perspective so to speak. Great job
