Man, that's gonna suck, but it sure is good for clearing the sinuses. Great timing and great capture, but the tilt really bothers me. Its one of my biggest pet peeves.

Failure of Jumping

That is exactly how I spent the day I tried snowboarding. The next day, I was back on sticks. Nice shot, but the feet and the board really need to be included. It looks like a snapshot that accidentally chopped them off as it is.

HA! My wife is the same way! I like the idea, but the backlighting is a little too harsh. A darker curtain or temporary backdrop would have been an improvement.

Custer's Last Stand

This one fits nicely into the challenge, but it looks like its tilted to the right 5 or 6 degrees. With the harsh lighting, you also lost some of the detail in the dark face of the statue.

Have I Failed?

You were off to a very powerful photograph here. My only real issue is that he is too centered. Moving him to the left onto the thirds line would have made this one much better. I like the shallow depth of field that isolated him nicely from the busy, successful background. Great sense of failure, but I'd like to see the composition out of center.

Nice idea and good composition. I also like the depth of field that you produced.

Our Failure To Mother Earth

Powerful statement, but the background is a bit too hazy. Also, the sun's reflection is bordering on overexposure. I think that more emphasis on the factory in the distance would have been better.

Just a bit too dark and noisy. A little neat image would have improved upon this image. Nice idea and well composed.

Interrupted Cleavage

Great composition and near-flawless lighting. I do find the bright light at the bottom left of the squash-thingy a little distracting. This one fits into the challenge nicely. Nice image overall.

Failure in a Gril

Very nice selecting desaturation, but I really don't get a sense of failure. She looks like a beautiful girl with an entire future ahead. This one would have worked better with some tattered clothes and a dirty alley. It is a great image that is very, very well composed. It just doesn't hit me as a failure. It's more of a passing sadness. Still, a top quality image.
