Soaring in the heavens

For me this could have been improved by cropping the bottom. Just my opinion and obviously you have intentionally chosen to leave it in (photography is so subjective...), but otherwise I love the tones in the upper portion of the frame.

Glassford Hill

There was another similar entry to this and I will say the same thing: I think the image could have been enhanced with a subject on the hill such as a person, horse, building etc. I do like the cloud formations and the colour in the sky.

Thicker than Water

Nice idea. The blown out highlights concern me. I would have preferred to see the blood droplet completely framed - perhaps it was intentional to crop off the left wire - just a personal preference. Overall an solid entry for this challange in my view.

Brief encounter

I like this a lot. Perhaps would have considered cropping more off the top, but then you would have lost some of the sense of hight which is an appealing factor. Well done - one of the better entries I have come across so far.

IMO a subject such as a horse in the bottom right would have turned a good image into a great one.

Out of Wall St.

I like the lighting and the wind on the sand. The only suggestion I would make would be to crop out the top of the frame as the highlights and the blue sky detracts from an otherwise dark and ominous feel. Overall a very solid entry and deservard of a good placing.

The Climber

Good shot. IMO it would have served you even better to wait until he was higher than the tree line - the tree tops create a reference point that detracts from the sense of scale. On the plus side I like that there is no reference point at the top. I would suggest cropping out the highlights on the left too. Overall I like this idea...
