The sky was pretty bright, and reflects that way in the water. That coupled with the shadowed cluster of buildings kind of gives an unbalanced feel.

This is kind of a different shot. Interesting composition, and unique treatment.

I'm not really sure what you were going for here. Maybe if I spent any time around boats/ships, It'd mean more to me. I don't really care for the blue tint, but that's just me. Sorry, don't mean to sound so negative.

Cribbage

I agree with alfresco, a point of reference would be one thing to help establish your intent. I don't know the first thing about cribbage, so wouldn't understand that the one you focused on is in the lead. Also, the glare on the right is taking some attention away from the subject. A personal opinion...I often don't care for the closest item in a series being out of focus, and in this case, it's the most prominent piece taking up quite a bit of the frame. Not to be harsh, just trying to help relay what I see in this shot. Hope it helps.

disregarding the challenge theme, I think this could use a little more contrast and separation between the headstones and the grass/weeds. A different B/W conversion method may yield that. Also, a lower point of view may be a more interesting perspective. As it is, it's a decent shot (background sky is a little distracting), and the placement in the challenge is about what I would have guessed. BTW, thanks for commenting on one of my shots.

I really like this 'nice but subject-less photo'. I think the blur is what makes the shot. Although, a couple of ducks or crane standing in teh water may help, I think it's great as-is. Very nice!

Nice tones. Something to anchor this shot would make it much stronger, IMO.

The sky is exposed nicely, but the coaster and people are a bit dark. You may be able to help this a lot with a selection and some levels/curves adjustments. Getting this just a little sooner so the cars are on the other side of the loop, would be cool as well.

I like the colors in this, and looks like a nice skyline shot. I would maybe crop a bit off the left, some of the bottom, and quite a bit of the trees on the right to bring more attention to the skyline.
