Catch Me If You Can!!

There was not much about this image that worked for me. The lead runner is out of focus, but the runners behind are also out not clearly in focus. As an image, it's a shot of runners, but it doesn't take me into the action or do more for me than show me they were there.

What Once Was

This is an interesting image, but the fire doesn't really look like fire; up to the buildings it's a really good shot, in my opinion, but the flames just don't hold up for me.

This image didn't really do much for me; there are brightness/contrast issues, and it's not clear what's being said with it.

Gate Keeper
by anthonyczaja

Comment:
This image simply too bright for me; the back of the model's head cuts out because of the brightness, as does much of the gate (as you move up). The model's stance and facial expression don't convey "gate keeper" to me, either.

Entring by windows
by tiby_dicu

Comment:
I'll buy these windows as an entrance, but the image seemed very busy to me, with some difficult focusing issues (the stones between the windows don't seem to be in focus, and that throws me off as crossing the center is necessary to consider both windows). All the textures, without much that seemingly ties them together (other than that they're part of the same building) increased the busy feel for me (and made it a bit much for me).

The Big House

Comment:
For me, this image isn't visually interesting, and has some distractions (such as the water on the floor) that detract from it a bit.

Entrance to Redemption
by RogerG

Comment:
I liked this shot in concept, and it has a generally good appearance, but the contrast seems off to me, significantly so in relation to the sky, and thus to anything (eg, the palms) that touch it. I also wish the top of the building had been level (difficult to do unless you shoot it straight on).

The Bank
by GeneralE

Comment:
This clearly fits the challenge, but it doesn't do much for me. The reflections in the glass (the actual entrance) are extremely distracting for me, as is the focus (which seems off when it comes to the doors. I generally do not like the lighting, which is a bit drab toward inside the pillars. Taking this shot at a different time of the day might have helped, though I'm not sure how to overcome the reflections in the glass.

Porthole to the Mind

Comment:
This image just didn't work for me; if the eye is the portal, I didn't see enough of the eye itself, though the selective desaturation is interesting, the image has too much under the eye and of the nose to really work for me, and the brightness under the eye was distracting for me.

Enter Tourism

The idea here is good, but the buildings in the back are too overexposed to be useful to the composition, and the clouds are too blue to make much difference either. Watching the white balance and perhaps going a bit darker might have helped here (though then the whole may have been too dark).
