Orb Out Of Water

Fishing bobber? I like the post processing. I think this could really stand out if the bobber had a bright red stripe on it as most I've seen do (of course then you probably wouldn't be keeping true to the scene), but the bright color against the dark and weathered background would add to the story here imho.

Gecko in Palm

I think this would benefit from some more contrast. Since changing the background probably isn't possible, I'd burn it in a little or change the saturation - just something to put more emphasis on the gecko as the subject. Here the area with the most contrast is the line between the shade and the light, which draws my attention more than the gecko.

Great shot, wouldn't change a thing

Nice work, one of my favorites for this challenge. Your shot captures the age and wear of the train car very well and retains a natural look and appeal. The contrast of youth with age is well presented. Well seen and captured.

Is this in Philly? Not being familiar with driving through Philadelphia, I found one of these following me and was a bit surprised to see them still in service. The angle and sharp focus throughout the image don't really add much interest to the shot imho - in other words, a different take on the trolley (maybe from an angle someone wouldn't typically see it from) might work well. Its a good subject, I just think a less common presentation might better suit it.

A Strong Signal

Great angle! Very creative abstract. The duotone is nice here as well. Maybe a little too much border, but not a major concern.

Baggage - 21

Pennsylvania RR museum? I think a larger aperture might work here to blur some of the less important background elements - there isn't really a strong central spot in the image that I can rest on. Also, the image looks a little too smooth to me (as if too much neat image was applied). This is a shot with potential but I think it could be done better to make it more appealing photographically imho.

Looks like a tough exposure - underexposure to control the highlights and then some playing around with levels to restore contrast might help the colors/lighting. Otherwise pretty good.

Wow. That's not pretty. I hope those were empties, I know they can ferry some nasty stuff in tank cars (at least where I work). Subject-wise, a great capture - looks like you even beat the emergency crews to the job. Great journalism albeit potentially dangerous (see nasty stuff comment). Photographically, there are some blown highlights, but they don't affect the impact of the shot. Nice work

Narrow Guage of Interest

You've got the background captured well but it's kind of tough to make out much detail in the train with its distance from you and the brush in the way
