Shining Down

Looks a little soft, which isn't bad, but it seems to be lacking some detail, possibly due to over processing. I like the colors and the silhouette though.

I dunno how you accomplished this effect but I really like it. The duotone nature of this is nice as well.

Coming Through

A really cool capture, especially with the green light cast on the old machinery. You've presented a great contrast between light and dark and the composition is very strong. Nice work.

Nice subject and exposure. The nose is a little out of focus, but otherwise a great capture.

Great idea and nice capture of the light, but some contrast boosts could really make this pop imho.

Backlit Leaf

Some distracting elements in the background and an errant shadow on the bottom detract from this. For this type of shot (and I do think it is a good idea), a closer macro focus on the plant and slightly stronger backlighting might make it more interesting. Also, compositionally the split down the center is a little unappealing. Keep trying though.

Discovery of the Martian Beer

I wouldn't say that lighting is a strong element of the photo here. It seems a bit underexposed to my eye. Also, the textrue of the ...plant? on top is in stronger focus than the bottle, leading my eyes to wander there. I think a closer crop on the bottle with a stronger focus and a more interesting angle (maybe shooting from the cap down with the cap in strong focus if you know what I mean) might make this more compelling.

Catching the rain with high speed Flash

I like the technique but am unsure of the composition. All of the clothespins are presented in the same angle with little to distinguish any one in particular from the others. I notice the slanted position of the one, but feel that a different angle (of the camera on the pins) or arrangment of the pins might make this more compelling. The raindrops are cool, and that should be the focus of this shot. Instead, my eyes are drawn to the pins, but don't find a lot of interest there. Aside from those issues, I like the frozen aspect of the water and your exposure is well done.

The Natural: Tinted and Reflected

Comment:
Could be improved compositionally imho. The reflection symmetry isn't strong enough to fix the split straight down the center. I think this image would be strengthened (especially for this challenge) if the reflection of the sun was present in the building, possibly with a little flare to make it more dynamic.

I think I found your picture = )
Very nice, a completely different treatment than mine, the partial desaturation works well here.
