Reflective Light

I like the idea and the appearance of the water. I think this would be much more powerful though in a landscape format and with the sun off center to the left.

Eve lighting of Malta

Could benefit from some noise reduction software, as well as a counter-clockwise rotation of about 2-3 degrees. Compositionally I'd like to see more of the ships in the scene, backlit by the moon. The town isn't the focus of this shot, but occupies a large portion of the image.

Suncatcher

Great capture! His pose is really accentuated by your composition of the photo. The soft colors really emphasize the lighting as well.

Natures Light

Always a good subject for light, but the composition here could be improved imho. My eyes are drawn to the roof of the house for its sharp edges and bright red. It competes with the rainbow for attention. Also, the post processing looks a little rushed. There is a clear and noticeable line separating the trees from the sky. To me it looks like either a little too much use of the clone tool or a composite image. The rainbow in itself is good, but I think the rest of the image really needs work. A softer background/foreground would better compliment the rainbow in my opinion.

Appears a little soft to me. The lighting and composition is good, but the post processing doesn't add to this imho.

(just for clarification, I'm the Maverick with an 'e' and a 'c', there's another photographer who goes by Mavrik, but that's not me = )
Apologies for the unintentional rhyme..

Different Outlooks

Nice capture - I like that the horse's leg is blurred, suggesting movement. I'd like to see a closer crop on the two subjects (to better emphasize the 'people' aspect of the challenge), but I also like having the horse and buggy fully in the shot. A tighter crop on the buggy/horse as a whole might accomplish this as well IMHO. The child's expression is great = )

Childhood Memories

Definitely sticks out as a memorable shot. I like the candid-esque look as well. The only suggestion I would have is to maybe clone out the highlighted area on the top right of the scene. IMHO it competes with the two people.

Angry Sea

Nice capture and framing. This might benefit from a little dodging and/or burning to further distinguish the water from the sky and the water highlights.

Yes, this is cropped to a 4:3 aspect ratio, but should be full size vertically. The building focus is a little stronger in the full size image, but I agree it does look pretty soft here.
