.... fire in the sky

Great idea for this challenge. If you select just the sky you could brighten the aurora 20-30% or so and apply some noise reduction to it and you could make a much more dramatic sky without washing out the nice city lights below.

Lighting and composition is very good here. The digital "jaggies" at the top of the image are a bit of a distraction and hurt the overall quality of this fine photograph. Those digital artifacts can be smoothed out using about a 5 pixel brush with a blur tool in post processing. That would make the image even better than it already is.

I like this image a lot. It was one of my top three favorites in this strong challenge.

Frisbee

Rating photographs is very subjective, but I respectfully disagree with the majority on this fine image.

Composition is great and lighting very good. The image has interest by focusing on the frisbee and the technical quality is high.

This is a top three caliber shot. It will be recognized as an outstanding image long after this challenge and score are forgotten.

Good framing and the low contrast works well in this case.

Up to par?

I like this image in every respect except for the swoosh and the numeral "2". Both look pixellated and over focused and that distracts from the overall excellent quality and composition of the rest of the image, especially the dimples on the golf ball.
