Those green circle things almost look like eyes peering down at me under covers. Probably not the image you were going for, but it looks neat to me! I like the brightness of the 'monster' and the light on the 'headpiece' and the surrounding darkness. Very cool!

Neptune

I like how it is almost like he is looking up at the light source. Interesting choice to use black and white. The water splashing and the fact that it is really hot here right now makes me want to think summery, but the black and white doesnt support that very well. I think I'm tempted to want the female over his shoulder to be less in the shadows also. It's a good capture of a fountain.

My First Barn

Overcast skies are always unfortunate but I think it goes with the sepia tone that you've chosen. It's a good shot, but I just dont get much wow factor from it. Compositions of large buildings from up close can be difficult, and I think you likely got the best angle of it that you could.

Good composition and lighting, although the image seems a little soft. USM may have helped it out some.

Morning Harbor

First thing I notice is that most of the shot is out of focus. There is a lot of clutter with the masts and not a singluar focal point. The masts are also cropped out, likely due to you trying to get the reflection in as well. Changing to a portrait format and isolating one boat may have given you less clutter and more of the whole of the boat, else stepping back some (if possible) to get more of the scene, or zooming in to get less, such as the two hulls(?) and their reflections.

Shy Salt

The black and white is good although I think the contrast may be a little too high as the white of the taller salt shaker is a little too bright, almost blown. The toning is good and the texture of wood table and background go well with the black and white used. The perspective of the table gives it a sense of 'tilted horizon'. The overall idea of giving inanimate objects human personality is cute and of course works better with the tie-in with the title, but works well without as well.

It's fairly abstract and I dont know if your reflection was intentional or not, but it does give it a somewhat reflecting pool look. Not a lot of interest or contrast in the shot to really pique my curiosity.

Nice toning but it looks out of focus, possibly due to low light. The shadows in the corners dont really help much either.

A New Perspective

Very neat shot and breathtaking view. It certainly is a different view of a mountainscape, except maybe in the windows challenge :P Should score well.

Birds on a Cooler

Wow, the heads make them look almost wooden, but their claws look pretty realistic. Such an odd and strange look, especially those almost perfect round eyes. I'm tempted to say the crop is a little tight, but maybe just a little on the one on the left. Very interesting shot.
