Lying in Grass

You did a very nice job of capturing this image without blowing out the details in the flower pedals. However, the busy background tends to hide those details, as the flower sort of blends in and fails to hold my attention for an length of time. I can't think of any way to improve this image because the background is what it is.

What a moving image. The passing people only help to make your title oh so true. Bump to a ten.

Stationary and emotionally moving at the same time. Very effective. Bump to a ten.

Some Time To Breathe

To me the subject matter doesn't look like he is resting but in the process of getting started. The rider's right foot is under the pedal, trying to bring it forward so he can get started again, instead of on top in the rest position. Second, the focal point needs to be on the rider's eyes. As presented, the handlebars are in sharper focus than the face of the rider.

Boat Docks

I like the subject you choose for this challenge very much. I have a few suggestions you might want to try to improve the strenth of the composition and the overall quality of the image. First, you may want to remove the boats on the right hand edge and some of the sky by cropping. The direction of the boats tends to lead my eyes out of the picture and away from the stonger positioned boats. The top of the sky has very little detail and removing would make the relationship between the dry docked boats and the water stronger. Second, the waterline and dock make this image appear slanted to the right. A slight rotation to the left to bring these features horizontal would help the visual impact. Third, the colors in the sky are a bit washed out. I think these could be improved using saturation, curves, and levels in post processing.

A Railway Station at at night

This is a very lovely scene but it really doesn't convey stationary very well, as the lights give the feeling that they are open for business and trains could be coming and going. Although the Station part of Railway Station is a fun play on the Stationary theme, I would never have known this was a rail station without the title. On the techical side, the lights along the left side of the building are a little blown. This would indicate that the exposure time was a little long. There also appears to be a little camera shake involved, as the building does not have a stong focus to it.

Man from Pompei

I like the lighting and the B&W conversion of this image very much. The background is kind of busy and actually blends into the left shoulder of the statue. Although the statue itself protrays something that does move, statues in themselves are stationary objects and aren't the stronges subject choice for this challenge.

This is a very lovely photo and the lighting and focus are spot on. However a statue is always stationary, which weakens this entry for this challenge.

Independent Stay

The soft focus of this image suggest that you may be experiencing a little bit of camera shake or that you need to sharpen the image after reducing the size. I like the subject matter of this image and the title even made me smile, as it is a play on words for the recent US holiday, Independance Day. The lighting makes it hard to see detail in the eagle but this could be improved using levels or curves. I also suggest that you might want to use a square crop, removing as much of the right side of the image as possible to reduce the negative space. My eyes want to look in the direction that the eagle is looking; however the negative space and the slant of the tree brach draw my eyes to the right side of the image.

To be honest, I really don't know what this object is. The fact that it looks like it was designed to be stationary doesn't make it a very strong subject for a stationary challenge. The technical aspects of the image appear to be pretty good; however, the composition of the image and placing of the object makes it look like the mondane, everyday object it is.
