Symmetry life

I like this image a lot, mainly because it is a different idea. The colours are nice and vivid, espcially for being shot through bubble wrap!

The symmetry isn't immediately obvious, which could be one of the causes of the low score. One of the ways to improve this would be to crop out more of the left side, though I don't think it really needs it.

Good job, I really think this should have placed higher.

Forty Five Miles Per Hour

If it hadn't been for the nasty glare on the sign this would have ranked higher in my book. Actually, I think you could have dropped the sign all together out of the photo and I would have ranked it high. I love the greens and that lonely tree.

ehh.. ROYGBIV

Missing a couple colours there for it to be a rainbow.. and they aren't even the right order. Nice compositon, but it seems like the focus is just a tad bit off. Good pic none the less.

Oh wow. This stirs emotions with me as my grandpa flew for the Flying Tigers in China. Good shot, but it seems to be a bit over compressed.

Wow.. I really really like this shot. The red tone gives an otherworldly feel to it. The connection to Pi is rather tenuous. Still 7.

"In PS I removed dust & scratches and I lifted the contrast"

You do realize that removing dust and scratches violates the rules of the challenges? Unless you're using some techinque that affects the entire picture, that's considered spot editing. I appologize in advance if you removed them by some other means.

Initial Impression:
Interesting idea, too much going on.

Challenge:
I really like the idea you had here, it's a very different interpretation of time than one would think of but still very reconizable. Good Job!

Compostion:
This is where you would lose the most points from me, I feel it's too jumbled and there's not enough focus on the action. Cropping either right below the cafe windows or right below the "Cafe Open" sign would have made this a better shot, in my opinion. It would allow the viewer to really get a feel for the situation without any of the other distractions.

Technical:
Good. Lighting is good, focus is good. Nothing really to fault in this area.

Overall:
Good action shot that meets the challenge creatively. A tighter crop would create more balance and a more focused composition.

Good Job and keep up the improvement!

The pic is okay. The nice bit is the lens flare on the tack. Reminds me of a WB cartoon. :)

The picture isn't all that great. It's the extra editing you've done that really sets this apart and makes it funny. Good!

Okay.. while I'm not a big fan of the Joke here, I'm really a sucker for a good pan. This constitutes a good pan. The green makes it a bit surreal too. Good job.
