Petroglyphs
by Artifacts

Comment:
Composition: Nice attempt with foreground/background.
Technical: Unfortunately the colour similarity leaves it a little flat, which is a shame, given the interesting subject.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: Very interesting subject.

Yesterday's Game
by jimmythefish

Comment:
Composition: Nice inclusion of subjects. I think I'd try to get an object more on a third, however.
Technical: Nice focus. Background matches the foreground colour a little too much.
Meets challenge: Yes.
Overall impression: Nicely done.

Real Refreshment
by joannadiva

Comment:
Composition: I'm not too keen on the point of view. If it was possible to get a show without reflections I think it would be better square-on to the cans.
Technical: Focus seems slightly off.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: Composition greatly affects the image, which I'm not too keen on personally.

A Bee's Eye Veiw
by marinajoe

Comment:
Composition: I would have preferred the flower centre to be on the top-right third intersection.
Technical: Unfortunately the eye is instantly drawn to the flower centre, which is slightly out of focus.
Meets challenge: Some people may mark you do for being able to see a background.
Overall impression: Nice subject, but somewhat lacking technically.

Gargoyle
by MikeO

Comment:
Composition: Nice composition and cropping.
Technical: I like the focus and colourisation. Did you try a b&w? I think the border is a little thick and darkens the photo unnecessarily. Don't forget DPC adds a 1px black border, making yours slightly thicker.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: Nice amount of detail and interesting subject.

Blacksmith
by JPR

Comment:
Composition: Interesting composition. There isn't one main focal point, which some viewers may not like. For me it adds to the interest of the photo as a whole.
Technical: Nice colour and contrast. The b&w wall looks surprisingly good against the wooden door/windows.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: Very nice photo. Well done.

100% Pure Feline
by geminiwb

Comment:
Composition: Nice use of ROTs. My eye was drawn to the black part at the bottom though - I would have tried to crop this out, if possible.
Technical: The focal point for me is the cat's eyes/nose, which aren't the most in focus. I think this would improve the image quite a lot. (I realise it's a pain to work with animals!)
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: Nice idea, but lacking a little technically.

"Lobsterface . . ."
by PirateDiversLtd

Comment:
Composition: Because of the relatively similar colours it's hard to pick out focal point. Would have been good to use the rule of thirds to draw the viewer's eye where you want.
Technical: I guess lighting was impossible to change. Did you use a flash? The shadows are a little harsh. Personally I try and avoid using a flash unless really necessary as it does tend to make photos look a little poor.
Meets challenge: Mostly. I would have expected to see no background really.
Overall impression: Good effort and reasonable result.

Hermann the German
by kebmod54

Comment:
Composition: Nice position. Seems very slightly off-centre though.
Technical: Good choice of b&w. Looks very slightly oversharpened?
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: I guess this was difficult to take. Good, but getting it dead straight would help.

I am watchin' you
by Anastasia
