Convergence
by mbardeen

Comment:
Composition: Interesting composition. I think I may have tried rotating it 45 degrees CW, but it looks fine as is.
Technical: Nice focus, apart from far-right. It looks a little oversharpened? Nice colour and lighting.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: I think I'd have liked to see this in the Contrasts challenge. Seems a little 'flat' for this challenge.

Father and Daughter
by svital

Comment:
Composition: I would be tempted to crop the white bow at the left, the child is a little too centralised. Nice position of the father though.
Technical: Nice focus, but the shadow under the girl's chin and ear is a bit harsh. I may have tried reducing contrast and increasing brightness slightly.
Meets challenge: A bit iffy..
Overall impression: Nice documentary shot, but for me cropping it on the left might be an improvement.

Pocket Change...
by StevePax

Comment:
Composition: With the image fairly 'flat' in terms of what to focus on my eye was instantly drawn to the dark top-right coin/shadow.
Technical: Reasonable focus and colour. It looks slightly over-sharpened though, unless that's the coins themselves.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: An interesting image.

What is That?
by pepsipepsibaby

Comment:
Composition: Nice angle of image - improves the shot dramatically for me.
Technical: I would have preferred more DOF, but this may be a camera limitation. Good colour and contrast where in focus.
Meets challenge: Mostly
Overall impression: Nice image only let down by DOF.

organic

Comment:
Composition: Interesting use of portrait.
Technical: The colour is great, but the flower is out of focus unfortunately.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: The photo looks a little dark, which most likely won't help focus. When this happens try and hold the camera steady and push the shutter button slowly. Or use a tripod, or rest your camera on something solid. Good effort.

Exposed Staircase
by d14

Comment:
Composition: Interesting choice to put the brickwork slightly off-centre and off a third, but it doesn't detract at all. I may have cropped a little tigher on the top edge, as the darkness top-right draws my eye.
Technical: Contrast is nice, but I would have tried a little sharpening to improve clarity.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: I love this style of photo but that small lack of clarity lets it down.

A Rose is a Rose is a Rose
by mariomel

Comment:
Composition: Good centralisation of the middle of the rose supported by the sharpness of the leaf to the left.
Technical: Nice DOF and colour. Really don't like the border - you will very rarely get higher scores for adding a shaded border - best to stick with simple ones.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: The subject is unfortunately a little imperfect, making an otherwise fairly flawless photo look a little poorer.

Need a Push?
by Drake

Comment:
Composition: Bold choice of a fairly centralised photo.
Technical: The colour of the boat makes it look a little dark, so I would have been tempted to take the photo more from the left, on the lighter side of the hull.
Meets challenge: The sky at the top lets it down a bit..
Overall impression: Interesting subject, I would maybe have tried a different composition.

'67 Beetle
by tfarrell23

Comment:
Composition: May have tried to use the ROT's a little more, although I appreciate the parts are a little far apart.
Technical: Nice contrast and lighting. Interesting shadows too. Around the bumper and numberplate it looks stepped - poor resize?
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: It's rare for car shots to look nice, but this is a good example. Let down slightly technically, but otherwise spot on for me.

Horsepower
by Aaron

Comment:
Composition: Wheel is nicely parallel to the frame, although looking at the pic I want to step the right a little to be more face-on to the edge of the tire. I keep thinking you've hidden something behind the right-hand edge of the wheel!
Technical: Nice focus and contrast. Good choice of b&w I think.
Meets challenge: A little iffy, sorry..
Overall impression: Nice photo, but I don't think it really 'fills the frame'.
