A tad overexposed, focus is soft & not the most flattering of locale, either.

Perspective is a little lacking in creativity. I think it would have been better if you had gotten up close & more toward the front of the bike, taking advantage of the reflections all that chrome has to offer and getting less of the parking lot, shopping carts & pavement stains.

I'm pretty much a newbie here, though, so take my comments with a grain of salt - just 'cause I'm being critical doesn't mean I think MY stuff is doing any better! You'll likely lap my submission, lol... Good luck!

Soft & little noisy compared to the other moon entries. I like your composition more, though...

A little boring in set-up & composition. Doesn't evoke a whole lot from me - could have been helped greatly by more dramatic lighting, IMHO. Nice focus & exposure, though!

Cutie pie - but 'diagonal' connection weak here. Dutch angle would have carried it further as far as the challenge goes...

Small submissions make it hard to really give images a fighting chance!

I also consider this pretty much a DNMC - the ever so slightly slanted perspective seems more accidental than anything - it's missing a strong diagonal connection.

Composition could have been much better overall. The viewer is left wondering what they are supposed to look at - what's the subject? Is it the building? Is it the clouds?

Kinda dark - makes me search for the texture & interest. A little PP playing (what's legal for this challenge anyway - contrast, color, sharpening, etc.) would have gotten you more mileage, I think. 'Diagonal' connection is strong, but not compelling enough on its own without help from what it is composed of, IMHO.

Selective color has gotten pretty cliché - plus I feel this would have been more interesting if the challenge instructions had been followed more spiritedly. A dutch angle here would have brought a lot more to the party.

Egads, I love this one but I'm missing the challenge connection so I have to vote it down a bit. Makes me wonder if it was s'posed to be 'Light on White'. Really lovely, though. I'm a bit bothered by the lower left flower & for these rules I would have framed it out during composition (blurred it more in Advanced Editing). Otherwise I love the delicacy of the center bloom & soft background.

Roma -- Piazza San Pietro

Ambiguous diagonal connection with this one - unless it s'posed to be the slightly skewed horizon impression. If so, perhaps taken it a bit further would have been in order here. Seems more like a tourist snapshot than a thoughtfully composed work of creativity.
