Hourglass

Technically excellent study - like the background progression of light: really adds that little interest to the negative space, and pulls the eye to the subject. (I've used background light like this myself, and usually been knocked in comments for it - intrigued to know if you're getting something similar). Strong sense of texture on the wood. Just the slightest sense (and it's more significant in such a contrlled an simple image) of too much sharpening in some edges of the wood - top right especially.

Very clever; can't say it does much for me photographically. I wonder if you haven't sacrificed a sense of depth and power of light in the process of the trick.

A clear technical meeting of the challenge - no, that doesn't read like I mean it (it's a compliment). I mean that the element of passing time is a camera-relevant one, rather than subject-based. I love that you haven't gone to black for your background. I love the intent of this too. Great shot, I hope it does wildly better than I expect it to ;-)

This strong composition is just a touch let down by that semi-focussed stalk image left - adds a touch of confusion to the visual progression through your three subjects. Good colour - perhaps the yellows on the flower are just a fraction over-done? I feel that some areas have lost detail. Neat approach to the challenge though.

Good high-key work - thank god you haven't gone for the 'perfectly' white background which is so annoying to the eye. I can't say I like the composition of subject very much - though it does have a strong element of recession to it, I think it has become too complicated; my temptation would be to have lined them up more, use a stronger diagonal composition ... but I'm not certain that would work any better :-) A pretty common subject approach too.

Like the approach tremendously - your processing has achieved that sense of an aged shot very well - has the feel of a early 20th century traveller's shot. Really like the composition too. Subtle, graceful.

Time On Earth

Comment:
I like this - especially the dark tones of the stones, coupled with the weathering of the boarding of the building. I find your choice of point of view a bit odd - mainly where the ttree overlaps the building - rather that it just leaves that small edge of it still showing: it doesn't quite work compositionally, though quite what I'd recommend instead I don't know. Strong image, nevertheless.

Approaching its 141st winter

There's a ver strong sense of a tilted horizon here - although some of that is an illusion. I'd personally have done something, or gone further, to reduce the difference of light between the building and the sky. A nicely composed image, though - especially like the light on the side of the tower - a shame you couldn't have caught the whole building in that light. It's good to see someone shooting at a sensible time of day :-)

Excellent portrait - real sense of character. Not wholly excited about your background, but that's just personal.

A Split Second

Comment:
Not sure about the very cold blue, nor the cropping of the image leaving just part of the fruit. Some comment about time passing relevant to time stopped - it feels a stretch I'm afraid.
