I'm really not a fan of this processing: it has made plastic what might otherwise have been a fascinating shot.

Neighborhood Watch

Perhaps a little more definition in the street outside? I like the concept, but I wonder if a little more depth of field might have made the message plainer.

Suburban Nature

Comment:
Good shot. Composition works well, and that sense of the control of nature's usually more chaotic processes is well communicated.

Perhaps it's just from the edging into frame of that landing, but there's a good sense of a further world about this shot. Something we might, in our suburban fantasy, happily ignore whilst we feed the ducks?

Greenurbia

Comment:
I rather like this one, for this challenge. The pull between the leading line of the path and the middle-ground and background subjects lends it a strong dynamic. The saturated green of the grass, the un-fenced path, the hyper-neatness of everything, all speak strongly of the expected un-natural tidiness of the suburbs; 'we can control everything, even to the riot of nature'. Makes you wonder what sinisterness goes on behind those facades.

Hmmm. Looks like quite a fast child, really.

See, this would really go into my personal categorisation as 'Urban'. With at least an intitial capital. It's a great shot, powerfully dynamic and compositionally strong. Love the detail of it, too.

Carbon Copies

Now I'm a black and white fan - but there could have been more impact in the grass? It has become a pretty bland tonal field, and perhaps a touch more definition would have grabbed the passing voter the more? And in colour, of course ... well, quite an interesting thought to remove the gifts of that medium. I'm not sure black and white isn't too dramatic for suburbia, anyhow.

Cottage of Eden

Has that delightfully fake air about it that really speaks to me of suburbia. Not a line out of place, nor a hint that wood might naturally warp over time. Nicely invidious photograph.

Early Morning Ride.

Perhaps if you'd allowed his reflection to be non-desaturatede also, there would be something here for me: as it is, it feels like the only way you could isolate this subject, and even then you have the piece of bent metal in front of him. Hold very little for me, I'm afraid.
