a dog and her beloved, balancing frisbee

Very blurry. Also, this is not a very good viewpoint. It would be better to get down at the dog's level.

I don't know---this is pretty mundane stained glass. It's a nice shot but the border is excessive.

Nice try. I just don't find these kinds of shots very compelling.

Ooh, I wish that background wasn't so distracting and that the focus was sharper. This is an impressive display, even for a peacock.

Extraordinary Rendez-vous Spot

This looks like a fairly typical meeting place to me, "Meet me by the big fountain in the square..."
I would suggest a tripod for night shots. Nothing appears to be in sharp focus.

This looks very similar to a shot in the Newspaper challenge. I like the capture of the the waveriness in the air the heat causes. Kind of a static looking viewpoint though.

Saturday Night

I don't see anything extraordinary in this scene. Maybe if he were lighting is guitar on fire? Seriously, it's a middling night club shot. It could use sharper focus (I know this is difficult in this environment). I like the way the subject is limned with red light.

Splash of Colour

Very nice. Better cropping is needed. The edge of the deck and the water detract from the graphic quality of the composition. I'm not sure this is extraordinary.

50 feet to water
by thumper

Comment:
I'd be more convinced if you actually showed the 50 ft. drop. The distance from the subject and the blurry trees in the edges of the frame make this look kind of creepy---like the photographer is hiding in the bushes taking photographs of adolescent boys. I'm not saying that is the case--it's just the impression the composition gives.
