I really like the composition in this shot as well as the curve of the walkway/road/thing. Good eye!

Great combination of both smooth and rough textures. The image is composed in a pleasing manner and the colors don't scream at me. I like it!

Up to par?

Very well done...I like the sharpness of the dimples, the negative space on the left and the framing of the ball. Nicely done, I hope you ribbon!

Shipping Crate Cezanne

The person and shipping crate are an excellent subject and perfect for this challenge. I also like the composition of the person/ladder in the frame.

I realize that the fence introduces another version of texture to the image, but I feel interferes with the repeating "texture" of the shipping crate. I'm not entirely sure I like the red border on the image either, it seems just a bit bright for my tases, but that's just my opinion.

This is nice...I like the composition and use of fairly shallow DOF to separate the wall in front from the tree. My favorite so far!

I think this is a great take on this challenge, a very good subject. I feel the water and sky seem to dominate a good portion of the image, it's a shame you didn't (couldn't?) shoot this from a bit higher vantage point.

This is just great, well thought out and an excellent use of shallow DOF. I hope this one wins, or at least ribbons!
