Lovely reflection, however I think it would have alot more impact if only the reflection of the legs were included (crop the reflection of the body from the bottom of the image). 7

This is a great portrait of the leopard. You've caught the expression wonderfully and the exposure seems right on. However, the grass in front of the face is very distracting. 7

It's Going to be a Hot Day

Good job keeping the noise down in this image be through software or otherwise. IMO this image lacks context. A reference point the foreground or background would help. 6

The colours and the rhythm of this image are wonderful, however it could use a bit more exposure to make the flowers pop. This is probably related to the lighting. It appears to be an overcast day. 6

Composition: The hand and the coin seem to balance well with the black background. There appears to be just enough negative space. Cutting of the arm just above the wrist seems to work for you here due to the context.

Lighting: The lighting appears to be a bit too harsh and/or the white balance is a bit off. The skin tone does not appear natural. It looks a bit too orange. The light appears to be very strong coming from the right.

Exposure: The strong light has created some very strong highlighted areas on both the hand and the coin, however, the overall image appears to be exposed correctly. A slightly different angle for the light may help reduce the strong hightlights and give a more balanced exposure.

Impact: The coin frozen in midair and the hand frozen in the flip position seem to make the image static. A slower shutter speed to catch the motion of the coin and/or the movement of the thumb I believe would portray the sense of choice better and produce more impact.

Keep shooting.

Great texture and tone, however the middle footprint lacks detail and contrast with the rest of the sand and therefore the image feels a little out of balance.

Also, the image feels a little static due to the central location of the line of footprints. A diagonal placement of the footprints could possibly add impact by adding a bit of tension to the image.

Sand, as with snow, plays tricks on the camera's light meter, however you seem to have got the exposure right for the lighting conditions.

Keep shooting.

Well balanced, well exposed. Must be very early since the water is so still. Great clarity in the reflection. There seems to be a little noise in the sky which is probably due to jpeg compression.

Well done. 10

edit... I had to correct the spelling

Even though the person is almost in the centre, the composition works since the dramatic clouds seem to converge on his position. Great positioning of the horizon to emphasize the clouds. A little more contrast in the clouds may give the image even more impact. 9

Where Skyscraper Meets Sky

The clouds blend nicely from sky to reflection, however I think the contrast needs a bit of a boost in the reflection. The pattern of the windows also adds some nice texture to your image. 7

Unique take on the challenge. The clarity is excellent. 9
