Too bright overall for me to give it my best mark, I'm afraid.

Soul

Comment:
The composition/arrangement of bits is very muddled, to the point where (a) the eye has nowhere to settle, and (b) one almsot has no idea what the hell it's meant to be or do.

Is it a ... saxophone? Maybe?

Timeless Youth

Unfortunately, your shot is completely black. I can see every other submission to this challenge (even Black Feather, for which I had to turn up my already-calibrated monitor), but I can't see yours, even with Contrast and Brightness pumped all the way to 100%. Sorry, the inside of the lens cap is not a valid low-key choice. :->

I'm glad I'm not the only one with embarrassing little not-quite-zit skin-bumps!

For what it's worth, I gave it a, 8, and would have possibly gone as high as 9 if there were less random speckles all over it (post-processing might have fixed it?).

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Comment:
It feels more centered than un- to me, though I grant it is highly asymmetric.

Vaulter

Comment:
This shot's subject is very centered, IMHO, so I can't grade it quite as highly on theme as I might otherwise.

1.25 cents

Comment:
This composition is very balanced, and because of that doesn't feel 'off-center' to me, particularly. It's a GORGEOUS crisp macro, beautifully lit, though.

Church at Night
by nathaliedoo

Comment:
The church is darn close to centered, and the circular path certainly is, so I'll have to grade this down a bit on theme grounds. :-/
