Monster at Red Fish Lake

As a joke photo, this is fine. Maybe it'd have been better if the fish were coming in from a side, rather than be positioned dead centre. The background does not have very vibrant colours, nor is the fish particularly sharp. 4

nice take on the challenge theme. Maybe the lighting could have been better to avoid those ugly shadows to the right of the pieces. 5

Good graphic elements here. My only beef is with the brightness level. Rather than be shiny, the scene looks dull to me. 5

Not so bad. I just don't think that having a lot of the frame in green was a great idea. Crisply shot, though. 5

Interesting combination of objects. A pretty scene. 6

Lock and Key

A simple object captured cleanly. I wonder, though, about the challenge itself, which was not to shoot two things which are used together, but to find interesting combinations, IMHO. 6

war and money

Comment:
Unfortunately true. Good choice of b&w - illustrating the starkness of war and money. I especially like the 'prison bars' shadows at the top - really pushing your message home. For a final, wonderful, touch, you've got one of the US's founding fathers looking down on the mess he's created. Powerful stuff. So, in terms of meaning, I think that you've done a splendid job here. Visually? Not bad. 8

Nice. Neatly done. The silver and sharpness actually give a wow factor here. The subject is a bit obvious for the challenge, but shot very nicely. 8

Interesting pun. A boring photo, though. Forgive my honest reaction. 4
