I KNEW someone would use the relevance of the challenge topic in their shot! Almost did something similar myself.

Too much negative space...

Counting The Edges

Comment:
Great idea! It seems a little unballanced though. Some negative space at the bottom (not as much as you have at the top) would help to even it out.

I would like to know how this was lit. At first I thought car lights, but it looks like one light source...

Letting Go of Three Candles
by whagerbaumer

Comment:
Not a bad composition. Just needs a tad bit more light. I know it seems counter intuititive, but if you were to try a reshoot with some more ambient lighting, this could go from an average shot to a good one. Consider turning this into a study session and post some results if you do. I would like to see them!

Three O'Clock

This shot is very yellow. This leads me to belive that your white balance is wrong. Did you shoot this under regular lighting (incandescent light bulbs)? If so, you need to adjust your cameras settings to reflect this. Your gold tone border might work with the shot IF the white balance was correct. In this example though, your border accentuates the yellowness of the shot and contributes to the issue. Compositionally the shot is not bad, but the subject material isn't such to hold interest for long...

Half Dome, Yosemite

Comment:
Appears to be oversharpened a tad. You have the dreaded halo effect around the mountain. Too dark on the left side. Layers/masks might help you lighten up the shadows and retain the detail in the highlights.

Autumn Reflection

Comment:
Looks too saturated for my tastes. Colors don't seem 'real'. You also appear to be blown out in a couple of spots. Like the soft focus effect though!
