A very busy image. I don't feel like there's a main focal point where my eyes want to rest.

There's not really anything here to keep my attention. More contrast might have helped the image pop a bit, but there still really isn't any obvious subject to draw attention to.

This is kind of a confusing image, and were it not for the title, I'd be lost. I am guilty of not giving images ample viewing time before voting, so speaking from experience, it's difficult to vote on confusing ones in just a couple of seconds. The image itself seems to need some contrast and maybe a bit more saturation (it could be my crappy monitor), which might give it more "oomph."

Nice choice of an atypical sporting venue. The path/road gives a good direction for the eye to follow. I might like this better compositionally if the perspective were lower to the ground with the start sign prominent - might bring the focus to feet. Does that make sense? Just my 2 cents. Thanks for sharing.

Disc golf, right? My son's into that. Nature's arena. I guess that's fair. Picture's not well focused, though. And, you could have given more thought to your composition.

This is just too cluttered to have much impact to the viewer. TOO much going on, weeds, trees, shadows, post, poles, signs. Sorry. Good luck

tough composition. The canvas size limits the detail we can see. Firs and grasses can be very tough to make look good. 4

Cute. Hope they took their compasses with them. Those woods look fairly thick! :D Good idea and take on this challenge. Best of luck to you.

overall score: comp-1,meets challenge-2,PP-0,impression-0,wow-0 = 3. sorry.
what I would change here is to work a bit with saturation and contrast, to make green woods stand out. and also I would have checked exposure before shooting. you see - these white things (what is it?) are overexposed, they are just some white spots.
good luck!
