Funny as this was going to be the exact view that I was going to submit myself. I figure that most people that visited the city was going to have a shot like this in there collection of photos so I chose not too.

Angle of the composition is nice as the eyes follow the span toward the Marin side of the bay. The reds stand out against the blue of the ocean and the sky. The inclusion of the sailboats gives the viewer the feeling that the ocean is a recreational area.

Very interesting subject. Makes me want to see what it's attached too. You picked a great time to shoot the display, a very warm look to the subject makes it interesting.

Contrast is great. Lighting is excellent. Subject is fairly interesting, but a little too much negative space.

I hope everyone can see the child before voting and bypass seeing the shot as a whole. Some contrast would really bring out the shot more. This is a great shot to try the burning and dodging method that so many likes and dislikes. "7"

There's Always a Light

Use of levels and curves would really make this composition would add an extra punch and make it pop even more. The beautiful red rocks are incredible, you can almost feel the sharp edges on them.Helps to frame your subject very well.

Tahe viewers eyes is lead through the cave toward the other end effectively with the use of the contrast of the interior of the cave and the light coming from the other end.

Not sure if you have a circular polarize filter but I can see some extreme potential to up the blues with it to really make those sweeping clouds pop out of the shot.

I kind of like the fence post in the shot but it takes away from the theme of the challenge. Your eyes automatically focus in on the post because of the contrast of the sky, trees, etc. If it wasn't included the viewers eyes would follow the lines of the trees,shrub,etc.

Eye leading is what makes a shot interesting and memorable. I know that I myself need some help in this :)

Beautifully captured composition. A bit more sharpness would definitely help improve the scene. Taking shots of droplet of water is very difficult, but your attempt is worth recreating as this type of shot would be very saleable.

The contrasting colors are really beautiful and make this very interesting. The colors of the ripples gives a surreal feeling.

Tiny bit of noise reduction would also help here.This is definitely a great do over shot/recreation shot. If you do please post for everybody to enjoy.

Choice of subject matter is good. The use of depth of field who really help to bring out the details in the Hot Wheels. The details in most Hot Wheels vehicle makes it a good subject to get close to.

The viewers eyes after looking at the beautiful flames seem to wonder around the image. Giving the shot more dof would give a certain point of interest and make the composition more striking.

The focusing seems to be on the reflective surface that the car is placed on. You can almost feel the texture of the bookcase. This definitely works very well with the vibrant colors reflecting off the surface.

This is truly a magnificient scene and tender moment. A slightly closer crop would give a more intimate feeling to the composition. Cropping the left side of your shot closer toward your eyes and cropping up to the right side up your sons shoulder would help to give this feeling.

The catchlight on your sons' eyes really make this a beautiful shot and helps the viewers eye look right at it. Your lighting technique on this shot is extremely well done. The contrast on both side of his face make this shots very interesting and appealing.

An Airplane Seat View

Quite an interesting view. The odd shaped window frames the picture well. The negative space around the frame feels correct. Don't know if anybody is going to say crop closer, but I feel it's perfect.

The view is not the most interesting but you were able to get some good elements in the shot, from the trees to the sky in the background. The house that is almost centered in the shot seems to be the main subject of the shot. "8"
