Very nice. In any other challenge may well have ribboned. The texture of the bark and her hair is cool, the tonal range across the shot is good. The subject is great, the look on her eyes the earring and the expression generally hint at something deeper than a simple portrait. Lovely take. I'm honoured that someone with your obvious talent liked my photo. Added you as a fave.

Love these cars, the black and white is great, the noise/grain is a tiny bit overpowering, but adds to the obselete feel. Good catch.

Cool. Texture is great. Shame about the little bit of colour! Just kidding I like this one a lot. I'm adding you as a fave.

Lovely. The reflection on the water, the texture of the clouds, make for a nice shot. The blowout sun is a tiny bit of a shame, but a well realised photo. The pier adds a great deal of interest to the photo.

I like it. Black and white brings the chrome and the reflections and shadows out for a very understated but very nice accidental letter. I would have scored this very highly, and definitely not just because it's b/w. Great capture.

But I can not reach the ball! The water is too deep!

This screams print me - it's really cool, the texture of the water and the look on the dog's face are very nice, the brightness of the ball helps too. It may make for a nice b/w treatment, but nice all-round. Slight red-eye on the dog (if I'm right) is a tiny bit distracting but it is really a great photo.

This is really cool - the colour of the building, the appropriateness for the challenge, the framing, the texture of the brickwork, the contrast between the yellow and the blue of the building and the blue and white of the phone booth. This one deserved the good placing, if not better.

Far from pretentious, I'd score this highly in the challenge concerned, and the roots have a strength and sharpness to them which is good. Nice.

Very nice, not a hint of noise. The stereotypical rock star shot, but that doesn't make this one any less cool at all.

Wow. The tone range in this is sublime!!! Sharpness and the faitly monotone in such a brilliant colour are great too but I feel it'x the emotive composition which makes this photo the gem that it is. Added to my faves.
