Locked in Time

I like this picture. My main suggestion for improvment would be to step forward a bit to get rid of the tree trunk (or whatever it is to the left).

Totally cute, great colours and focus. This would be a super photo without the the wooden bar right in the middle of the picture, covering half the subject.

Great portrait and subject. The stairs however are not the nicest complement to the picture and end up being a distraction. A little bit of crop to center and remove as much of the side railings would have resulted in a much better score.

This is so dark its difficult to tell if the image is even in focus - it almost looks like an abstract piece, though I doubt this was the intention.

A fitting place for Liberal Media
by kimybrady

Comment:
Not sure why you think the NY Times is so liberal (and why liberal = trash), but I won't let that affect my rating. The picture is too small (use the 640 limit - it's a small limit as it is!), and the composition is dull. Otherwise an interesting idea. There appears to be areas with lack of focus suggesting shallow DOF, but maybe that was a disguised hint at the shallow POV expressed ;-).

A Pearl of Great Price

I can't really make out what this is, though it appears to be the sun in the sky with something crossing in front of it. Needs focus!

World in Motion

Comment:
The levels/contrast adjustments are obviously overdone on purpose. The resulting effect is great on the bridge. What bothers me is the effect on the city lights to the left - the eye is drawn to the blown out neon and away from the bridge. I think it would be better without the guy too.

This would easily do better with a sharper focus. Burt makes a good subject though, you should try this shot again. Seems like it could do better with a smaller aperture (it might also help cut down on the blue tinges you get around the light areas at the top of the picture).

Stormy sunset

Comment:
This is a nice shot. I would have probably rated it higher if the orange wasn't quite so saturated. The building in the bottom left is distracting - a different angle with only the church and the sky would have been more striking.

I have no idea how you captured this so perfectly, but I'm in awe of your skills! I hope you gave some comments on when, where and how you did this so I can read them after the challenge.
