I really like this one. I eyed a few manholes for this challenge as well. The gold color is nice. I would have liked to see the whole lid in sharp focus. 6

Tee Time

I like "ball full of circles" idea. The bright side of the ball is a little bright, but I know how difficult that can be to rectify in the open challenges -- I've struggled with it myself.

Hmm.. a nice picture, but it's barely a circle -- to me. I think it could have been very interesting if you could have caught the sun more in line with the face of the wall there -- casting some nice shadows too.

The title made me search for the meaning, the old piers guided me to it. I like this one.

Arrival

I tried to do something similar -- but I found that I couldn't get high enough to really see the runway. I 4-wheeled right up to the airport perimeter fence and set an 8-foot ladder on the top of my chevy blazer and snapped away until airport security came out to ask what the heck I was doing. Then I didn't even wind up using the shots.

I think that, as with my shots, a higher vantage point would work better to show the runway's "leading lines" -- but I like the color in your shot.

Inbetween Games

I like this. I think it would have been spectacular if you could have somehow managed it during a game with an ump, catcher, batter and pitcher in there. As it is, I'm left wishing the lines were drawing me into -- something.

Passage to Atlantis

I like the idea of this shot. The color of the water is a nice contrast to the brown/grey of the pillars. The water droplets in the air I think are distracting and they get in the way of where I'm trying to look.

Focused on the Hunt

Great shot! Very clear, and you can really see the bird is actively hunting. I didn't give it a 10, because I really want to see his eye, but the light angle just doesn't quiet allow it. 9. Your shot was my top pick.

A fun shot! I think I would have enjoyed it more if the whole bird were in the picture. 5

Bird on a Wire

This is a waxwing, right? Very pretty birds. It's too bad the lighting wasn't more on the bird to give finer detail and to separate his eye and beak a little better. 5
