Whoo! Nicely captured, great bolts! The table in the bottom left is slightly distracting, though. 8

Looking for a picture to take for the darkness photo competition!!

Recursive, or self-referential?! would have been better if the person's silhouette had bisected the horizon. Nice colours and composition, though. 5.

Solace in Darkness

A slightly faster capture might have reduced the halo, but less of the candle would have shown up... Choices choices. Good composition, and meets the challenge nicely. 6

The Pond

Comment:
This has a wierd quality about it. Have all the colours been desaturated? This has little that's in focus, which is distracting me from the pond, which would have been better if it had taken up slightly more of the photo. Perhaps shooting from a slightly higher angle would have done the trick. 5

Alone...

I can't decide whether this should have had a tighter crop or not - it would do more for the subject if it was tighter, but having the wider crop emphasises the loneliness of the person. 6

Interesting idea here. I think this should have been sharper, though. 4

This could have been brighter, and it still would have worked - nice composition. 4

I really can't work out where the point of focus is - the candle's light really blows out the glass, which being in the centre of the photo is very unfortunate.The composition doesn't emphasise the darkness. Putting the candle and glass on the right of the picture, and focussing on the background might have worked better. 4
