disregard any other comments on how you used depth of field. i think it works perfectly. it really makes this picture. 9

Portrait in Blue

Comment:
generally, a good idea, if very common this challenge. i would have a liked a different pose (more blue looking, i guess) and the yellow in the skin is really distracting.

straighten, crop. the lights are interesting, but the black sky and road would waste a lot of space on a newspaper front page.

Waters over Troubled Bridge
by io

Comment:
every once in a while a title here actually makes me laugh. the picture itself might be a little better (and funnier) if the sign were emphasized somehow, but i'm not sure how you could fit that and the bridge in at the same time because of the funny angle (without sitting in the water), and cropping it differently wouldn't yield any acceptable results. the red object on the right and the car are a little distracting. maybe a change in dof, or desaturation of the reds would help.

if you'd isolated the badge (ie: no texture on the background) and straightened a little, it's a perfect time mazagine cover.

Don't Drink and Drive
by byetko

Comment:
i know everyone else probably left the same comment, but i think the title hurts this picture. it's a great shot, well composed, and definitally the sort of thing you would see on a front page of a local newspaper. something like "Driver charged with DUI in fatal wreck" would have been a lot better. but i'm not gonna mark off for it, because this is a photography site, and not a "name that picture" site. i think i'll give it a 9.

More Delays on the London Underground

Comment:
very interesting photo. the contrast of the black at the bottom and white and the top really works. the angles are interesting. the overall lack of colors other than yellow and skintones, and the muting of those makes it look cold and mechanical. ...and kinda like penguins. beware the penguins. 10? yeah, 10.

nice use of channel desaturation. i can't believe people even get called on this anymore. not sure it's standard photojournalist procedure, but it definitally works for the shot.
