Turning on the Water
by Shy Clicker

Comment:
I actually rather like the composition and colors here, but the water from the pipes really doesn't serve any purpose in the photo, other than to fit it into the challenge. Maybe it would add more if you froze it as it hit the pool and splashed instead of in mid air?

Composition is good, but the colors seem rather flat and highlights are blown out. The bright white invariably draws the eye away from the main subject, in this case, the people in the raft.

Motion is stopped, but it's hard to tell what it is without the title, and the amputated foot in the upper right just confuses the composition further.

Brass-Wound Bass Strings

Comment:
When you consider the title it's somewhat interesting technically to see the stopped motion of the vibrating strings, but as a picture on it's own I'm afraid there's really not much to draw in the viewer, especially when you consider how dark and indistinct it is. You really have to look hard to see more than the highlights on the strings.

Nike Air?

I really like the composition and colors here but the lack of focus on the runner hurts the overall impact. It looks like you let the camera pick the focus point and it opted to lock on to the stationary fence between the two women.

Great shot. The vertical format enhances the shot and the judicious use of color keeps the shot feeling clean and uncluttered.

Excellent detail and sharpness. I'm not sure I'm 100% sold on the tight crop to the bottom and the right side.

Great colors and composition. The best of a generally impressive challenge.

Great perspective shot. I would have liked to see the eyes slightly sharper though.

Very nice concept and composition but the gold inlay in the tooth does not appear to be in sharp focus and to me that should be the focal point of the shot.
