What I didn't like: Can't think of anything really. I really like this picture.

What I like: The image is very well done, technically.

What I didn't like: maybe the image is too warm? I have a hard time connecting to the picture. It's not a bad picture, it just doesn't move me. It could also be the lack of any specific message.

What I like: Great silhouette picture. I like the detail and color in the sky - good DOF.

What I didn't like: I guess I could say the street lamp... It's pretty hard to pick anything specifically. I feel like you were trying to express just a little bit more in the image than I'm getting from it, and that's probably my fault.

What I like: It's the most humorous crack picture.

What I didn't like: The image quality seems a little bit degraded for some reason. Shallower DOF might have helped.

It's bad luck to pick up a coin if it's tails side up.

Wow factor: 1 for putting a very simplistic yet punchy picture together in a square frame.
Personal tilt: 2/3

What I like: The punch of the coin in the image is pleasant. I like the braclet on the wrist. The B&W works well. Square frame/composition looks great.

What I didn't like: I'm being picky, but the title is really long with a ton of small words in it.

What I like: The best crack picture in the competition IMO. I like the close POV and the muted color.

What I didn't like: I'm not that keen on crack pictures. There ended up being a bunch of them in the competition.

What I like: I like the idea of the image and the graniness in the execution. I think the grain adds to the effect of the image.

What I didn't like: I took a point off for light because the image lacks a 'punch' in my opinion. I know you couldn't control the light and I'm not sure if that point should have been taken for exposure instead. Perhaps the image is too dark?

What I like: Cool effect. Nice job, however you did it!

What I didn't like: Could have been clearer. Hey! I know you probably couldn't do anything about it, but still, people wouldn't have a clue without you trying to get them to spend some time looking for it.
