Silent Sentinel

Very soft image with the sunset background, but the subject itself pops out. I like the negative space, but I'm still having an inner debate whether or not I would have changed the orientation and rearranged the negative space to add more upwards, while removing from the left. Given that the image is so straight and has a natural upwards motion, as well as the majority of the suns colours being really centralized I think I would have flipped to portrait. But that's just my opinion. I still really like the shot as presented.

Not Alone So Much Longer

I like this image. I just wish you could have edited out the background tree it's distracting (but that's obviously not in the rules) and I find the border really competes with the pole. i would have skipped it entirely. Other then those 2 aspects, great colour, meets the challenge, and the crop you've selected is perfect.

This shot is really pixilated - did you use a digital zoom by chance to get this close? I like the deerĂ¢€™s alertness, but the background elements are very distracting. I think I would have also skipped the heavy black border; it doesn't help the image at all. Obviously meets the challenge.

Given that the man appears to be homeless and he's eating something in a paper bag beside brightly coloured signs about eating and drinking, you definitely would have had a more powerful image had you captured the subjects face. I realize that street shots are tricky though and who knows if this was an option. Kudos for skipping the staged shot and taking the more unpredictable route.

You know aside from the fact that this is a very good photo as is....it also happens to be a very good photo of a subject matter (forgotten toy) a lot of people have tried and not done nearly as well at, for this challenge. Great light and colour choice. The black part of the border IMO is a tad wide, but I'm just nit picking now. Good job!

You know when I first saw this i wans't completely sold on it, however I left it and came back and I must say it's grown on me. The colour is great, as is the macro detail and the DOF. The only thing I'd remove is the top petal, for some reason I think it draws your eye up of the focus.

I think I would have focused a bit more on the marker as it seems to have some nice details to it, as well I like the colour choice, I would have just lightened it a bit so the busy grass doesn't overwhlem the picture. certainly meets the challenge no issues with that.

I like how you're showing such a wide angle view of the top of the wood - yet I think I would have angled the camera a little differently as the height of the wood does not add to your picture but it does take away from your little man. Perhaps setting your camera at eye level with the wood, at one end and the man at the other to show the empty space?

Where am I?

Overall I really like this image - with the exception of the actual subject. The dark clothing and lack of focus really don't draw your eye to the subject. Excellent idea, the actual capture just needs to be tweaked a bit.
