Band of Brothers

While five spent matches don't usually pique my interest, you managed to arrange them in a pleasing way and the smoke trailing off is just mesmerizing. Everything is edited very well and the focus and DOF is spot on. Bumping up.

You have an interesting concept here. Couple of things could improve this picture. Shoot against a less busy background, perhaps stick a nice dark sheet of paper back there, or place the clock against a more subtle backdrop. Or you could have cropped out the Philips LCD and stand. Second issue is that the exposure is a bit high and the glare off the clock a bit strong, factors which could easily be corrected by using a different exposure setting (or softer lighting).

Yahtzee!

The black background was a great choice to contrast against the red cup and white dice. Nice lighting as well, bumping up.

Ok you got me. I'm not getting the association with five here. It's a good picture of a house, and I'm not making any sort of connection with your title.

Excellent color. I suggest either foregoing the border altogether, or using a more neutral color.

Wonderful and creative composition. A square crop would work well here, too.

This picture is so cheesy I like it!

I like the composition for its perspective - five figures fading into the distance. Nice tonal range, the B&W route was a good choice.

I think this is a fabulous composition. I recommend toning down the red channel just a bit to prevent blow out of the reds.

Fantastic timing! I know how hard it is to get these birds to cooperate! Really, they don't listen or pay attention to how you want them to pose, but you managed to nail this one. :-)
