Too busy, I lose track of the focal point.

This is interesting and neat... I like the bloom effect you got. But I think it would be better with a higher resolution to eliminate the "digital" effect.

I think I like this but I'm wondering exactly HOW you got this effect without use of filters or special effects? Mirrors, maybe? I find it hard on the eyes, but makes me keep looking to try to figure it out.

Cute drawing, I would like to see more of the pencil and hand in the photo.

An interesting picture, but I don't like to see the name of the challenge used in the title. I'm not exactly sure what you've done to get this effect, and it's kind of hard on the eyes, but it makes you LOOK! Good balance, light and color.

New Morning...

I don't like to see the name of the challenge (new) used in the title... too cliche or something. There are lots of other, more creative ways to express it. Nice picture but a bit too much haze in the background, mutes the rich colors of the canyon. I like the way the trees frame the photo, but think I would have cropped the sky out above the rocks.

How to get an interesting picture of a construction site... not a bad job. the photo almost looks like it belongs in a magazine... an ad or something.

Splurge!

I like this lots... right down to the red toenails for a spot of color in the picture. This is the best of the "new shoes" pictures in the challenge. You should sell it for advertizing.

I like this photo, although I really don't like to see the challenge name (new) used in the title... too cliche. Get out your thesaurus and crank up your imagination. Photo is really great.

I don't like to see the name of the challenge (new) used in the title... too cliche or something. There are lots of other, more creative ways to express it. Kind of depressing... when I drive through cities and see row after row of new homes all with the same lines, that look like the same floor plans, I'm glad I live in the country in an order home when there was more "uinqueness" built into each house. This photo gives me a feeling of claustrophobia.
