Ice Vs water

I think less exposure would produce a little more mood with this shot. Its just a little too bright. If you sharpened this picture any, it might not have been a good idea. If you didn't then never mind that last statement.

Beautiful bird. Awesome color. Challenge relevant? Not in my eyes. A lovely picture, but more successful with a different challenge.

Conflict of Interest

The shallow DOF in this picture is not helping. I cannot see the advantages to having a shallow DOF here. The lighting is a little flat as well. The piece in the foreground, were it closer, it would warrant a shallow DOF more than this as is.

Beautiful bird. I don't blame you for entering it on the one hand, but on the other hand. On the other hand, you probably are not getting a fair shake with this photo because I can't see how this meets the challenge in any way. Nice color well framed and good catchlight.

The Solution

The hot spots are just a little hot, especially for the mood of this photo. I think darker is better for portraying the anger shown on this young man's face. The pose is good. The photo should be cropped a little more to make his face more prominent in the picture since it is really the focal point. I think you did well though. 7

This photo looks like you were shooting thru some kind of haze. Maybe bumping the contrast up just a little would solve that. The crop is a little tight as well.

I like the theme, but I think its not portrayed as well as it could be. I'm not exactly sure how that would be, but I think there's a better way. As a photo, it looks pretty good.

Dark vs. Light ?

This photo is a little bit grainy. The bright parts are just a little to bright. Good theme and it works for this challenge, but this photo is a little bit off.

Artificial rainbow

I don't often associate rainbows and conflict. Maybe this is some off the wall allusion to the whole gay marriage thing, but I don't see it as a very compelling theme for this challenge.

Apple vs Windows

Not clear enough. This is not a photo that can get away with being soft unless you used some fancy lighting and softened the picture up. As a black and white, I think that goes double. This photo is a good candidate to desaturate all the colors but red. good luck
