I really like the upper half of this picture but I feel the lower half is somewhat lacking. I think it would be better to crop the lowermost quarter or so off the image. Slightly above the lowest black bush/rock.

Used Many Times

One of my favorite in the challenge so far. Love the composition and the colors. Perhaps it would have been nice if you could have recovered some shadow detail in the tree.
Good luck in the challenge!

What jumps at me first here is that I find the flag to be a bit irritating. Either I'd like to see more of it, e.g. if there had been a slight wind or the flagpole didn't partially conceal the flag, or I'd like to see the flagpole without a flag.
In fact, I think I'd crop the flagpole out of the image as it is, even though I realize that the flagpole is somewhat the main subject here.

Other than that, I like the fall-colors. I do think I would have zoomed slightly in though to frame the shot from slightly to the left of the person on the left and slightly to the right of the people on the right.

I also find the shot to only marginally fit the challenge.

The Pumpkin Patch

It's a fun shot though I'd somewhat like to see the kid's face instead of his back. The editing seems nice and B&W suits it fine.
It doesn't fit the challenge though.

Little House on the Prairie

Comment:
I don't like the halo where the horizon meets the sky - very distracting. Caused by too high radius using unsharp mask or the shadow/highlight tool perhaps?

Other than that it's not too bad. It's perhaps a bit distracting how you've tilted the camera upwards to include more of the sky.

Walk On

In my opinion there's too much of the sky in this shot. Try to crop circa 1/4 of it away and see if it looks any better. I also find the contrast between the white beach and the dark growth to be a bit too much for my taste here.

Ravine & River

Comment:
Such a nice photograph but I find it to be slightly weakened because of the low-contrast B&W effect.
Other than that it does seem to be slightly soft, especially when looking at the cliff and some portions of the cliff and the riverbank seem to be overexposed.
But I quite like the composition.

I took the liberty to do a quick edit in Photoshop:

(Let me know if you want the image removed.)

It's a shame you submitted such a low-resolution version of the image as the photograph itself seems to be quite nice looking.

The lonely bridge
by LalliSig

Comment:
The main fault I see with this image is that the foreground is much too dark and muted for my taste. Perhaps a slight shadow/highlight might have helped here or even a curve.
It also seems a bit soft in places and one can notice sharpening artifacts at the horizon.
There is also a quite distracting red color-cast to the image.

Could have been nice had this not been such an overexposed shot (the sky is particularly distracting) and if you had increased the contrast so the structure would have been in a much much darker shade of grey.
Also, it would most surely have been better had the person in the staircase been located one or two levels lower.
