Nice subject matter, but the reflections in the glass are very distracting.

I generally find the "color object in the desaturated background" thing kinda gimmicky, but it works well here. I especially like the color in the reflection. Nicely balanced composition.

I really like this one...visually interesting subject matter, great light, nice composition, and the DOF really makes the chair pop. Good capture!

A Hard Way to Make a Buck

What a great image! Thanks for bringing us this absurd slice of life. I would have liked to see it framed a little higher, with more sky and less ground, to set a larger stage for this melodrama... but fabulous, nonetheless!

You're right, tejinder... too small to make a good critique. I do agree that the pole is a distraction that could be fixed with a little cropping. I also think that the big tree in the middle kinda cuts the picture up in a distracting way. Too bad you didn't have a chainsaw with you, hehe :). Dave

Wow! It actually seems to me as though the person is floating away, held down only by the chains. Nice effect! Great light and good composition.

This picture succeeds where a lot of the other entries didn't in that it captures the action of the subject at precisely the right moment. Great color, fabulous composition, and I love the little puffs of sand!

strangely enough, the first thing that popped into my head was that iconic photo of the soldiers putting the flag up on Iwo Jima... Nice shot.

The lack of an obvious launching point fot the figure creates great tension! It's hard to say what's happening to this guy... is he jumping up, coming down, or being blasted by an angry and vengeful God for some terrible misdeed? I do seem to see some awkward transitioning between the color and b/w areas, especially around the hands, though it's hard to tell at this resolution. Overall, I like it a lot.
