Nicely seen - good work. I think basic editing allows to use curves adjustment layer and probably it is possible to make different triangles more prominent here. Monochrome seems like right choice for the subject, but bluish color I feel is not the best choice. Hard to say though :)

Triangular Sail
by andpolitis

Comment:
I consider this one of the most successful in the challenge - nicey done. I see few triangles including one that is brightest part of the sky framed by the mountains below and darker sky above. However, have suggestions. Stick on right end of the boat distracts. I tried cropping and feel this image will rather gain if cropped from right about 30 pixels. It will cut boat, but looks fine to me. Then cropping half of the sky. This will concentrate attention to your main point of interest - sail and boat, but also will create diagonal with the sky triangle I mentioned. For the future - if at all possible to position camera higher, it would make water as a background for these poles with fishing net - right now they "contact" the other side of the bay with similar color. But, ... consider all above just compliments to very good work :) Hope to see this very high in results.

Fragile Beauty
by JPR

Comment:
Very nice image - I like soft palette and gradual change of color from green on the bottom to whatever on the top. Agree this thin/tenuous grass (not sure - is it because there are only few of them, or "contrasting" their structure to blurry backgound, or whatever else) creates impression of fragility. Thinking what can make this image stronger, I think cropping right part (quarter or up to third of the image) can help focus only on these 2-3 stems, will make lines closer to be diagonal and create more dynamic to the image. There still be enough bokeh in the image if that is a concern :) Good work!

I don't know what is this and how is this produced. And I don't really care! Because this is beautiful!

Just a little color

Nice dynamic coposition - diagonal position helps that. Not that much of bokeh per my understanding of it.

After the Rain

Attractive and interesting composition - to certain degree unusual. I have a feeling that exposure one stop lower would have better to show both pear and background - don't think it would have ruined bowl.

Symphony of Light

Comment:
I love these small buds and "hair" backlighted, and very much colors of them matching with background and bokeh there - I think those areas are strong part of the image. But I don't like green leaves - their color is so distracting from the beauty of other parts in the image - even though I understand it is what nature created. I don't like even big flower. I think if you have focused on buds and background, opportunities to make exceptional artwork were better. This is the case when people say "you show what nature created" but you can "create your own". Sorry for "intrusion" :)

Very nice simple composition - simplicity I thik is strong part of it. Would have been stronger if glass jar/bottle was against darker background to make more accent on it's color and diffrentiate from background more. Bokeh as I understand it is not strong. Good work.

All sales comes to those who wait...Welcome to Africa

Comment:
Unlike many other entries where word "waiting" is attached to image that otherwise has nothing to do with waiting, this one really conveys "waiting". Composition is good and from many aspects this is good photojournalistic or travel shot, but it's hard to predict how high it will go.

Shadows on the Windowshade
by MaryO

Comment:
I wish there was something more in this image to make it more dramatic. Maybe someone/some face on this side so that it is more explicit that hand "wants to grab" something. Or maybe shadow on the other side. I think if shadow of the hand was little bit more blurry (farther toward tree) would be better too (but that is more questionable :). And light visible on left upper corener is distracting. All that said, I very much like idea, and execution too. It's a great image - I just think you can make even better :)
