Fantastic use of light and composition. This is a wonderful picture.

Water Bird

Comment:
Fantastic. Lighting is excellent and the composition perfect. Only areas of improvement (which you are somewhat limited to adjust due to the basic rules) would be the light spot in the middle of the background and the almost blue halo around the top of the bird. As a whole this image is very clean and unique. High marks from me.

Sea Mist

Obviously meets the challenge no question about that. I like the effect of the fog but at the same time I wish the subject was a little more focused just because it is a little lost in the vastness of the entire image. I think for this challenge I understand why you chose to make the subject so small – but I think you could have cropped a bit of the sky out (while still maintaining the off center composition) and you would have still met the challenge while making the subject just that little bit bigger.

Wall Flower

Colours and focus are good. I would suggest trying this shot without the stems and leaves, as I don’t think they add to the picture and because the colours of the walls and the flower are so close I actually find the green bits a little distracting.

Little duck
by TedvandenBergh

Comment:
Nice composition, the water is wonderfully smooth and I like how you have captured the duck coming towards you – that doesn’t happen often. As a suggestion, a slightly lower viewpoint of the duck, while still capturing the weeds behind him would have made this photo stand out even more.

Car

I think the composition of this photo has some real potential. I would suggest a slightly different crop to allow the image to flow and to further draw attention to the car. From the bottom I would crop up to the point in the curved sidewalk where it veers off to the right. Then from the right I would crop in until the little piece of sidewalk that’s goes to the right is cropped. This will allow the curve of the road to lead your eye to the car, without any distraction. Also it removes almost the entire first tree leaving you with the rest of the tress that look soft and green. From a technical standpoint I would also try to have the main subject (car) a little sharper the focus is a little weak.

Photo meets the challenge and the idea is good. From a technical standpoint the lighting needs some work. I realize it's very hard to make a white background "white" especially under the basic rules, but when attempting this type of shot you really need to nail the lighting as it makes or breaks the photo. I obviously don’t know your setup but I have found when doing white shots a light source at the front, as well a. at the back of the background helps make the white brighter. You could also try it outside in daylight (noon) – the poor mans light studio.

Totally different, I love it. Only one thing I would have liked to change and that would be the background on the right side with the lines. Other then that I think this is a funky, original shot!

Very nice, almost a “strong girl” glamour shot if there is such a thing. The only thing I can think to suggest improvement on is that her arms look a bit too soft and lack detail – makes them look airbrushed. That’s a minor thing to mention though because the image really is fantastic.

Excellent focus! The cat’s head is perfect. It’s unfortunate that he blends so well into the background. If the background had been a different colour, I think the cat would have looked real enough to pet.
