Bleak, which was sometimes the case. Nice framing.

This is a very nice picture, but it does have a child in it. Man, I don't know how to vote. I like the picture, so I'm going to steer right down the middle.

There are a few this week of a swing near a tree, but this is my favorite. The contrast is beautiful, and the composition is great. If it weren't for the swing, the tree would be a little too centered for my test -- but as you've framed it, it's wonderful. I would have given this a 10 if the ropes under the swing had been cut a bit shorter.

The Swing

Gorgeous tree, comfy swing. :) The picture is a tad granulated, and for me it would be a stronger image if the focus were soft instead.

Independence!

Super-dooper colors. This is a nice product shot that would have had me WANTING this bike.

The most striking thing about this picture is the vivid blue of the palm trees. It wouldn't suit the challenge, I think, but I'd like to see just those trees -- right as they are -- in the sand without the other items. Just tan, blue, black.

There's another shot in this challenge similar in style, but different in color. I like this shot and the strong blue. I counted off a bit for the color bleed in the rocks near the middle and top.

I think this would be strong if the belt were an obvious man's belt. Maybe a bigger buckle ... and then, if it were coiled in a manner more consistent with hitting.

Wow, looks like a peach! Cool coloring, but I don't care for the posterized effect.
