There and back again

The processing of this shot really suits it, and the title. Well thought through on the overall presentation.........Crop is good, placement of the elements (roadand chair) are great to make the image.........

Killing Fields

A contrast to the other top images, being a dcarker image that may or may not appeal to the overall voter group. Anyway, I think it is well done. Not easy to get good lighting down in the Catacombs............

"About a Boy" - Nick Hornby

This shot for whatever reason seems to work. Normally, I would say to have the space on the side he is looking, but for some reasoin having it this way creates interest. Normally the chords running through would annoy me, but their location and colour for some reason also seems to work...........A well shot and lit image that seems to bend the normal convention in a way that adds interest.........

Lord of the Flies

Comment:
Without the title, i could have guessed this as Lord of the Flies, which means you have met the challenge exceptionally well. I also love how you set out to create this, while so many others have used it as a free study and shoehorned in.............Composition is really good, I think the cropping of the head adds to the photo. Depth of field works really well also............By far one of the best in the challenge..Good Luck

Greatbeffect on this......for me this photo really works for the challenge, and is quite topical also...........Nice balance acheived to give the ghost look while preserving enough details......the border also seems to balance it as well.......

On the mountain

Juliet asked someone to have a look at this, so I will go through it FWIW - I hope a few others do as well.

I think maybe the crop is a little awkward, and that is what is throwing the sshot out a little. The ccrop given is very square, whereas I think maybe it needed a more landscape crop to it. The two peaks on the right are a little too far to the right, adn there looks litle something is happening on the far left as well. A wider crop would still preserve the great sky here too.

The exposure is great. The range of shades through the sky is a highlight of the shot. from the brights through to the darks, with the black in the foreground of the shot. The green contrasts so well agaist the rest of the naturally almost black and white image. Maybe it is even that the green is a little too far to the right that throws it off a little...........

I love wide visas, and panoramic crops (which are often not liked on this site) so maybe my views won't reflect the widere group, but a more landscape crop would have worked better for me............

Iceberg Melting on a Smooth Wave
by JohannesFrank

Comment:
The iceberg seems to be just slightly off centre.......Cropping a little off the left to bring it onto the third line would have been a stronger composition..........A slightly closer crop also I think would have helped, so we could see some more of the detail in the ice...........

Elemental

With such a simple composition, I think the entire rock needed to be in focus. Also, the light needed to be more even, rather than having a large area in shaddow......

An interesting crop you have chosen for this photo. I like the idea, but a little mort of the lower part of the photo may have worked a little better
