I would actually zoom out a bit more to showcase the entire product.

When Only Diamonds Will Do

I like the way you composed this. However, something about the jewelry doesn't quite appeal as much as it's meant to. Maybe it needs to be polished so it sparkles? Or maybe all of Tiffany & Co. needs to be in focus -- a company would not put half its name out of focus for a catalogue.

Circle of Light

I like your original take on the "circle" idea. I would have given you a high score because I think your entry is creative. That said, I think a lot of people might dismiss the idea. Since the average voter (including me, depending on the challenge) might only spend a limited amount of time on each picture (probably a couple of seconds!), an image that doesn't immediately connect with the challenge topic might get voted down a lot.

I read somewhere that voters here tend to prefer images that are simple over images that are busy, because when you are flipping through hundreds of pictures, you are going to stop only at the eye-catchers. So if the focal point of interest is not immediately obvious, voters might use their 4s and 5s to vote "next!" The darkened leaves by the trunk and by the are also distracting -- the overall composition might flow better without them.

Professional acrobat? No, ... but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!

I love how you managed to capture the sun reflection with a slow exposure. That makes it an interesting picture even for people who are not necessarily interested in the car itself.

Service Without a Smile

I think the contrast has been set too high in this image. The man's face in the foreground doesn't look right. It should either look darkened on purpose, or be light enough to keep his features recognizable. Still, it's an unusual image compared to all the others, and to me that's at least a 5.

Blue of the Red sea

I like this shot, but I would add a focal point of interest. Right now I'm not sure whether it's supposed to be the round object towards the bottom, the coral sprouting from it, or the scattered fish.
