wow, much nicer than your previous shot, composition is great, lighting is good and even the background is beautiful :)

should have scored higher though, many bad images above yours in the challenge..

this is a nice shot, composition is good, could use a wider angle.

the lighting is bad though, the harsh shadows are not helping.

try using a softbox ( white bedsheet ) to soften the light, works great for shots like these.

congrats on your top 25 :)

I'm not a Beatles fan so I don't know this song, but this is a nice image, composition, colors, lighting and postprocessing are all very good.

the nest could use a bit of curves and sharpening, it seems a bit flat.

you'd probably get an 8 from me if I'd voted...

this is a very interesting image, composition is nice, the image is quite busy but that's something you can't help, it's the architects fault ;)

all those leading lines are great, too bad they don't lead to anything except those balls in the center...

the colors are good, and so is postprocessing.

I didn't vote on this but would have given it a 7.

the word desolate is a very lonely one, and this photo i think comes pretty darned near, the fog is a perfect touch to give that feeling and the lamp post is very well presented and, in a great angle, i will give this a high score becouse it is pretty close to what i picture desolate to be.
