Claustrophobia

Comment:
Interesting take on the challenge. I like the eyes peering out of the larger matreshka (sp?) doll. The upper half in the foreground helps to clarify what the focal point is; without this it would have taken me longer to identify what I was looking at. The overlap between the doll in the foreground and the one in the back feels somewhat claustrophobic. This may or may not be intentional, but moving the foreground doll to the right would reduce the effect. The pure white background seems a little overbearing; I would have preferred a light shade of grey.

This feels like a snapshot. Correcting the tilted horizon would help to reduce this impression somewhat.

Coimetrophobia- Fear of Cemeteries
by ShotMD

Comment:
This image is pretty evenly divided between the sky and the foreground. I think that the composition would have been stronger if there was more emphasis on one or the other. Given the subject the colors are rather bright and cheery, but not enough to make it feel like an intentional contrast. I'd suggest adding some image grain and dropping the saturation a bit or trying to make the contrast between the happy colors and the sad subject feel more intentional.

The fact that the epitaph is legible on at least the first few tombstones ties the cometary to someplace in the southern U.S. Since the details about this particular cometary aren't relevant to your message about cemeteries in general, you might want to consider obscuring the locale specific details somehow (a wider angle shot, etc.).

The idea isn't bad, but the execution leaves something to be desired. It looks like this was thrown together in a couple of minutes. More purposeful lighting would have really helped here.

This feels more like a snapshot than a challenge entry. Shooting this from a lower angle and with the kid either standing tall in the foreground or running toward the far side of the fence would have improved the image.

The pose and lighting are interesting, but I can't quite tell what's going on here.

The PoV is interesting, but the image lacks a clear focal point.

The sign is fairly well camouflaged in the tree. Since this was an advanced editing challenge masking off the sign and shifting the hue of the tree would have been allowed; doing so would have helped the sign to pop out.

The saturation seems a little overdone. I would have preferred to see more detail in the leaves and grass. The USM / sharpening artifacts are fairly obvious; if you sharpened before you resized then you may want to try resizing first.

This is a nice image, but it's quite a stretch for the current challenge topic.
