A Pythagoras or a Freud?

Yet another photo that probably suffered from people just not "getting" it. I think that it could be cropped a little tighter and probably lit better. The shadows seem really dark. The little guy is really cute. He is very centered which doesn't usually work but, since there are three potential subjects in the photo, it works ok here. Interesting shot that makes you think but doesn't really have the "wow" factor needed for high scores around here. Creative take on the challenge. Good photography skill. I think you could have come up with other interesting settings for the same little subject - putting him in the foreground and using shallow DOF - that could have probably scored higher.

I think that this photo might need more of an explanation as I'm pretty sure that a lot of people look at this and think "what the...??". I don't really understand what you were trying to create.
I think that the person shouldn't be so close to the edge of the frame. It feels like he(?) is sort of squished in. Also, having just that little bit of rock along the right side is bothersome - needs to have either more or less. The colors are really bright. Did you increase saturation any? It adds to the "weird" mood of the shot. Really a tough lighting situation that you seem to have handled fairly well.

Building is too centered but I like the black and white. Strong winter image. 8

Gorgeous color. Foreground and sky blend so well. Horizon could be a little less centered. 9

Very nice view. Seems rather hazy - maybe different lighting and/or more saturation could help. 8

Beautiful horizon. Mill is a tad too close to the fram edge. 10
