Beautiful... this has a sense of foreboding that I really like. The composition is excellent, and the colours are fantastic.

Beautiful - the colours are fantastic, and the composition is excellent. It'd be nice if there was a bit more light on the girl, but that's pretty minor as she is still very clear and the darkness makes a nice contrast with the bright background. I love the colour cast to this. Very nice!

This is very well exposed, and so crisp and clean! I really like the sepia toning; it sets the atmosphere. Good job!

Where does it end?

While this does meet the challenge, this isn't a particularly interesting shot for a couple of reasons. The first is that you can pretty clearly see the surroundings, and there is no suggestion of a never ending bridge, or of isolation - if it were darker around the edges, this would be a more dramatic and therefore more interesting shot. Secondly, the colour is very drab and washed out. A black and white conversion or some colour work would drastically improve the appeal. Good effort, though :)

This is a nice, tranquil setting, and you've done well on the focus. The colour seems just a tad cool, though, and the bleached sky is a little distracting. Was it foggy or gloomy? You might try warming the photo a bit in post processing or re-shooting on a more pleasant day. Nice shot, though - the composition is very good, and the photo meets the challenge well.

Crisp and clear.. excellent colours. This photo feels like it's tilted a bit, but other than that this is some excellent work. Very pretty scene well captured.

Stopham Bridge - 1423

I would have loved to see a bit more highlighting on the bridge and in the water, but this is nonetheless a beautiful scene. I think slightly less saturation might be nice, as the overwhelming brown/sepia makes it feel quite muddy. That said, the details in this really make it - the trees, the slight glow in the sky, the crisp focus on the bridge. Overall very nicely done.

'The Rookery'

Very crisp and clear - love the diagonal line that dominates the photo. Exposure is great, colours are right on, and the focus is sharp throughout. Nice job!

Beautiful shot. This somehow manages to convey warmth of light while still feeling rather cold and gloomy - the water and boats perhaps? Excellent composition, and the deep depth of field works beautifully. I can see people complaining about the slight grain, but I like it.

Old Stone Bridge

The subject is great and the composition is pretty pleasing to the eye; the photo definitely meets the challenge. However, the white balance appears to be off, and the undersaturation doesn't really work - it would be nicer either fully coloured or converted to b&w. For some reason, my eye doesn't like the space to the left of the bridge - it wants to see the bridge go to the edge of the photo. The setting is great, though, and the focus and DOF are excellent.
