Nicely lit -- you obviously spent some time setting this up.

Compositionally and technically beautiful, but it's a little bit of a stretch for the topic. No points off for that, tho. Nicely done.

outstanding! I really like the lighting, the DOF. Nicely sharp without over-doing the cast-iron texture.

The Power to Change the World

Pretty picture, but unfortunately, the hightlight on the globe is blown out pretty dramatically. This is, granted, incredibly picky... it seems that the back of the hand is every-so-slightly soft: this can be improved in 2 ways -- smaller apeture or position the camera further away and use zoom.

BULL

Comment:
cropping out the base of the statue give it an un-balanced feel: perhaps just a touch more would give some sense of grounding -- otherwise, it looks like the bull could be floating through the trees.

Fire Power

Match pistol. I used to shoot rifles competitively. I was exepecting to see a ton of firearms in this challenge, but not so many. I guess there is some courage in putting up a possibly controversial subject. The only technical comment is that I'd like to see a softer, more even shadow: it draws attention away from the subject. The crop is a little tight too.

Big wheel spinning

Very nice! I'm an aficianado of time-lapse shots of carnivals (small group, eh?) and you've really caught the motion nicely. Did you use a tripod? Nitpicking, but it seems like some things are nicely sharp (the checkered canopy) but other things aren't so sharp (the mini-indy sign). Perhaps different USM settings would yield more uniform sharpness?
