I'm not much for flower pics, but this is nice. DOF is just right, composition great, excellent colours, nice and sharp....

Having made some recent attempts at seagull photos, I have an appreciation for this. Nice shot.

Though in a way, I like the inclusion of the foreground, the photo ends up broken in half, and the foreground distracts from the kite flying. The bottom half is much busier than the top. I would consider cropping the bottom third.

Nice, but church and foreground could be a little lighter I think.

I like the composition of this a lot, though if it were possible to back out a little and get the bucket in the shot that might have added something. I'd imagine that would have introduced a bunch of clutter from the background though, so cropping it like this was probably a good choice. Frankly, I think the lighting is terrible in terms of the reflections on the bottom of the arm, and the evidence of the light that has been cropped out in the lower left. The direction of the lighting is pretty good though. The colouring seems a little off, and I'm not sure if that's just because of the nature of the lighting and the fact that it is a night shot, or if has to do with the post processing. I would try it in black and white, as that is an easy way to take care of the strange colour casts you sometimes get in night shots (from sodium vapour lamps or whatever the hell they are).

This is my kind of shot (in fact I think I have some very similar ones), but I think your composition could use a little work. It seems a little cluttered in the lower left, and the tree branch in the lower right is a little distracting.

Steel City on a "CLEAR DAY"

Your highlights seem a little blown out. Nice though. After the challenge I'd like to know where exactly this was shot from. My only day for shooting was Saturday, and it was snowing, so I figured I was better off getting in close than trying something like this, so I went for a five-hour walk down Burlington St.
