Great shot. My only comment is that there seems to be a green colour cast to everything. White balance off? Would have been nice to see the flipper's face too but I understand that might not be very easy. :) 8

Sacrilege! A very clean, static shot. I think I'd have liked to see some motion in the hammer. Otherwise a good effort. 8

Great motion and atmosphere in this shot. Would love to know how the blurred portions at the sides were done. Colours are a little posterised but that's a big part of the atmosphere. A real winner of a shot. 10

Great subject and composition but seems to be lacking contrast. A little more work would bring out the detail on your subject and enhance the drama. Overall an excellent shot. 8

This is really something. I'd love to know how you took this. It looks like a fast shutter in low light so the ISO must be right up but the picture looks smooth. Perhaps Neat Image earned its keep here? Anyway very very well done getting the shot. Good light and composition with a nice tone to the image. 10

What a great idea! Focus is a little soft in the top left but the white backdrop and the lighting are quite good. Not quite sure why there is so much orange reflected in the grater, though. A good effort that would have scored a 7 from me.

Simplicity

Nice and simple with the house nicely separated from the blackness around it. It's obvious but the biggest problem with this image is the tree that obscures the house. And the fact that it's hard to get rid of the tree doesn't stop it spoiling the image. Perhaps standing to the left and re-shooting would have helped.

This is an excellent scene that tells a real story. This is real photo journalism in the sense that you shot what you saw. The B&W is appropriate and adds to the newspaper feel.

There are a couple of problems with the shot. First of all your main subject is placed too centrally. There's a lot of dead space above the man's head. Also it would have been nice to see the whole scene by including his legs. I suspect that his whole body position showed his frustration and it would have been nice to capture all of it. That would also have framed the shot better.

I recognise, though, that your opportunity to shoot this was limited and you have to go with your instict or lose the moment. Well done on this one. Would have been a 7 or 8 from me.

This is the most "snapshoty" of your images that I've seen so far. There's no real plan or framework to the elements in the image and so my eye hunts around without ever really stopping anywhere. The gulls in the foreground are both over exposed and unsharp due to their motion. The background and waldo are under exposed and muddy.

This is a stunning shot and got lots of useful comments. It's an attractive scene that was enhanced with some sure handed post processing. You got the balance right here. If I have any suggestions for improvement it would be to try and bring back some of the detail in that very orange bush on the right. No other comments. Well done. This is a 9 from me.
