Evidence of Natural Selection

OK, Darwin, here you go:
you would have done much better if you didn't hold the fossil in your hand. You have seriously blown highlights near your little finger, and I don't believe that it was intentional. Maybe placing the subject in some sort of natural environment would have been better? This way the hand takes too much of an attention from the main subject - the fossil imprint. 5.

Slightly Damaged - May Leak

I think that you should have focused more on that crack in the door. This way it looks like a perfectly good washer sitting on the side of the road, just delivered on the pallete to someone's home.

Resting in pieces

A very nice collection of EU coins! It took me a second or two to realize that Euro had replaced all these...
Nice lighting, good composition and nice DOF. 8.

Out to Pasture

Comment:
Very nice photo. Technically, it could have been better (IMO) if you did not have that lens flare at the bottom, and if you did not blown up the sky (upper right) and the ground (lower right corner)
Nice non-standart perspective. Another suggestion (although I am not sure what was to the right) would be to add more negative space to the right instead of cutting it off like this.

Four Centuries of Abandonment
by SCI 009

Comment:
Only four centuries? I would have imagined much more than that... but maybe I've mistaken the location.
In any case, the border could have been thinner, and the whole image is on a softer side than usually required for such landscapes. 5.

Rusting Away

Comment:
Nice photo. I'd love to see it with slight desaturation, not completely b&w but just with less colour to it. Nice composition, with the space on the right giving the impression of the time stopped for this vehicle, and the remoteness of evrything else. 8.

The Gory End of a Feral Pigeon

Comment:
Lighting could have been better on this one. The shade would be good to accentuate death, but the streaks of sunlight spoil the image. Not sure about meeting the challenge, though. Yes, title indicates usefulness but who read the title with a such powerful image? 5

"Analogue"
by briphoto

Comment:
I actually like the grainness in this photo - it may not do very well in general, but it seems perfect choice for this challenge.
Composition is good, as everything in this image is obsolete. However, the total effect is of lacking focal point, main object. That's where you could have done better. 7.

I wish this was Beer!

My pick for a blue! The only imperfection that caused a 9 instead of 10 was the blown reflection off the faucet. There is also something unreal about the water coming out that I could not put my finger on, probably there is a tube that is feeding the faucet with the water and the amount of water is not sufficient to cover it.
Also, there is a halo around the faucet from oversharpening. All this and still a 9 - that's how strong effect this had on me. Good luck!

Is this from a Capital ONE commercial? Looks good.
