risky business

I don't see the advantage of going with this shallow DOF. Especially not using this angle for the photo. I think it would be more successful in a portrait format with the cannon pointng up. Also with a little more room in front of the cannon. Then, put the focus on the cannon thus deemphasizing the focus on the troops.

Small Change ? (a size conflict)

This is a pretty good photo. I'm not seeing the relevance to the challenge. I'm not sure exactly what the conflict here is I guess.

Ice Vs water

I think less exposure would produce a little more mood with this shot. Its just a little too bright. If you sharpened this picture any, it might not have been a good idea. If you didn't then never mind that last statement.

Beautiful bird. Awesome color. Challenge relevant? Not in my eyes. A lovely picture, but more successful with a different challenge.

The Solution
by Mundi

Comment:
The hot spots are just a little hot, especially for the mood of this photo. I think darker is better for portraying the anger shown on this young man's face. The pose is good. The photo should be cropped a little more to make his face more prominent in the picture since it is really the focal point. I think you did well though. 7

Faux Pas

This photo looks like you were shooting thru some kind of haze. Maybe bumping the contrast up just a little would solve that. The crop is a little tight as well.

Conflict Resolution: Rock, Paper, Scissors

I like the theme, but I think its not portrayed as well as it could be. I'm not exactly sure how that would be, but I think there's a better way. As a photo, it looks pretty good.

Dark vs. Light ?

Comment:
This photo is a little bit grainy. The bright parts are just a little to bright. Good theme and it works for this challenge, but this photo is a little bit off.

Apple vs Windows

Not clear enough. This is not a photo that can get away with being soft unless you used some fancy lighting and softened the picture up. As a black and white, I think that goes double. This photo is a good candidate to desaturate all the colors but red. good luck

Good idea, focus is off a little. Not crazy about the choice of backgrounds either.
