Good choice for B&W, and I like the washout effect at the top. 9

Great portrait. Too bad this is only basic editing, as some dodge/burn could have made this even better!

This is a neat approach to the challenge.

The old style of a city center

I really like the colors in this, how each building is different. All the masts and lines in the front make it somewhat busy, which could be reduced if more of the first boat could be seen.

Love the star effect, but the open foreground is a little bland. You could maybe have cropped in on the busier backgroung.

Interesting shot. I'm not a fan of the way her hand is over her one eye, it makes the eye look really dark and off balance IMO. Have it drop down a bit so we can see the white of that eye too. I do like the hair in her face, and the (I'm guessing) threads running through the foreground give it more of a dark feeling, as does the grainy, photocopy-style lines running through it. As far as filter experiments go, I'd say this is a success.

Unusual perspective, but not as captivating as some of the others. THat said, it's still a good, solid shot. :D

The "fire in the sky" effect in this one gets points for coolness, but because of the cooler colors in the smoke, it has less intensity, IMO. Althought the light on the water drop is really neat.

Great capture of the helo. The tilt to it and the stream of water falling add a lot of interest to the composition. Very crisp!
