The smoke surely represents trouble somewhere, but boy, does it ever make the sky beautiful with brilliant color.

I like your DOF in this image, the different colors of the wood are beautiful and look very natural, the deep blue backdrop is a great compliment.

The Reverse of Ski Jumping

Comment:
The plant in the foreground doesn't help this image. Cool idea (the spectator included), however, the low lighting and perspective of the ski jump just aren't illustrated well here.

"Hello" to the Mothership, cool image. This would be totally spacin' without the branch silhouettes. Good work meeting the challenge.

Indoor gym shots, tough lighting in my experience, but you've done fairly well here. Meets the challenge in a unique way, only wish the backboard wasn't smeared with "ballprints", where's the maintenance crew when you need 'em ?

Very cool perspective, the composition is appropriate, but the focus could be better on some of the well "titled" rivets.

I love this, I really thought King Kong on a building first, then common sense kicked in. I would like to see this perfectly centered with just a bit more negative space on each side. Good luck with your humorous entry.

Radiance ... is my one word to describe this wonderful image. The muted backdrop is the perfect compliment to the glowing dragonfly and sun-kissed stalks of plant-life. I'd go for a ten except I don't really get a strong impressivion of "from the ground up", this is more "low and straight-on". Good luck, an awesome image like this will still do well IMO. 8
