I like the muted colours and composition. Overall, slightly too much blur for my taste.

I like the bright greens against the dark background balanced by the rocks at the bottom. I do not like the piece of stem on the left with no leaves and feel it would have been a stronger image without that.

Green Heron

I think this shot meets the challenge very well. For the challenge, I know you couldn't spot edit the bark, but now you might want to try darkening some of the brighter highlights on the log to put more emphasis on the bird. For sharpening, you might want to try having the threshold at 0 when doing your unsharp mask. I like your overall composition and the colours are great.

I like the idea and the composition. The lighting does not bring out the potential this has, perhaps something softer or at more of an angle would enhance the "chess pieces" more.

It's What's for Dinner

too rare for me, I like mine more of a medium-well done. :) A fill flash may have helped catch more detail in the animals face and added more interest to the shot.

I like the bright colours on the dark background. I think it may have been more effective to not have the face carved in the tomato.

interesting mix of food and condiments. The overall effect is too busy for my taste and the lighting is very flat.

humourous subject choice. The lighting used does little to enhance the photo, perhaps more of a side light might have added more interesting shadows. The background colour may have been better had it been more opposite rather than so similar in tones to your subject.

Rave a Peel

interesting, but not to my taste. I am not sure what the items in the chicken wire are to represent but if the "character" is the focus, they do detract from it.

although this is a well-taken photo and the color may be a "feast for the eyes" or "food for the soul", I think this is too out of the box to do well. Good luck, anyway!
