Cold-hearted orb, that rules the night....

Excellent lunar detail, nice and sharp. My two cents, this image would do even better if the levels were pushed to get some true white highlights on the surface, to acheive that same look as when you are peering through a telescope. The black levels are ideal, it just lacks the whites for me.
I like this composition and good choice to add the simple frame.
A very good lunar photo to be proud of!

Excellent perspective and lighting. I predict a goat is certainly ending up in the top 10, if not ribbon! Well done, right down to the details of the eyelashes.

Looking Down on a Scarred Landscape

Amazing appearance of the landscape - I'm presuming this was shot out of an aircraft. Extra point for acheiving a harsh look!

Funny AND harsh! Excellent title to go with the image. I like the contrast range in the clouds, from the shadowed clouds left to the bright whites center and right. Well done.

It took me a while to recognize this angle over the spillway - now I see it! Very interesting angle, looks like a wall of smoke coming at the viewer!

Very pleasing colors and good motion blur. I wish the whites of the water were a tad brighter. Good entry!

Harsh Environmets

Interesting entry - certainly harsh! My preference would be to have a sharper depth of field (f/16 for example) in this shot, so more of the infestation is in focus. Good tight crop - it works well to show this harsh environment.

In The Face Of Adversity

Excellent treatment of the clouds - makes for a really good backdrop to the foreground colors and subject of the image. Excellent use of blur to convey the motion of the bus. One of my favorites of the challenge.
