Focus is a little soft around the edges, and the subject doesn't quite fit the title (except in a roundabout way), but an interesting shot.

Nice try at recreating this winner from a past challenge, you just didn't pull it off nearly at well. A for effort, but the pic is just a 5 from me.

Very creative, and a good interpretation of the challenge.

lol -- looks too set up, but it does get a laugh.

When the Earth Bleeds...

Nothing interesting to look at here, and a poor choice of subject. I'd like to give you some constructive comment, but I can't think of anything to suggest that would improve this.

Dripping Wet.....

Not really meeting the challenge that well here, and the attempt at cheescake would have been better if your subject didn't have her hand in front of her face, and her knee wasn't cut out of the frame on the right. Shooting down at an angle hurt this one too ... try shooting straight across or at just a slight angle up towards the model next time ... the background would have been much better if the camera was lower when you took this shot.

Earth - Seed of Life

Comment:
Good sharpness, and nice color contrast between the rim of the planter and the background, but the dirt and the seed are not a very attractive subject.

From Earth comes Life

The composition kills this one. There's no central point of interest in the frame. True dirt is earth and one of the elements, but that alone is not enough to hold my interest

Air - Keeping our flags blowing

Good idea for a subject, but the reflection of the pole across the flag and the trees in the background ruin this one for me. I like the backwards flying flag .

The colors seem too unnatural, and there's not a lot of visual interest in the composition.
