Thhis is an excellent macro and i love the backlignting to illuminate the subject. this is also compositionally nice.. the detail in the fruit looks like a sunbrust of sorts. the backlighting also highlights the detail within the fruit... good shot :) - jmsetzler

I like those little orange ones on the bottom :) I have a small garden beside my condo where i cultivate a few assorted hot pepper plants each summer... I grow a few of the golden habaneros, serrano, and cayenne... the assorted and random seeds in this image give me the impression of a firecracker going off... good shot :) = 8 - jmsetzler

excellent shot... i think i can live with the tight framing on this one too :) The glare on the apple is slightly harsh, but overall, this is a great shot :) = 9 - jmsetzler

Keeping the Water Company

This is an excellent candid. This is the position I played... "Bench Guard Tackle". I sat on the bench, guarded the water, and tackled anyone who tried to get it :) Good work... = 8 - jmsetzler

Speed Racer!

very nice! Panning isn't easy... I have tried it a few times myself with minimal luck... This one is also composed very nicely... you left plenty of room on the left side of the frame for your subject to 'move'. Just as a personal preference, I would love to see this one mirrored horizontally so that the child is moving from left to right... good shot :) = 8 - jmsetzler

Gullible Audience

This is a great shot... the color and the capture of the action are both very nice! I love the seagulls, but there are not many that are this friendly where i live (5 hours inland :) I like to feed them when I'm at the beach though.. They are quite friendly and quite hungry most of the time. We used to ride the ferry between Ft. Fisher and Southport, NC each summer. We would load up on bread for this trip because the seagulls would follow the boat and take bits of bread from our hands. As a child, this was quite an experience :) Good shot... = 10 - jmsetzler

Shine Sir ? The Faceless Businessman

This is a good candid and it meets the challenge. Your subject is not particularly 'inspiring' overall... The 'wow' factor is just not here... This photo is also a little too dark... Mabye the flash would help? This challenge required some deep thought for sure :) - 5 - jmsetzler
