Awake!

The light on the mountains is sweet but the focus seems a little soft. Also, the line of the mountains, being in the middle, makes the image rather static.

The hard part here though is where would be the best place for the line of mountains, top or bottom of image. Now this depends on what else was in the scene. It looks like there may be a worn path in the foreground so a lower vantage point using the path as a leading line would work.

If there were some more drama in the sky then exploit the clouds and put the mountains at the bottom.

Fury in the skies

Good colour and diagonals in the sky. There seems to be two competing compositions here. The three main trees above the water line form a nice triangle. Cropping at the water line could exploit that.

The reflection is engaging as well but competes too much with the other trees. Creating a crop with just the two main trees on the right and the reflection I think could work very well.

Eyes on Ewe

You've captured good texture in the fur and in the horns. The focus seems to be a bit off though. The eyes that are clearly visible are slightly out of focus. Closing down the lens a bit would of helped with that but wouldn't bring the background into focus.

Candlelight

Cool pattern. You could have titled this Sunburst to be a little less literal.
It works well centered though the candle is blown out (maybe intended to be).
Good choice of textured background.

Far Reaching

Nice leading line and good detail in the stone. The horizon doesn't have much interest and that is where the line leads to. However, the eye is drawn towards the white spots on the right. The glare on the water is a bit distracting as well.

Good idea to have your subjects off centre. A little fill flash on the faces I think would make the image more engaging. Without it, the faces are pretty much hidden.

This may be a little dark but the grain in the image adds to the mood. I didn't vote in this challenge but probably would have given it a 6.

Turned out kind of cool for unintentional.

Good contrast. Definitely gives a feel of winter and cold.

I like the dreamy feel to this one.
