Chive Flower

This picture is too sharp/pixelated. It looks to me like a digital zoom, or trying to stretch a low res picture to be bigger. If possible, try to take teh picture at your camera's highest resolution, then you will have some room to crop, etc. It's composed well, and I like how the flowers are focused, but the background is not.

The lighting seems a little harsh to me, I assume it was a very bright day.

I love the colors in this picture, especially the blue umbrellas against the gray building. If there had been some way to not have the police boat and other boat in there, that would've been nice, but that is obviously not in your control

Two more steps and the people wouldn't be lined up like they are. Interesting expression, and I like how the background is blurry, it forces focus to the front of the picture.

Would it have been possible to get another angle/cropping so that the drink, etc. didn't show?

I like the way you've set the game up in front of the board. it is more interesting than just shooting it "straight on." Maybe more light and a faster shutter speed to clear things up a bit?

Sin Is In

The lighting is almost too bright on the white part of the cubes, and there is a shadow across the bottom corner. I like the way it fills up the frame and is focused at the bottom and not at the top.

Heaven help you ifyou do 10 in a 60 zone!

I am assuming the 09 is 60? I almost missed it because the guardrail and road lead the eyes to the stop sign. Then, they kinda stop on the middle of the page. It looks like a busy road, but if it had been possible to frame it differently, so that the 09 sign was the point of focus, it would have made more impact.

Roll Over

You know, if you had cut the grass really, really really short on the left side, I would have been convinced that this was a real Beetle. You have done an excellent job, in my opinion, of "composing" the background to make the subject seem larger than it is. Great job.

Beautiful. The colors of the lake/tree/sky is very nice, and it looks so peaceful and serene. I know someone has probably mentioned the leaves and twig at the top, so I won't. :-) If it had been possible to position yourself so that the diagonal piece of land in the lower left was more prominent, that may have given the picture a little more "direction." It didn't affect the score because I fully realize that may not have been possible, but it might be something to consider.
