Stunning........The soft colours are brilliant, you have not pushed the colours, but left them subtle which really does work. Composition is spot on here, the leading lines are great, the timing is spot on, the combination of the background colours and the lighting...........Congratulations on a stunning image

Tribute to a soldier. ( Wish you were here )

Very interesting monument.........really good exposure here to get the detail in the monument without overexposing other areas.........

I would have removed the smaller flag (just for the photo) as I don't think it needed the two flags in the image. And I probably would have also moved around a little to change the angle to a little more to the front.

The splash of colour from the larger flag though is really helpful as well.

Norfolk Monument, Dedicated to Mathew Flinders, 1799 - 1999

Not sure that the black and white composition is really suited to this image......as an explorer, maybe seeing the colours of the trees etc would really help the image........
The composition also does not show the best elements of the monument, and the background in black and white shows a lot of distracting elements.

Steinberner's Tomb

Comment:
A front on picture, not centered, but close enough to it to get the negative elements of a centered composition, without the positive aspects of Symmetry. Either offsetting further (and therefore using the path to lead up to the Tomb) or perfectly front on (and using the Symmetry as an element) would have worked better. You currently have all the negatives, without exploiting the positives.

Monuments in Piazza della Signora

Yep, theres a few, and I have no idea what you want me to look at......the composition here does not lead to a main subject.....it seems more of a holiday shot to show people what was there, rather than one taken for a subject.......

A kiwi........I will not hold that against you :) (Sorry, had to)

First, why is the image smaller than allowed.....There is guidance in the forums as to how to maximize the size allowances. It would have helped

Colours are nice, but the crop is tight.

I note you have straightened based on the flagpole, but as a result of the wide angle, the monument is at an angle. It does hurt the image, and is made even more obvious by the partially cropped wall to the right. Being further away, and showing us more of the monument would have helped.........

Lest We Forget : ANZAC Shrine
by hotpasta

Comment:
Interesting........usually called the Shrine of Remembrance though, and never really heard anyone call it the ANZAC Shrine.............
The steps though are a bit dark though, and the curve annoys me, but the lighting on the Shrine is great. I would have had less steps and more shrine, less dark area and more of the subject, but this composition may have worked if there was a little more detail in the steps.......

A Place of Honor. A Place of Valor. A Place of Remembrance

a great place for the challenge, but I am not sure the angle and composition of the image has really used it well.......the tree is just a problem, a black blob in the middle of the image. There is no focal point in the image, the stones at the front are cropped. Focus in on one stone, and have the rest stretching in the distance.......remind us that even though the numbers were huge, each were a person, and each individually should be remembered.........

Wellington Monument, Aldershot

Great colours, interesting Silhouette produced as a result. Colour noise though is a problem in the image, and the centered composition isn't great. I think someone else took a picture of the same memorial

Sunset of Her Life

Depth of field is great here......really works well and makes the image. Pink is nice and makes the image stand out. Haloing though around the monument though does hurt the image.
Use of the rule of thirds does also work really well here with the monument placement. The border does finish off the image quite well also.
