Overall Score: (5.28 rounded to 5)

Sorry to be harsh on the score. I think there is a bit too much water here. I am wondering what this would have looked like a little wider angle. The composition is good. For some reason it looks a bit Pixilated.

This is a potentially good abstract image. It is so grainy, though, that it's distracting. Did you use digital zoom? That may be why. Try taking a large-sized image further away, and crop it smaller. Good luck! :)

A very fluid shot. Cool colors. The grainyness of the photo lends a certain 1970\'s documentary feel to it. Very nice.

Comment by HBunch:
there is definately motion here. The photo seems grainy to me. Otherwise, I like the anlge and framing/cropping you have chosen, and the motion is very clear and obvious. Lighting conditions seem ok for the shot. Good luck in the challenge.

It seems like your camera is a bit low end and you did some despeckle on it. I don't mind that, it creates a kind of watercolour effect that I like :). The composition of this photo is spot on, in my opinion. I can't get enough of rusty girders and bits of old machinery, as long as they're arranged in an interesting way. The bird is a great touch... juxtaposing nature against artifice. I like it :). Lots of flair, even if the photo is technically flawed.

Wow! Great texture of the water, it makes it look like some liquid metal. Colors are great. I think it would've benefit from some noise reduction. Good luck!

Ooops, I completely missed the bird the first time around! The structure itself is interesting I think, but it is really grainy to me. Did you use digital zoom or crop it from a larger pic? Or did you intend it to be that way? I'm not sure, but converting it to black and white might help some since the sky is so white and the colors are almost monotone anyway.

Kinda grainy, possibly you might want to consider turning off your digital zoom, too (I need to as well!) Sharpness is pretty good, esp. considering the grain, so you have a steady hand. Interest, for me is on the lower side. Sorry, 5 Swash
