Old Weel Barrow

This has a very moody and desolate feel to it, a good choice for the challenge, I think. The image could be improved by bringing more detail out of the shadows - some of the dark parts are just too dark.

The overall mood of stillness is captured well here, but there are some elements that for me make the image less effective. The sky seems to be very noisy (an unavoidable side-effect of the fog?) and in the top part of the sky the highlights are blown. Would also have liked to have a clear view of the barn, without that one shrub blocking it.

I really like the selective focus in this shot.

I like this - a spare and enigmatic image. To me, it expresses quietude.

I like this composition, but the boats seem slightly underexposed. It would be good if the shadows had a bit more detail. I nice, still shot, though.

I like the broad view of the sky in this shot - it emphasizes vastness, which helps with conveying the overall stillness of the composition.

Quiet is Music for the Soul

I think this is a fine shot - the reflections and fog emphasize the stillness. The one detraction for me, and it is a minor one, is the flag pole that juts out in the background. Would be better to have kept the background just all trees and fog, but it is hard to see how you could have recomposed the shot to leave out the flag pole, and I think removing it later in Photoshop probably violates the basic editing rules - I did not discount your score for it.

This is just beautiful - nice composition and bokeh; I get the sense this is the moment just before a breeze lifts it up and way.
