I'm sure you've heard this already from others, but IMO there is too much boring foreground, and overall the composition is a bit lacking. However, the lighting in great. 6 from me for the lighting alone.
This is a tough one. I like this image. The lighting is very nice, the composition is well done, and its interesting to look at, if a little grainy (noisy). But its a pretty big shoehorn to enter in this challenge, imho.
Nice sunset (or rise). I would have liked the subject a little sharper though. To be honest, without the title, this picture says anything but hate to me.
Me too. Contrast seems a bit off.. the lighting just did you no favors here I think. However the shade of blue is very lovely, and I really like how that animal does indeed look very alone.
