Here are my opinions. Best taken with a few grains of salt.
Jim Davis - After the Rain. The major flaw in this image is the overexposure of the white leaves. Stopped down there'd be a hint of detail, and the greens would be come richer.
Greg Fraser - Water Garden Too. The selective focus, or I should say the shallow depth of field, works very well here. My only complaint is that the insect--or insects--at the top seem an unidentifyable jumble.
Emily L. Ferguson - stairs to city wall, York. The wood steps are in focus, but then get lost in the out-of-focus leaves on both sides. Hard to figure out what the area of interest is supposed to be.
Christopher Strevens - I've had enough fresh air!. Two choices of what to make sharp here, the woman or the sailboat on the horizon. I'd vote for the woman. Is that a trickle of sweat on her cheek?
Dan Mitchell - Fenland Landscape. The panorama initially works, but then you begin to single out elements restomg on the distant horizon. Makes you want to zoom in to get a better view.
Trevor Cunningham - caught. Caught in a time machine? Hey, that was 30 years ago! Time just FLIES, eh? This appeals to me. But I'd give it a tweak to boost the contrast. Just a touch.
Valery Firsov - Alone. Melancholy image. Her being in a sort of spotlight, surrounded by darkness, adds to the overall tone. I'd trim a bit off both sides, though.
