One of the more unusual shots in the challenge in that it doesn't involve a sunset or a bug macro, but this image really appeals to me. I think it the contrast between the clarity of the horse and rider compared to the smoky haze of dust in the distance. A really nice shot.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

There are two almost identical shots of this location in this challenge, but I rate yours more highly. The colours and processing on your shot feel so much more natural (I was there myself last year on my honeymoon). I also prefer that your vantage point and framing excludes the sky, helping the viewer to focus on the horseshoe itself.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Lots of starry night skies in this challenge but I love the duo-tone effect of this image. The stars stand out beautifully from the sky, and the water looks so tranquil. Nice shot.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Lots of nighttime cityscapes in this challenger, but this is one of my favourites... the light trails on the water add a little extra dimension. The place loks really vibrant and exciting. Nice shot.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Lots of flower close-ups in this challenge, but this is one of my favourites. The black and white finish really helps the viewer focus on the form of the image, and personally I love the wispy ethereal feal to the image. Lovely shot!

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Nice motion blur on the water, but the bridge is nice and crisp and sharp. It almost looks like the garden in France that Monet used to paint many of his famous impressionist scenes of. So tranquil and relaxing, you've captured the scene so beautifully.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Fantastic action shot, and a brilliant viewpoint and perspective. The expression on the face of the player is also really good, with his eyes firmly locked on the position of the shuttlecock. Great photo!

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Lots of sunset images in this challenge, but I like the really simplistic approach to the composition in this one. The colours look more natural too as opposed to some of the other shots where the colours have been pushed very far forward. One thing I think letting it down slightly is the apparent tilt on the horizon which I find slightly distracting. Nonetheless, a very nice image.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Lots and lots of images in this challenge can be grouped, bug macros, sunsets, mountains, lakes, birds, big cats. This shot however stands alone and it really offers something different from the norm. I don't know the technicalities of taking this shot, but I feel that it is let down slightly by a lack of clarity in some areas. Nonetheless, an interesting image.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

There are some very good bug shots in this challege, and this is one of them. I have scored one or two a little higher than this though. There seems to be quite a bit of noise in this image which is stopping me from rating it any higher as it's slightly distracting. However, it's still a really nice shot, with focus in just the right place.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.
