This is fantastic! The contrast with the blurry moving clouds and absolute still tree is great. I like the central placement of the tree. 9

I voted earlier, but I just have to come back and comment.
This is my favorite photo of the challenge and I sincerely hope it gets the blue ribbon. The contrast between the city and rural area is masterful and its just a fantastic editing job all around. I am trying to figure out how you exposed this so wonderfully that the "rural" is bright enough, but the city not overexposed. Just an awesome job all around.
10 and fav from me

Wow, this is just amazing. I can't believe you captured this. Such a great moment.
I think if you upped the contrast more, this image would really pop!

I don't understand why this scored a sub5. It certainly meets the challenge, and I don't see any major photographic flaws. For what its worth I gave it a 6

Very interesting pattern. I love how most of the boxes are see-through while random others show glare. but I don't know how I feel about the composition. It feels a bit awkward...which granted is mostly the buildings fault, but I think this could have been a much stronger picture with a more thoughtful composition.

I think I might have enjoyed a shot of her actually eating the watermelon better. This seems a bit contrived. That being said, the watermelon portrait is a great idea, and the picture is in focus and very well taken. 6
