Okay, this one really made me stop and stare. Hope it does well.

Wow! What a great moment to capture! Terrific shot. I'm curious about the shot info, so will check back after voting. Hope it does well

Really like the tonal range and transition from the subject to the edge. Hope it does well!

Wow... and I thought rose petals on the bed was romantic :)

Seriously I like this a lot - the focal plane on the lower bug is effective. Perhaps a bit deeper DOF to include the first part of the fiower's center would have been nice. (Yeah, I know... macro DOF is a b***ch.). Hope it does well.

What an interesting shot. I like the combination of different petal states and the way you've composed it overall. I also appreciate that it's vibrant and rich in color without be overly saturated. Very nice... hope it does well in the voting.

Very nice. The mass of white stopped me cold. The (intentional?) way the grays at the bottom blend with the screen's gray background makes it more effective, too.

I really like this overall. The watermelon's a bit over-saturated for my taste, but it sure looks tasty!

Hmm... Urban portraiture? It captures my imagination about who these people are. Hope it does well.

What an unusual perspective. This is a truly original take on a oft-seen cliche. You've managed to take something common (as a subject and as a photographic treatment) and make it new. I'm just clicking through the images in this challenge, but this is tops so far. Can't imagine what would top it for me. Kudos!!!

So simple. The placement of the subjects at the extreme lower border is surprisingly effective. Very nice idea and execution!
