A Moderate Majestic Malaise

This has the makings...almost.
Your selective de-sat is right on.
The extra saturation on the yellow, unfortunately, shows up badly on her feet.
A little more room to the left. A more level horizon. Just a bit more (or less) of the plant at the top....
So darn close!

Burning the Midnight Oil

Ho, hum, just another...
NOT!

Love the cat! (A little disturbed that it appears someone dressed the cat, but...one would have to be entirely bored to do so.) Subtle, but effective. I'll bet this works well as a larger piece.

Tedious

Comment:
Pattern in repetition--with the man as exclamation point!
If you could have found the angle to straighten out the top row with the top of the frame--or managed to crop it so, it would be all the more perfect. But, as is, a fine piece of work. Bumping 2 points.

Bored Stiff

Humorous! I think this could be improved, however. A more limited depth of field would have put the focus on your subject. Waiting for the light to strike the face of the monument would have emphasized the letters and, perhaps, made the etching at the top of the monument more evident. It also feels distorted, out of verticle--postprocessing with a perspective correction, or getting farther back with a longer focal length could change that.

Great composition! Muted tones, texture, nice feeling overall to this pic!

Very cryptic! I'm afraid I don't understand your title. This appears to be a board, but I'm not sure how we get to "bored" from here. What happened to your border? It has only 3 sides! If it's me, I apologize for being so dense. If it's you, I hope you achieved what you were trying to.

Rubix Cube
by I Enjoy Ham

Comment:
Games, puzzles and the like are interesting to me. I recall a cousin of mine spending hours fascinated playing with his Rubix cube. So, for me, the subject is not a good fit for the challenge.
The photo itself has interest, however, The limited DOF, the play of colors, the subtle reflections work well. I think perhaps a square crop could add even more as there seems to be no good reason for the extra white space on either side.

Waiting for my new lens wondering if "Postal Service" is an oxymoron

Comment:
Wonder if the lens will be delivered to the box with the smiley on it.... :-)
For me, waiting is filled with anticipation, anxiety, dreams, hopefulness, and the imagining of new and exciting things...hardly boring to my active mind. I feel a little bad saying it on your photo, as there are so many others in this challenge that try to make "waiting" fit in, but I had to say it somewhere. So forgive me, please.
I see a lot of interesting light play on the mailboxes--if you had gotten closer, perhaps you could have featured it. The receding lines provide a graphic quality, but without a true subject they just seem to be "there".

When I'm Bored... I Shoot Cranky Pictures!

Comment:
Beautiful detail! Lighting, decent bokeh, DOF makes a statement...
Your title demonstrates your attempt to leverage the challenge topic--just couldn't get geared up for this one, eh? :-)
(It will be interesting to discover your location in the photo notes. I see that a bolst has been applied to keep the machine from being operated. Historical park, perhaps?)

Numbering Fingers. I know someone who did this.
by Nikolai1024

Comment:
Well....I guess you would have to be bored to do something like this....
These look like the fingers of a guitar player (are those callouses?). But in that case the fingers are numbered incorrectly for the fingering charts. I'd rather see an image of the subject actually applying the numbers. It just doesn't do it for me subject-wise. Sorry.
