Subtle. Pretty. Nice colors and lines. I like the single 'flower'. Nice shot.

Beautiful picture. Even if it is a common subject for this challenge it's one of the best. I would have cropped a little off the bottom, the first (out of focus / closest) ring draws too much of my attention.

Beautiful. Nice soft feel, like ripples of water.

Farms Rust to Dust

This photo is too busy. Some elements are in silhouette, others are lighted. There are a lot of individual objects which attempt to capture our attention. The lines of the objects lead the eye in many different directions. It's interesting, but too chaotic to be successful. Good luck on future challenges, you seem to have good technique, but need to work on your composition.

This is going to sound harsh, but if you'd spent as much time on the focus as you did on the borderyou could have had and interesting subject. Use a tripod if you have trouble with focus. I would also have included the entire can, not just he greased lip. Whatever the red things are along the top are very distracting as well. Better luck next time.

Great detail. I would like to see the entire ring of keys, the cropping is too tight, or the depth of field should be smaller if you want to focus only on one or two.

Cute! I like the depth of field. Too bad you couldn't get rid of the building in the background all together, nice try though. The lighting is very good, reating perfect shadows. Good timing on that.

I don't like that the bottom of the glass is cropped off, perhaps a lower angle would have worked better. The black background is a good choice and I like the color combination. Nice shot, overall.

I would have used a larger aperture to get more of the photo in focus. The gun should have just as much weight as his eyes, imho. Excellent idea and cropping.
