I like this one a lot, and it fits the challenge well. Great colors, good composition. I think it should've scored a little higher.

Shooting Star (All Spiced Up)

I also agree with Rikki. I don't think this scored low because it was abstract or because the voters are "narrowminded". It scored low because it's just not a very appealing image to look at (that's partly subjective and partly not). Somewhere between 4 and 5 seems about right. Even if this was an "Abstract" challenge, I probably would've given it (and/or its negative/original) the same 4 or 5 score.

This is a very nice photo. Great composition. I'd probably give it a 10 if the blue tape wasn't so obvious.

Looking above the edge of Hurricaine Rita

Great colors!! Good placement of the sun. You'll probably lose a lot of points on the crooked horizon, and the border would look better if you used a hard line instead of an anti-aliased one. The clouds look a slight bit soft & noisy, but the foreground is in good focus. A longer exposure to smooth out the water surface would've been cool. The blue sky above the orange sunset helps give it a great feeling of "looking up". Nice job.
