This is a gift that just keeps on giving! The colours are gorgeous, the composition stunning - there's so much to look at and yet none of it competes with or distracts from the rest. The girl looks perfect for this sort of shot, and the focus is great with just the right amount of softness. I didn't vote on this challenge but I hope I would have had the sense to give this a 10 like 41 other voters did. The other voters clearly don't know one end of the camera from the other! (just kidding about the last bit) Seriously though, this is a great photo by any measure, tells a great story.

Except for the mast being chopped off a little great shot - Love how the boat stands out from the shore and sea. Lovely mate.

I like this one - nice tones, good composition, lovely all round. The water looks slightly off though (over-sharpened perhaps). The title fits well!

Looks great and from the kit lens which everyone bags, just show you it's what is behind the camera that counts! The shadow on the pole the reflections and the colour, particularly the blue sky and the colour of the metal make this one.

The texture of the rocks and vines define this - the colour while understated is good, the contrast of the dark in the tunnel and the brightest part of the scene lead the eye in. Looks authentic, old-fashioned. Good one.

Once again convinced me that I want this lens, great shot, colour, composition, everything, I'm going to come back and back to this one.

This is nice, love the contrast in shadow and light and between colours here, the colour of the tower makes the shot, the purple/blue sky comes a close second.

Nice one indeed. I realised it was a plane wing, but wasn't sure whether it was some stunt planes smoke trail. This is very good - love the clean lines and the fit for the challenge. Great when vou can time plane trips with challenges like this one. Shame about the disqual.
