Some images lack the wow factor - yours reeks of it! I have no suggestions on what you could do any better.

Exceptional. Emotional. Evocative. Perfect exposure and focal point. It's already a 10 - move your camera a tiny bit to the right - it becomes an 11!

The title needs less fact and more imagination.

There's a bus to a town called "Ribbonsville" - you are seated in the front seat..

How do you spell ribbon? If you don't know - you'd better practice as this image is headed for topsville. I'm in total awe - so I'll just shut up and enjoy your moment for a while....

I love flowers. I love perfection. I truly love this image! You are a very brave person to enter a flower into this challenge - there are (my guess) at least 40 or 50 "others." But - this is heads and shoulders above the pack. I hope you get by the "I hate flowers" crowd and win a ribbon as you really should. I normally try to give a suggestion to improve an image..... but.. there is absolutely nothing that comes to mind.

With almost 400 entries, it would be hard to pick out a single photographer - unless that person had an incredible and unique style. But I expect that is the case - another stunning image from Iceland! There are not enough adjectives to describe the emotions this image invokes. It's a 10 now.. remove the border and it's an 11. (If you are not from Iceland - my sincere congratulations on being able to shoot in the same way she does.)

You have a nice, pleasant green and hazy area - but I'm not sure what else you are telling me.

Incredibly simply yet very artistic and graphic. You could say "extraordinary" even. The clear crisp blue sky is great as is the unusual perespective here. The only problem I have is very easily fixed. Your file size is only 15 KB - so there is some banding in the white in the bottom half. The fix is not compressing the image so much - use as much of your 150 KB limit as you need.

Overall - it's still a stunning and creative work of art.

Oh my. This image shows vision, talent and incredible emotion. The hint of green in the rolled bale adds tremendous credibility. I would normally say the white shirt doesn't work - but with the brighter background..it does.

There's a train to "Ribbonsville" - your destination.

I'll just sit right...here.

My first glance and I knew the title was going to be "Bad Hair Day!" Then I looked and you got me... Nice capture and placement. The green band at the top is a nice compositional element. Catchlight in the eye is great. The only suggestion I have is that I'd like a bit more room in front of the beak.

Emotional and a bit mysterious. The right 1/3 should be cropped though as it really draws attention away from the story.
