Reminds me of my own shot in "bokeh". Anyway, love it, one of the few flower shots in the challenge that "do" something for me. Especially love the sharpness and shallow DOF in it. 8 from me.

Gateway To A Field

I don´t know what it is, but I like this shot. Normally I wouldn´t since this isn´t exactly an interesting place to visit but perhaps it´s the purple tone or the wide open space. Also the infrared does a lot for this image. 8 from me.

Wow! One of the best sunsets in the challenge. Especially love the silhouettes on the birds on the water and the silhouettes of the palm trees. Makes me want to be there :)

The World In Infrared.

Marbo I presume? Like this shot a lot but still not as good as your entry in the last free study. Very good though, just feel that you need some main focal point as my eye wanders all over the frame. Great job though, way better than most shots in the challenge and you got a 7 from me, whoever you are.

Nature's Palette

Easily the best butterfly/flower shot in the challenge IMO. However it´s not very original and frankly I find it a bit boring but I love the saturation, bokeh, sharpness and contrast in this shot, technically it´s very well done. I gave it an 8.

Not a bad capture and I like the composition but the post processing could be better. Specifically IMHO you should increase the contrast and adjust white balance, it seems a little bit too warm and finally sharpen it.

Love in Bloom

Easily the best flower image I have seen so far but I have only gone through about 1/3 of the challenge. Nothing bad I can say about it, technically it´s very well done but I just don´t think it´s very interesting. Just to be clear though I like it.

Very mysterious and this image works. Would not be surprised to see this close to the top as images such as this normally do well but not quite my cup of tea but still very nice, I gave it a 7.

A Break in the Clouds

Pretty cool shot! I guess that this is Chicaco although I have never been there. Anyway, love the colours/contrast/sharpness in this shot and that sky is lovely, a very nice city scape shot and it makes me want to come over for a quick visit in your city. I would however have liked to see more of the right side too, I somewhat feel as if this is only a left part of a photo and you cut half of it away but that is just nitpicking and I love it as it is.

Beauty is in the Eyes of the Beholder

At last something original... I like this shot a lot but still not jaw droppingly awesome. I personally think that the selective desat doesn´t help this image, the same goes for the dull grey backround but all things considered this is pretty cool and I like it, gave it an 8. With a more vivid but out of focus backround and all in colour I would possibly have given this a 10 so great imagination and work on your behalf.
