Nice, but I can´t help but wonder if this wouldn´t have looked spectacular if it had a nice sunset or sunrise behind it. Good effort though, I like the composition.

Life and Death - a Study in Contrast

Too much contrast if you ask me... Anyway, good image but hardly breathtaking either, gave it a 6.

Uhhh, no offense meant Peete but this is just way too similar to your shot in extreme action so I can´t rate this fairly since what I value most in these challenges are anonymity. If this isn´t however a shot by Peete I apologize but I skipped voting on this just for this reason.

Not bad but could have been great if the DOF had been shorter, the backround really blends in with her head.

Awesome! I can´t really put my finger on what it is but I love this image, mainly it´s the texture in the sand though and the contrast/colours. Still not a 10 from me but easily a 9. Good luck in the challenge.

Frozen Beauty

I like it, very serene and calm and the purple colour really complements the shot. Still think it could have been better with a main focus point since there is nothing really that stands out in the shot but I gave it an 8 nonetheless. Good job!

All That Is Left Is The Fading Photos, The Voices Of The Past Have Since Disappeared ...

I am sure you are getting hammered for the "quality" of this shot but I like it, at least enought to give it a 6 and mainly because of the "feel" to it. Good luck in the challenge.

Very nice shot but too oversharpened for my taste. Gave it a 7 nevertheless, I like it.

Fall to Chaos...

Not a bad attempt but there is way too much going on in this frame for my taste, the backround draws too much attention and frankly I had to look for the waterdrop. I would try to keep it more simple next time, IMHO.

Spring Flowers in a Vase

Sorry but not working for me. Wether this effect is due to the fact that you shot it through a window or a photoshop filter (my guess is the filter) I don´t care for it at all. The main reason is that it doesn´t look like a photo but more like an oil painting and while nice looking, doesn´t belong here. Keep in mind that this is just me and my narrow minded opinion, if you like it that´s all that matters really and please just ignore me.
