Looks like a painting! This is so simple and creative. Would look nice framed on a wall.

Take Off

This is perfect to me. The arrows in the road, combined with the angle make the shot unique and eye catching. They literally tell my eyes where to go. Definitely a 10 and nothing less! I also really like the high contrast and lack of distraction. Everything that's here should be here, which is something I learn from images like this.

Busy Bee

Nice color combination with the three colors purple, green, and yellow-orange. For me, this would be much more effective if either the bee were in focus or if the entire image were motion blur. Having the flowers in focus and nothing else feels more accidental to me that if it were the other way around. I really like how you've succeeded in framing the bee with the flowers.

Friday Afternoon Rush Hour

This is really wonderful! It feels like these cars are in the middle of an explosion. It's effective (and hard to figure out!) that the clouds are so still with all that other motion going on. I'm curious about what all the explosive pink is... trees in bloom or smoke?

The Tao of Flight

Great capture, especially with the legs stretched out as they are. I'd like to see more contrast, though. For me, this is a little too flat, but I think with some post-processing to darken the blacks and lighten the whites, this would've done much better because it is such a great capture. I really like the simplicity of the scene, with just the bird, the water, and the bird's shadow.

This is a nice image. I'm drawn to the person's hat ... really good focal point with that little tassle on top!

A Desolate Place: The Heart

What a moving, emotional shot! I loved this so much during voting - was sure it would take a ribbon, but you're close. Hope you get out of your comfort zone more often with these challenge entries, Sandy. You did a great job! The muted colors, the black clothes, and the perfect lighting are what strike me most about this image.

Such a beatiful little girl! Your way with b&w is stunning. You've got just the right amount of contrast, just to the point where if it went more, it would be too much. I love it!
