The frame is too dominant for the delicate nature of the bristles, which are the main 'subject' here - in my opinion.

On the Way Down

6 - Nice texture capture. Colors are nice too. Wonder about a variation in composition/crop.

Good texture find, but it is blurry. Like the composition.

Does look like the bug is boxing in this and the other image. The top of this image dominates too much and distracts from the little 'scene'. If the quality was there, perhaps a much tighter crop - roughly a third of the way down, to just below the blown white area of the petal, may help. The resulting squareish crop may benefit as well. Tweaking in pp to bring out some more detail may also have helped enhance what you have captured.

In response to your request. I'm curious to see the original. If you would share some of your pp would be good too. Also, some insight into your 'vision' for this image; scene, 'feel', colors, etc.

As is, the combination of the curvature of the horizon, the shoreline and the angle/perspective you have taken this image from, makes the image seem off balance, or 'skewed', in a sense. The colors seem a little washed out and, as mentioned below (I don't usually read others' comments before making my own, but did this time), the pp seems to have diminished those colors and, in my opinion, also the textures and detail - which I do wish to see.

Another reason to see the original was to see if perhaps more could be included for added compositional balance.

I like the shape and patterns of the water (seemingly) gently coming in at the foreshore on the right and the other few elements that seem there, but not 'enhanced' (such as the wood/sticks). I wonder what those little things at the edge and in the water are.. Aside from the (tiny) sign visible on the right and the (seeming) footsteps in the sand, looks like quite an untouched scene.

Long Train Runnin'

Like the way you have brought out the colors in the train, creates 'segments'. Your call of course, but I wonder whether the distant something far right and the greenery edging on the track cropped out, may have made this an even stronger image. Like to have seen the perspective a bit stronger for this Challenge too, 'somehow'.

7 - Nice unique image. Wish the focus was a little sharper in the fore as well.

Boom!

8 - Nice capture. Wish I could see more of the details that are likely there 'wall sized'. Some good elements here. The color of the lighting on the boats seems a little dull in contrast to the rest of the image, however, again, especially larger, may well add to it.
