8 - Very nice. Good vivid coloring and the texture capture and detail is good. Difficult, but perhaps the focal point(s) adjusted slightly, don't know how, just like to see those 'bristles' more defined. Not sure what this is, will be back PC to see. The only two things in my opinion which detract from this shot, but both fairly minor, are the slightly 'blown' area middle left and the line/curve of the petal/frond/whatever bottom left. Also fairly minor but a more finely tuned cropped may have also made this even better, in my opinion. Nice title.

8 - Nice colors and composition. More detail/texture discernible in the wood make this even better in my opinion, especially for this Challenge. Perhaps a little more at the top included (if you had it of course), but not sure, 'works' as is.

8 - Nice texture capture and shot. Depending, of course, what you had to work with, quality and frame wise, more included and taking advantage of the 720 pixel allowance likely made this even better in my opinion. A more finely tuned crop at the top also. The beginning of the reflection looks like good potential, but perhaps more apt for another shot/Challenge. Not sure on the frame, but minor.

8 - Wow. Although it likely gives it a required context/perspective, a finer cropping, especially bottom right, likely make this even better in my opinion. Perhaps (depending what is there/you had to work with) a little more width too, not sure, perhaps just a different shot then, if that makes sense. Sure this looks great wall size and this size doesn't do the detail you've captured justice.

8 - Very good. Although the blue in the background both complements this and helps 'bring it out', some sort of variation (or elimination perhaps) of it (the blue), make this even better in my opinion, not sure what to suggest though. Like the angle and the macro.

4 - Good concept. Gamma/something issues. Frame detracts at this size in my opinion. Depending what you had to work with, a variation in composition (more up the top - where the best focus is) may have made this better in my opinion.

7 - Nice concept and composition. Perhaps a tweaking of the 'lighting', the little bit of 'fluff' removed and a little sharper, make this even better in my opinion.

Wrought Iron

5 - Like the concept and composition, colors are nice. To me, the strongest textures captured here are the orchid petals and the wall behind the iron - so your title draws attention away from the strongest textures, in my opinion. A more finely tuned crop would have also made this better in my opinion. Minor, but the iris is barely discernible at the bottom and looks like it may be in a glass container, but can't quite make it out. With all the textures available here, perhaps reducing the focus to just one or two, may have made this a stronger image in my opinion, especially for this Challenge. The lighting is nice.

7 - Oh, very nice. Angle, composition and color(s), very nice. For this Challenge though.. really wish the texture was stronger.

7 - Good texture capture and abstract. Looks like good control of the whites. A more finely tuned crop make this even better in my opinion.
