Dining Out

6 - Nice cropping/symmetry/composition. Criticism; could be a result of too tight a crop/zoom, but the quality seems to have degraded here, and is one of the first things that I noticed (or could just be blur/focal issues), so perhaps more zoom out (depending what you had to work with) to try to achieve that 'quality', may have made this better in my opinion. May also be the result of post processing too, who knows.

6 - Good. Good perspective. Sharper focus on the 'in focus' areas and, depending on angle, trying to either eliminate or 'use' that palm(?) more, may have made this better in my opinion. Looks like the quality has started to degrade here, which may be a result of zoom/cropping too tightly, who knows. Perhaps a variation in cropping or a nudge rotation trying to gain more overall 'balance' as well.

7 - Very nice. Good colors. Obviously you've gone for this specific crop/framing, and it 'works' in my opinion, but I still wonder whether a slightly tighter crop to the center vein, or else of course the 'whole leaf', may have given this more impact, especially for this Challenge. Possibly even just 'as is' but with a fraction more 'empty space' on the left, depending what is there, of course.

8 - Very nice. Good color and texture capture. Difficult, but perhaps slight sharper either overall or on the 'two in the center' and a nudge rotation/crop variation to gain more balance/symmetry, may have made this even better in my opinion. Seems a 'reflection issue' top left, but minor.

7 - Very nice. Criticism; difficult, not much, but this just seems it needs something extra to 'lift it', especially here at this size, so perhaps more height may have helped, depending what you had of course to work with, not sure. Maybe even, a frame in this case, who knows.

7 - Good idea, nice colors, good pattern. Criticism; perhaps a crop variation or more 'width' may have given this a little extra in my opinion, not sure.

7 - Nice. Toning is good. Criticism; crop variation, to 'cut' that bottom right 'dark' area would have made this better in my opinion.

Comment:
7 - Nice colors and 'capture'. Criticism; difficult, but perhaps a slight variation in 'composition'/ cropping and possibly even framing, may have enhanced the pattern more and made this even better in my opinion, not sure. Your 'call' anyway, obviously. Good subject choice.

7 - Nice macro and colors. Good detail. Criticism; not much, perhaps the angle/crop/rotation, not sure.

6 - Interesting. Looks like an unusual perspective, whatever it is. Back PC to see what this is. Criticism; 640 width would have given this a little extra. Depending on opportunity, a slight focus adjustment to try to exclude that branch/whatever in the 'background' on the left, may have enhanced the pattern effect in this shot and given it more impact in my opinion.
