My pick for yellow - 8
I always wonder how these kind of shots are executed so well with basic editing.. perfect black background, a flower standing on the stem.. I would really love to see a shot of your setup after the challenge is over!

Its tough enough to capture lightning, capturing eight plus one is just brilliant!

One of the better pregnancy shots. Peace sign - Is that a real tattoo? Her expression is beautiful as well!
Meets the challenge : 3/3
Execution : 1/2 [Crop is too tight. Shot is not sharp enough..you can see the motion blur on her lips and hands. It was a great idea to convert it to B&W but its lacking contrast that can really make a difference!]
Originality : 2/2
and everything else : 0/3
total : 6/10

Month 9 = Spring

Great background and warm tones.. flowers in the foreground add just enough to create the perfect mood!

Meets the challenge : 3/3
Execution : 1/2 - Iron railings (main subject of your picture) look a little soft, while it stands out very well with the DOF, on the top the dark background and dark railings are making it lost!
Originality : 2/2
and everything else : 1/3
total : 7/10
