This one clearly didn't go over well for this particular challenge, but it's still a great shot - would have got way more than a 5.3 in any other challenge.

If I'd voted on this challenge, this would have been my choice for blue. I really love this image. I've seen it before, but since I stumbled across it again, I thought I should leave a comment. I don't think a photographer really gets to choose their own photographic style - basically they develop a style over time through experience. But if I could choose my own style - I'd like to shoot images like this.

I think this one was worth more than a 6.12. Great shot off any camera.

Though this one is a more minimalistic composition, it still retains the beautiful detail and clarity that all your shots posess. I love the symmetry and repetition. Absolutely striking image.

Such a beautiful scene. I can feel the magic in the moment captured in this photograph - can almost hear all the laughter and merriment. I'd love to visit there on a day like this. I have no idea why the voters aren't being kinder to you in these free studies. You have a really nice style. Keep at it.

Awesome shot. I love the clarity of the water and the fine detail of the foliage, branches and windmill sails.
