Lots of little bursts of color in this shot. I like the shallow dof, but it's almost a tad too shallow since the top of the coral isn't quite focused. Great color!

Love the soft ripples in the water compared to the duck. You captured the colors in the reflection too which is nice. Good job!

Ahh, I know that dull grey sky all too well. These balloons work great for the challenge. Good eye and timing to have captured this one!

Great color on this little guy... nice composition with the grasses/leaves being simple yet going in different directions.

A definate "burst of color" being created here. Her neutral clothing and the grey background all help to make the red pop out more. There is something just a bit dark about the overall shot, though I'm not sure how I would have changed it. Nicely done.

A nice soft feel to this flower... the water droplets are a nice addition too. I like the hint of blue in the background.

Done for the Winter

Perfect subject for the challenge. I might have chosen a differnet angle or crop to get rid of more of the closest boat.. the covering seems dull in comparison to the others. Nice job!

As faceless as graffiti.

I like that there is nothing really readable in the graffiti in the background... that could have been distracting trying to see what it said. As it is, you chose a good spot/crop so that the focus stayed on the girl. I also like the little bit of the green sleeve poking out... adds just another little touch of color! Well done.

What an interesting structure... it works great for this challenge. I like the framing of the trees on the sides too.
