Neck

This little guy posed very nicely for you! Great focus and love how you can almost feel the feathers on his neck. I'm not sure about the completely centered composition here, but I do like the long portrait orientation. This would be great for the color on color challenges too... he blends in well!

Lost In Celebrations

I'm not really sure what this is, but it seems to have a combination of warm and cool colors, though you focused in on the warm. It looks like it has some interesting textures, and while I'm usually a fan of shallow dof, it may have been neat to see more of the texture here.

Great warm colors here, and I like the way the pier leads out to the lighthouse. I'm not sure if I would have preferred the sun to be completely behind the lighthouse, since it feels a bit off with it only peeking out from one side. Looks like the clouds cooperated here too, giving just a touch of interest to the sky.

Burst of Red

I like the negative space here, and that the stem is out of focus, leaving all of the focus on the red flower. As a whole shot though, I find that there isn't a lot to hold my attention.

Lovely shot, and has an overall warm feel, though I don't know that it was accomplished through the use of color. I like that her arm is extended and her gaze also leads you to the flower she is looking at. I wish her other hand was folded in or something so it wasn't chopped off, and I would have had her fix the shirt to cover up the strap!

The Balloon Man

This doesn't scream warm colors to me, in fact the focus on the balloon and the shadow it casts are cool colors. I think it's hard to take something with so many colors and make it work for either of these particular challenges.

Lovely warm autumn colors... not sure about the horizontal placement in the frame.. perhaps a diagonal composition would be nice?

Warm... yet Chilli

Like that you used a hot item to go with the warm colors, and that the light is in a shape that mimics the pepper. Seems the contrast is a bit too much since there are patches of blown out colors/highlights, especially depending what angle my laptop screen is at.

Ahh, I never tire of reading your adventures in setting up these creative shots. This made me feel better about sitting with a pair of tweezers putting little pieces of thread on a hacked together peep bunny. Thanks for sharing how you found solutions for problems with the setups! And, congrats on a well deserved red! :)
