I like the flower and reflection, but am unsure what to make of the green line on the right. I'm just not sure how its inclusion strengthens the image. The spot lighting on the flower is awesome though.

Spirit in the sky

I think I'd like this better if the colors were adjusted to make the clouds whiter. The off-yellow coloring doesn't mesh as well with the blue bottle imho. It's also a bit hard to tell how the lighting is crucial to the image - perhaps if the bottle was more noticeably backlit.

Reluctant To Wake

I like the border if used for a print. However, here it dominates the image. It makes it too difficult to focus on the actual picture, imho. That said, the picture of the child looks very good, I just wish there was more of it and less of the border. Composition and lighting of the actual image is done well.

Some tonal adjustments to make the image slightly warmer might better emphasize the sun light (for this challenge), but I like it the way it is too.

The textures on the wall and corn really make this shot (emphasized by the lighting, of course). I'm not sure I'm sold on the vertical crop, but it does work nicely.

Looks a little overprocessed to me, but still compelling.

Fun with Flash

I'm gonna guess this isn't scoring well, but I think its a really good shot. The lighting is an important element in this shot because it provides the contrast that sets this apart from an ordinary wedding type shot. The focus on the bride is excellent, and the fisheye look makes the shot more dynamic. I would have cropped out the flash reflection on the left though. I don't think its necessary in order the meet the challenge, but feel it detracts attention from the bride. Keep taking these kind of shots though, this definitely tells a story and does so in an artistic fashion.

Simple concept, decent execution. There seems to be some highlights lost in the lamp bulb, but the contrasts are nice.

Looks a little soft, which isn't bad, but it seems to be lacking some detail, possibly due to over processing. I like the colors and the silhouette though.
