Very tough to concentrate on one part of this shot, with it all being in focus. My eye is lost, not drawn anywhere. It's abit overpowering for me.

Quite simply the best i've seen in the challenge so far.

I think the exposure here is nigh-on perfection. It gives the shot so much atmosphere.Unfortunate subject matter, but all the more engaging.

A fantastic 9 from me.

Wow, that is an impressive shot right there!
Great focus and emphasis on the eyes, the sharp details on the whole face allow you to get lost in there.

Great shot, appropriately titled.
I like this very much, despite having a slightly flat level of contrast, the definition in the subjects eyes manage to compensate by injecting enough impact into the shot. Well cropped aswell.

Very impressive. It's pretty obvious this is going to score highly.
However there are some things i don't like about this, the main being the flat, level horizon running along the center of the composition. If it was slightly lower, or indeed higher it would not feel awkward.
Great capture though, with perfect exposure for the sun from behind the mountain.

Very fresh, very nice.

Nice change rom normal floral shots. I think the subtle pastel colours help, along with the horizontal crop, and the soft focus, to create a nice calm feeling here.

I think the head needs to be looking more towards one side so we can see one of those big eyes nice and clearly.

Oriental Lily

Very nice.
The thing i don't like is the over zealous vignette, i don't think it should be so strong right upto the lily, a more subtle gradient leading upto it would have been better i think.
great shot though.
