Pretty. The lighting makes this almost theatrical. the colors as well. adds a nice emotive quality.

Oh...Beautiful. Everything is great here. lighting ,sharpness, composition, editing, colors, even the border. Well done. Good luck in the challenge.

Great sharpness for a water shot. That can be tough to achieve, I like the bokeh too. Overall the shot lacks oomph or a story and anything to really grab onto. But the technicals are fantastic.

Wow. very interesting. Looks like you are up above the ballons. The color of the sky is a bit off putting. I know sunsets and such bring interesting colors but one sort of expects the usual blue and can get thrown off but yellow I guess. The clarity in this is astounding though. Nicely done.

Interesting point of view. It lacks any real oomph for me though and I feel would be better with the black part on the right side cropped off but nice clarity and colors.

Nice take on the challenge. I would prefer if they didn;t get so lost up again that BG though. it seems almost as if the BG is the star and the sprouts(or whatever you call them) are mearly incidental.

I'm not sure what that is. A magnetic toy perhaps. It's cute and the photo is well shot. great crisp white background, the border ties the colors in nicely. My only issue is the size of the dog in the frame. If it were larger in the frame and I didn't have to squint even with my glasses on to make out it's details it would be much better. I do like it though. very cute, very creative.

Very cool take on the challenge. I love all the texture. Jsut wish I could see more. It seems to lack contrast in some areas but has enough in others. That's always very tough to do much to fix in basic. Overall great capture though.

Looks like a wonderful place to shoot. Your photo just looks a bit flat to me. Granted you have nice contrast in that piece of land in the lower right hand corner so I assume to boost contrast in the rest of the shot(being basic editing) you'd have had to make that section too contrasty. Still may have been the better choice as it lacks oomph as is. Wonderful scene and composition though.

Ohh... I don't even know what that is but it's pretty. I think i'd prefer a larger DOF but very interesting placement in the frame and matching the border is a great touch.
